Do I need a fence around my pool?

• <div><p>Each state has its own regulations about pool fences, and laws to protect both swimmers and pool owners. Before installing a pool, you’ll need to research what the pool laws in your state, city, and county are to ensure that you’re adhering to the legal regulations. Inground pools typically need to have a fence around the entirety of them, but the rules regarding above-ground pools are less stringent. A good rule of thumb is to always have a fence around your pool to ensure safety for all. </p></div>

Do you need a fence around a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-fence.htm">building a fence</a> around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.</p></div>

Does a pool enclosure increase home value?

• <div><p>If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. </p><p>On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.</p></div>

Q: How much room do you need around a pool?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-choose-a-swimming-pool-design.htm">When designing your dream pool</a>, it's important to leave enough room for safe walkways, patios, and extras such as outdoor kitchens and fire pits. Your local building codes may specify the minimum space between your pool and your house, utility lines, and property line. In most cases, the area of the patio around the pool should be equal to or greater than the surface area of the pool.</p></div>

Q: Are pool screen enclosures worth it?

• <div><p>Depending on your budget, wants, and needs, a pool enclosure can be a worthwhile investment. It all comes down to how much you use your pool, and what it would mean to you to have year-round access to it.</p><p>If you know that you'll swim in your pool a lot, then having an enclosure means you don't have to worry about the weather. It's also a lot easier to maintain the water, because you don't have to deal with leaves falling into the pool, and the water's chemical levels tend to be more stable.</p></div>

A good company to work with. They worked with us to get the rebate. An expensive job but they were a little less than others. Price included everything (fuel transfer, removal, install & disposal). They worked fast and left a clean work site. Highly recommended.
