You know you’d like to put a pool enclosure around your new in-ground pool. A pool enclosure can make your backyard more beautiful, and it can make your pool more enjoyable. Visit this link for more information.
Wondering about Structural Materials
When building a pool enclosure, choosing the right building material is vitally important. Some people believe that making the enclosure out of steel will be the best way to build the structure. But that’s not always true. Read about What’s Wrong With a Wooden Pool Enclosure here.
Steel
Even when the steel has been treated to keep it from corroding, it eventually will corrode. If you don’t want a surprise when a post that was holding up your pool enclosure collapses, don’t depend on steel for the long term.
Wood
Wood will always rot eventually, it can’t be helped. Even if you paint it regularly, eventually it will rot. Sometimes wood will warp, and sometimes insects will chew it up. It’s not a surprise when a wooden pool enclosure fails.
Aluminum
Aluminum is your best bet for structural integrity. Aluminum structural beams are lighter than wood and also stronger. Aluminum can’t rot, so your pool enclosure will last a lifetime. Aluminum is naturally resistant to corrosion. This is very important since a pool is a very humid environment.
