Installing a pool enclosure on an existing pool:solutions and prices

What about the pool enclosure

The swimming pool enclosure is an installation to be placed around the swimming pool with the aim of covering it. It consists of glass walls and a steel, wood or aluminum structure. Like barriers, alarms or tarpaulins, this equipment is part of the safety devices made compulsory by law, with the aim of avoiding the risk of drowning. To be approved, the model must meet the NF P90-309 standards.

Beyond its safety function, the pool enclosure preserves the quality of the water by protecting it from external pollution:tree leaves, insects and other small dirt. Better, it allows you to enjoy the swimming pool during all seasons. Whether the weather outside is rainy or windy, this does not prevent you from enjoying the pleasures of swimming under this shelter.

The pool enclosure:several models to choose from

Given its many advantages, the pool enclosure is experiencing a meteoric rise among individuals so that it is now available in a multitude of models. The latter differ firstly in their height. There are, first of all, the low shelters of one meter high which are discreet, protect against pollution and keep the water at the right temperature. Unfortunately, they prevent access to the surroundings of the basin. Then come the high shelters of 1.90 to 3 meters which allow you to enjoy the surroundings of the pool and to swim all year round. Halfway between these two models is the semi-high shelter measuring between 1.20 and 1.80 meters.

In addition to the heights, this equipment also stands out for its technology. There are sliding or semi-sliding shelters, telescopic shelters and removable shelters. The difference between the models is also based on their shape:canted, straight or dome-shaped.

Very varied prices

Comparing quotes for swimming pool enclosures is the ideal solution to find one at the best price. The diversification of models allows all budgets to find what they are looking for. Prices depend on dimensions and technology. Thus, a low telescopic shelter will be priced between 6000 and 15000 euros. It is 8000 to 17000 euros if it is a semi-high model and 15000 to 22500 euros for high models.

Prices for low sliding shelters range from 3500 to 8000 euros. Mid-high, they cost between 7,000 and 14,000 euros. And for high models, 7500 to 20000 euros will be needed.

Low removable shelters are worth between 2500 and 6000 euros. If they are fixed and high, plan a budget between 9000 and 40000 euros.

Note that it is possible to motorize this equipment to simplify opening and closing. But in this case, it will be necessary to increase the price of the materials and the installation by around 5000 euros.
