Owning a swimming pool brings enormous responsibility to the homeowner.\u00a0 Aside from the liability issues, there is the maintenance, upkeep, and cleaning, which can consume as much time as the enjoyment of the pool itself.\u00a0 Enclosing your swimming pool with a pool enclosure dramatically reduces maintenance, allowing you and your family to realize your dream of using your pool at any time, day or night, while also addressing liability issues.\u00a0 And in this day and age of mosquito-born illnesses, like zika virus and encephalitis, a pool enclosure can save more than just time.<\/span><\/p>\n Swimming pool enclosures are attractive additions to your home which vastly expand the home\u2019s footprint and provide outdoor living space which goes beyond providing a protected swimming area. Enclosures also provide a clean, bug-free environment for entertaining, cooking, and parties.\u00a0 And they also provide the ability to simply walk outside and use your pool without the worry and hassle of cleaning, sweeping, and skimming the pool just in order to swim.<\/span><\/p>\n Pool Enclosures come in a myriad of different designs.\u00a0 When deciding which design is best for you, it is helpful to familiarize yourself with the qualities of the various designs and choose one which works best for your circumstance.\u00a0Generally pool enclosures break down into several distinct shapes.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.tallahasseepoolenclosures.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/all-custom-aluminum-planning-designing_clip_image004.jpg” _builder_version=”4.1″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.1″ text_font=”Cuprum||||||||” custom_margin=”||6px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||||”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.1″]<\/p>\n Gable roof pool enclosures come to a peak in the center.\u00a0 The amount of rise achieved by a gable depends upon the pitch and span, but is generally 4 to 5 feet.\u00a0 But that maximum height is only achieved at the peak, and is lost as the span approaches the wall or house.\u00a0\u00a0 Thus, other designs, such as the mansard, contain more volume for the square footage than the gable.<\/span><\/p>\n Another important thing to remember about the gable is that the peak will be defined by dividing the distance from the attachment point against the house (or the distance between the two walls in the case of freestanding structures) into two equal parts and sloping both divisions at the same degree.\u00a0 \u00a0When an enclosure attaches to a house it typically does so at the overhang, to which we mount a strong, structural extruded 7 inch gutter called a \u201csuper gutter\u201d\u00a0 Thus, the peak will be biased away from the home by a small amount because the overhang and super gutter make the roof measurement less than the wall to wall measurement.\u00a0 Also, most pool buyers concentrate the lion\u2019s share of the concrete between the house and the water, leaving a smaller amount of concrete on the opposite side of the pool, which means a point which is centered as above would typically not line up with the center of the swimming pool itself.\u00a0 Therefore if creating an enclosure which centers on the pool is important to you, it would be necessary to plan ahead to create the right measurements in the pool design.<\/span> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”204,205,206,207,208,209,210,211,212,213,214″ fullwidth=”on” db_image_max_width=”0px” db_image_object_fit=”initial” _builder_version=”4.1″ module_alignment=”center” animation_style=”fade” auto=”on”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.1″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.1″ text_font=”Cuprum||||||||” custom_margin=”||6px|||” custom_padding=”0px|||||”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.1″]<\/p>\n By far the most versatile and adaptable pool enclosure roof design is called a mansard hip.\u00a0 This design slopes up for one division, comes across level for one or more divisions (depending on the span), and drops down again for one division.\u00a0 Key to this design is the congruency between the width of each division and the angle of the slope being the same for all sloping members.\u00a0 Since all the sloping members slope at the same degree for the same distance, they all terminate at the same height.\u00a0What makes the mansard roof more adaptable, and especially different from gabled screen roofs is that the level portion connecting the sloping members can change length without altering the height. This provides flexibility to cover swimming pool footprints which may not be square.<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from its versatility the mansard screen roof has other virtues.\u00a0 Because its sloping members are pitched at a steep 30 degree angle, it achieves approximately the same overall height as a similar gable roof, but affords that height throughout a larger area of floor space, yielding a greater interior volume for a given footprint.\u00a0\u00a0 This added volume make the mansard roof style feel larger and more open than other roof styles.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery

not realize that it is possible to integrate areas of solid cover into the design of the enclosure.\u00a0 But these \u201ccombination\u201d style enclosures are not only possible, but represent an opportunity to increase the utility and enjoyment of outdoor living space at a cost which is a fraction of that of working with traditional wood framed solid roof additions.\u00a0 And since they integrate seamlessly with the screen portion of the pool enclosure, the aesthetic appeal of the project as a whole is improved.<\/span><\/p>\n Typically, combination style pool enclosures incorporate our solid insulated composite aluminum roof system which attaches to the eave of the home.\u00a0 This high strength, walkable roof system affords a rain proof environment which serves as an intermediary element between the house and screened portion of the pool enclosure.\u00a0 The interface between the solid and screen portions consists of a carrier beam and structural super gutter combination that is almost entirely open, so that there is no impediment to the flow of movement between the solid and screened area.<\/span><\/p>\n These structural insulated composite roof systems are widely used in the green building industry because of their superiority to old fashioned wood frame roof systems and their environmentally responsible composition.\u00a0 But there is more going for these composite roof systems than just their hallmark eco-friendly status.\u00a0 They allow you to save money and increase the aesthetic appeal of your enclosure while streamlining the overall design of the structure.<\/span><\/p>\n Consisting of a high density insulated core clad with an embossed aluminum top and bottom layer, these roof systems combine all the features of a ceiling, attic, and roof in a compact and strong package.\u00a0 They look great, insulate very well, and provide a reflective element which, taken together, afford the Energy Star designation for efficiency.\u00a0 And because they support weight, unlike the old non insulated systems, maintenance is a breeze.<\/span><\/p>\n Because the engineering characteristics of composite panels are superb, they can span great distances.\u00a0 The standard 3 inch thick system can span almost 17 feet, and greater spans can be achieved by increasing the thickness of the insulated core or the aluminum \u201cskin\u201d which surrounds it.\u00a0 Depending on the configuration, these systems are capable of spanning up to 30 feet!\u00a0 But in most cases the standard thickness panels are sufficient to do the job, which helps to make these roof systems very economical.<\/span><\/p>\n Moreover, the benefits of using composite aluminum roof systems go beyond their energy efficiency, structural qualities, and eco-friendliness.\u00a0 They also allow installations to proceed more quickly and with less hassles than working with wood.\u00a0 Because All Custom Aluminum installs these systems at the same time as the screened enclosure portion of the job, these roof systems install in as little as one day, not weeks.\u00a0 And since the materials are all matching in finish and design, the whole project looks more consistent and planned.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”281,282,283,284,285,286,287,288,289,290″ db_image_max_width=”0px”

definitely simplifies the overall design, there are many instances where either the attachment to the home or other contingencies dictate that a more complex shape is needed.\u00a0 Hybrid screen roof systems accomplish this by integrating elements of multiple roof styles, or multiple spans of the same roof system, into one synergistic whole.<\/span><\/p>\n Mansard style pool enclosures can be made to span two or more areas of different widths.\u00a0\u00a0 Gables and mansard roof styles can be integrate to wrap around corners.\u00a0 And oddly shaped areas with angled perimeters can be enclosed without resorting to delineating out rectangles with the use of carrier beams, which translates into better, more aesthetically pleasing designs.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery
