Pool Screen Enclosure
Do you stretch out by the pool wondering what the neighbors think about your choice in bathing attire? Or maybe, have you ever wished that your view included less of their backyard? It’s hard to relax in your personal backyard oasis when you feel open to the world. You deserve seclusion, and these four pool privacy ideas deliver with style and function.
Top Pool Screen Privacy Ideas
1. Soften the View With a Pool Privacy Screen Enclosure – Wouldn’t it be great if passing eyes couldn’t see in, and that’s just one advantage of a pool privacy screen enclosure. Privacy screens for a pool enclosure gives you a sense of security from the outside world without shutting everything out. Sunlight and fresh air filter through, so you enjoy coastal nature at its best. As an added bonus, leaves and bugs don’t interrupt your downtime, the pool stays cleaner, and you can unwind knowing that the neighbors can’t see which book you’re reading settled into your chaise lounge. Ask us about Phifer Glas-Shield as a way to keep nosy neighbors out of your business.

2. Turn Pergolas Into Escapes – One is a lovely addition to the backyard, but two double up the beauty around your pool with areas ideal for ducking the sun. Placement is the key to privacy with these pretty structures when their location blocks sightlines across your property line. Drapes of ivy climbing up their walls turn pergolas into private escapes disguised as attractive outdoor hideaways gracing the landscape. See FAQs about Building a Pergola
3. Install Friendly Privacy Fencing – You don’t have to build an intimidating security fence to enjoy a sense of privacy around the backyard pool. The right combination of style and materials protect the view from and onto your property without it feeling like a stockade. Talk to a screen and enclosure contractor about fence designs with lattice tops, shadowbox posting or arbor gateways. Professionally designed privacy fencing protects your outdoor getaway with good looks that add to your property’s value.
4. Hush Whispers With Water Features – The sound of a flowing fountain soothes the soul, and it also acts as natural background noise that keeps conversations from being overheard. Your neighbors surely don’t eavesdrop, but a waterfall splashing into the pool muffles casual backyard chat. A combination of water features and a pool privacy screen also spare your ears from noisy parties next door.
You probably don’t worry about the paparazzi peeking into your backyard life, but everyone deserves a little privacy. Dulando Screen & Awning specializes in solutions that create secluded retreats without walling off the rest of the world. We’re happy to share beautiful backyard privacy ideas that suit your property, lifestyle and budget. Contact us at 407-862-6060 or fill out our online form to speak to a design consultant.

Three simple steps to follow during a pool screen enclosure installation
1. Outline Expectations
Installing a new pool screen enclosure will go more smoothly if everyone’s expectations are outlined ahead of time. Before any actual construction begins, our experienced team will talk you through the installation process so that you’ll have a basic understanding of what will happen and when. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or voice concerns.
This is the time to clarify when you can expect us to be onsite and what sections of your property we’ll need access to.

If you’re concerned about any aspect of the screen enclosure installation, let us know so that we can be part of the solution.
2. Get Ready for Us to Work
Seeing your peaceful backyard change into a busy job site can be unnerving. Protect your own peace of mind and assist us in getting your new screened pool enclosure installed by preparing for the transformation.
- Talk with your family and your neighbors so that they know what to expect.
- For safety’s sake, please arrange for children and pets to be somewhere else.
- Be certain that security systems and gates will allow us to enter the property.
- Make sure that we have access to outdoor outlets to power our tools.
- Trim back any landscaping to give us room to work.
- Remove any décor or furniture from the area.
- Cover anything remaining with plastic to protect it.
Occasionally, pool screen enclosure installation projects can be dirty work. We’ll do our best to contain the mess, but it’s smart to take precautions to shield your property.

Patio Enclosures, Pool Screen Enclosure
Have you seen those ads for a cheap patio or pool screen enclosure quote? We sure have! Here are a few ways you can protect yourself against companies who build patio or pool screen enclosures cheaply!
There will always be aluminum screen enclosure companies offering unbelievable deals in the Orlando, Daytona Beach, and New Smyrna Beach areas. Contractors that provide patio or pool screen enclosures can offer great deals, but going with the lowest bidder is not the best for your home. Don’t spend money on building an enclosure made of poor-quality materials just to save a few bucks. If you see an ad for a “cheap quote for patio or pool screen enclosure,” run the other way. Here are a few other tips to help protect yourself against these contractors.
Make an Informed Choice
Use these tips to weed out poor choices in patio screen contractors. It’s wise to do your homework first and then invest wisely in a company that does quality work the first time.
1. Look for consumer reviews and state licensing information.
ALWAYS check consumer websites and verify if other consumers have had problems with a local contractor. Enter the name of any company in a search engine like Google and verify its existence. All legitimate businesses in this field are registered with Florida’s Division of Business and Professional Regulation. DuLando Screen & Awning, Inc. has been building quality screened pool enclosures in Florida since 1968.
2. Look for proper insurance coverage.
Legitimate businesses carry professional liability insurance and other types of coverage to meet industry standards. A pool enclosure company needs insurance to protect against general liability for work performed by its employees and subcontractors. Look on a screened pool enclosure contractor’s website to identify its insurance information. If you aren’t sure whether a contractor’s insurance is legitimate, call the insurer and verify the coverage. Working with an insured company gives you peace of mind that you’re covered if something goes wrong with the contractor’s work.
3. Don’t be rushed into signing a contract.
A quality screened-in enclosure contractor stands behind its reputation. Their staff will clearly explain the terms of a service contract and the cost of a patio enclosure. The detailed quote should be free. A quality contractor won’t pressure you into signing a contract. Before choosing a patio or pool screen enclosure contractor, see if the service comes without any conditions and meets your scheduling requirements. Please take the free quote and compare it to quotes obtained from other patio enclosure companies in the same geographic area.
4. Research the quality of materials and workmanship.
Ensure that all aluminum and screen materials used for your new screen enclosure will not endure Florida’s weather patterns. Verify the types of materials used and how they will stand up to regular amounts of rain, wind, dirt and resist contact from children and pets. Although you cannot expect materials to be hurricane-proof, look for materials and workmanship that will withstand tropical storm winds.
Not all pool screen enclosure contractors are the same. Every decent company has a reputation for building enclosures to satisfy customers. Our goal in preparing this list is to help protect you against unsavory contractors. Read more about pool screen enclosures.

Pool Screen Enclosure
In the case of patio and screened pool enclosures, not all screen material is created equally. In fact, a wide variety of patio and pool enclosure screen types are available for just about anything you could want. Need to keep bugs out of the patio area? There’s a screen for that. Want something that resists pet scratches? You can find a screen for that too.
Like everything outdoors in Florida, most building materials will disintegrate over time in the harsh Florida elements. Since screens are often on the outside of our homes, they take quite a beating from the sun, rain, wind and anything else that might land on it.
Phifer screen mesh does what other screen meshes fail to do: deliver quality results over the long term. Phifer produces many patio and pool enclosure screen types to protect against insects, reduce solar heat gain, resist pet scratches, and reduce wind-blown debris. You not only get a quality product with Phifer; you also get a screen that lasts for years.

Pool Screen Enclosure
A pool screen enclosure does so much for your outdoor space. Whether it’s protecting your family from insects or creating a barrier against debris, an enclosure provides numerous benefits and enhances your outdoor activities. These benefits, however, come at a cost to homeowners looking to upgrade their pool area and create an enjoyable entertainment space. Since clients often ask us about a pool screen cost, we thought we’d put together this helpful guide.
Factors for Determining Pool Screen Enclosure Cost
It’s not just one thing that determines the total cost of installing a pool screen enclosure. Your pool size, shape and location all affect the total cost. Don’t forget about the materials you choose for your enclosure, which also affect how much you’ll pay in the end.
Pool screen enclosure costs range in price; however, on average, the cost is between $8,000 and $10,000 for a 20-foot by the 40-foot pool deck with a dome roof. Of course, the cost of a pool enclosure can fluctuate and either increase or decrease depending on the design, materials and options. You can save money by installing only what you need to surround your pool or spend more money by selecting an elaborate design and the most premium options.
Pool Screen Enclosure Costs
How much does a screened-in pool cost in the Orlando, Daytona Beach or New Smyrna Beach areas? It costs about the same as anywhere else in Florida. Just because you live on the coast doesn’t mean you’ll have to spend more money on your enclosure.
Additional factors for determining the total pool screen enclosure cost include:
- Material delivery to and from your home
- Preparing the site for installation
- Debris removal
Choosing a Type of Screen for your Pool Enclosure

Pool Screen Enclosure
Just as you can choose from several different pool designs, you can also select between various screened in pool enclosure designs. A screen enclosure benefits you in so many ways, from cutting down your maintenance chores to creating an outdoor space for gathering and entertaining. We’ve outlined a few roof types for screen enclosures. These roof designs depend on the certain style and function you want for your pool screen enclosure. Whether it’s a mansard roof or a dome roof you’re interested in, you have a lot to consider when it comes picking out the right roof type for your screen enclosure.
The Different Roof Types of Screen Enclosures
Mansard Roof
The mansard roof is the most popular screen enclosure roof. This style of roof slopes upward on all sides and has a flat, level midsection.
Because of its design, the mansard seems more open than other roof styles and gives the impression of more space.
Hip Roof
Hip roofs look like mansards except for one thing: A hip doesn’t have a flat midsection. Instead, the hip slopes up from all sides and meets at the top.
Because of their slopes, hip enclosure roofs provide more wind resistance during storms. They also provide the illusion of being taller than a mansard roof.
Dome Roof
Like the mansard, a dome roof creates a sense of open space. It also adds curbside appeal because of its gentle slope and architectural design.
These roofs also resist wind and can weather Florida’s storms throughout the years.
Gable Roof
A gable roof, also known as an A-frame roof, has two sloping sides that create a triangle.
This enclosure roof complements many homes in Florida because it shares the same roof design. It can stand alone and surround a pool or attach to an open patio that has a gable.
Slope Roof
A sloping roof works well with only certain styles of architecture.
A slope-style roof is efficient in shedding leaves and debris from your enclosure. This screen enclosure roof complements many homes in Florida because of its gentle slope and architectural design.
These 4 basic screen pool enclosure designs are all commonplace in the Florida market and most companies with average experience can probably build them.
However, the next two screened in pool enclosure roof types are highly specialized and you’ll want to check and double check your screen enclosure company can handle that type of enclosure.
2-story Screen Enclosures
If you have a 2-story home or townhome, it’s possible you’ll want a 2-story screen enclosure. It will provide an openness to your pool area as well as enclose a top floor balcony if you have one. Although they are extremely beautiful and complement your home perfectly, they are obviously more expensive and more difficult to build. Experience is key with a 2-story screen enclosure.
Custom Roofs
You don’t have to limit yourself to a few roof styles for your pool enclosure. We can install a custom-built enclosure to suit your needs. We’ll combine a mansard on a two-story pool cage or create a flat roof enclosure to match your home. No matter what kind of roofline your home has, we can contour any roof to make your enclosure look like an extension of your house. Again, experience is key to developing a custom pool enclosure roof.
When looking for a pool screen enclosure, you can see the different roof types also serve specific purposes in helping you reduce maintenance in your pool area.
The best way to approach making this decision is to look through our gallery of different screened in pool enclosures. Our design specialist can also help you decide which roof type would fit best with your home’s overall look. Call us at 407-862-6060 or fill in our online estimate form.
