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>

Q: Can a retaining wall be a pool fence?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-retaining-wall.htm">retaining wall</a> can only function as a fence if it&rsquo;s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn&rsquo;t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall. </p></div>

Q: Can enclosures be designed for year-round use?

• <div><p>Yes, with proper heating or cooling systems and energy-efficient glazing.</p></div>

Q: Do pool enclosures block UV rays?

• <div><p>Some but not all types of pool enclosures block ultraviolet (UV) rays. You can opt for specially coated glass for your enclosure that helps block the harmful UV rays from reaching you in the pool. To keep yourself safe from harmful UV rays while swimming, it&rsquo;s best to routinely use waterproof sunblock. </p></div>
