Screen Enclosure Repair and Maintenance

There are many reasons why pool enclosures experience damage and need repairs. Pests like ducks and birds sitting on screens may cause corrosion from their waste products. Squirrel damage can include holes gnawed through the screen material or wood fascia. Storms and hurricanes as well as severe thunderstorms and hail may damage the entire structure of the pool enclosure or may cause minor damage such as holes, dents, and broken doors. Mold on fixtures and casings may cause corrosion on metal parts and damage to wood fascia. The salty air for homeowners who live near the ocean may cause the metal screening, junctions and fasteners to corrode. Pool enclosures located in environments with extreme temperatures may experience degradation from the sun, warping, dry rot, and faded paint. People and pets may also cause damage to the pool enclosure through everyday use such as splashing water or accidentally colliding with the structure.

Homeowners who will undergo a pool enclosure repair project should consider the purpose of the repair and the type of use they would like to get out of their pool. When rescreening the enclosure, consider an upgrade to a specialty screen like solar or privacy screen. These can boost the amount of time that homeowners are able to enjoy the pool. Upgrades to the screen material are another option as screen that is more tightly woven is more durable and more effective at preventing insects from getting into the pool area. Homeowners can upgrade to more durable doors and aesthetically pleasing hardware if getting a new enclosure. Adding childproof safety locks enhances the security of the pool. Property owners who are looking for a change in scenery can update the color of the enclosure or give it a facelift with paint that can handle exposure to the chlorine and other chemicals used to treat the pool's water. Adding extra tie-downs to pool covers, screens and doors helps to protect the pool during severe weather such as hurricanes.

There are many repairs that a pool enclosure might need. These include screen repair, complete rescreening, cage painting, fixing rotted wood fascia, fixing broken doors, repairing structure damage, and fixing sealant around junctions of the enclosure.
