Straightforward answers to the most common questions about designing and building your custom pool. Everything you need to move forward with confidence.
While a screen enclosure is not required statewide, it is one of the most popular upgrades for Florida pools. In Central Florida, screen enclosures help reduce insects, debris, and UV exposure while keeping your pool area more comfortable year-round. At Blue Moon Backyard & Pool Inc., we often recommend enclosures for homeowners who want lower maintenance and a cleaner swimming environment.
A screen enclosure provides multiple benefits, including keeping out mosquitoes and pests, minimizing leaves and debris, reducing cleaning time, and offering partial shade from the Florida sun. It can also help protect your pool finish and decking from excessive wear. Blue Moon designs enclosures that complement your pool layout while enhancing both function and aesthetics.
Many Florida homeowners associations require or strongly encourage screen enclosures, especially in planned communities and golf course developments. Requirements vary by neighborhood, so it’s important to review your HOA guidelines before construction. Blue Moon Backyard & Pool Inc. works with homeowners to ensure enclosure designs meet community standards and local building codes.
The cost of a screen enclosure depends on factors such as size, height, structural framing, and any panoramic or upgraded screen options. Larger pool decks or specialty designs will impact pricing. During your consultation, Blue Moon provides clear guidance so you understand how an enclosure fits into your overall backyard investment.
Screen enclosures help protect your pool from blowing debris and everyday environmental wear, though they are not hurricane-proof structures. Properly engineered enclosures are built to meet Florida building codes and wind load requirements. Blue Moon Backyard & Pool Inc. ensures every enclosure is constructed to local standards for durability and long-term performance.
