Not many things can top a nice, long day by the pool on a warm summer day in Pensacola, Florida but even in the beautiful Sunshine State, mother nature can be pain in the neck. Rain, bugs, insects, and even bees visit whenever they like. For this reason, one of the biggest debates among people in Pensacola is whether or not they should install a screen enclosure around their pool. “Yes, it will keep bugs out”. “No, it will ruin my view”. Or, “Yes, it will give me a bit more privacy.”
There’s a variety of reasons why you may say Yes or No to installing a pool enclosure. A pool enclosure is not a safety fence to prevent drowning, it’s basically a screen room that can block the view from your pool when not installed properly. Still it’s an amazing bug repellent and provides great protection against the harsh rays of the sun. It’s quite natural for you to flip-flop back and forth on a decision. So, to help you decide we’ve compiled a list of the pros and cons of installing a pool enclosure below. Take a look!
