Your pool screen enclosure is an opportunity to add functionality and style to your home’s outdoor living space. If you’re in the market for a new pool screen enclosure, you’ve probably heard about the many options available to homeowners.
We know there are so many options out there which can make it hard to choose which one is best for you. It’s so important to consider all your design options before making a final decision. Here’s an overview and explanation of some designs that you could incorporate into your pool screen enclosure!
Pool Screen Enclosure Design Options
When designing your pool enclosure there are a number of design elements that can be tailored to suit the needs and style of your family. Some examples of these include whether you want a more traditional or modern design, or if you want to add a sun shade or a full view screen system.
Pool Enclosure with Full View System
You may have not heard of a “full view system” for your screened in pool before, but this design option is one of our favorites at Screen Enclosures and More! A full view screen enclosure is designed to give you a better view of the scenery beyond your pool enclosure. This design features large, panoramic panels of screen providing you with a seamless and unobstructed view of your backyard.
Although the screen panel is much larger, don’t fret. The screen’s durability and strength is made to meet all Florida hurricane standards, giving you the best of both worlds!

Privacy Curtains
If you’re looking for that extra layer of privacy in your outdoor space, consider privacy curtains! They can be installed on your pool cage and can open and close with ease. This gives you the option to fully adjust the positioning.
Screen enclosures and more is proud to offer Privacy on Demand’s patented all-weather outdoor curtains made to your design preferences for your pool screen enclosure. Using top-of-the-line materials, these privacy curtains are made to last and provide you with optimal privacy and flexibility.
Sunshades
Another functional option for those who wish to add a bit more shade to their pool enclosure is sun shades. While a screen enclosure does provide some protection from the sun, us floridians know that we sometimes need all the shade we can get!
Sun shades are additions to your screen that create an added level of sun protection to you and your family. These are great for over the pool or even over your grilling area!
Pergola
A great way to create an elevated and unique feeling to your outdoor pool space is to build a pergola. Whether you are a fan of modern or traditional design, the right pergola can create a huge sense of sophistication and style to your pool deck and outdoor space.
Tropical Plants
Add tropical plants to your pool deck to bring in a natural element, provide additional privacy and also make the space feel more intimate.
They work especially well if you have a pool deck or patio that doesn’t have much shade, since many tropical plants are able to thrive in direct sunlight. Plus, they can help keep your pool area looking neat and tidy by giving it some structure and color—we love how even just a little selection of plants can add just enough style to make the space feel inviting!
Pool Screen Enclosure Roof Styles
Here are seven of the most popular roof styles when it comes to designing a pool enclosure.
Flat Enclosure
In the event that you are looking for a straightforward and traditional style option, this is the style for you. This screen enclosure roof features, just as the name suggests, a flat roof. The flat roof enclosure has no curves or bends and will cover just about any pool to give it a sleek and seamless appearance.
This is a great option if you are interested in a simple yet effective screened pool cage. It’s also a viable option if your budget is tight, as it generally costs less than other options.
Dome Enclosure
If you are interested in giving your outdoor space more headroom above your swimming area then a dome enclosure could be perfect for you! This design allows for more vertical space and gives you more room to add poolside accessories like slides, volleyball nets and other pool games.
The dome screen enclosure is made again, as the name suggests, in the shape of a dome. This is a great option for homeowners who want an easy-to-maintain pool enclosure. With this shape, leaves and debris easily fall from the roof, making this option great for homes with large trees on the property. Many homeowners are a fan of this design because it has an appealing architectural style.
Custom Enclosure
A viable option for many homeowners is to get a custom pool cage designed! This gives you the freedom to either work with the space that you’ve got, or create a beautiful and unique design made just the way you want.
At Screen Enclosures and More, we specialize in creating custom screened enclosures for your pool or any outdoor patio! From the screen type and color to the roof style and size, we can bring your dream pool enclosure to life!
Sloped Enclosure
The sloped roof style uses a single angle to achieve the look. This design option is typically only compatible with specific architectural styles, so if you’re a fan of this make sure it will work with your house design.
Just like the dome enclosure, the sloped roof is a popular pool enclosure design option among floridians with lots of trees above their pool cage. The angle of the screen roof allows for easy shedding of leaves and debris that fall on top of the screen.
Mansard Enclosure
The mansard roof pool enclosure shape features design aspects from the flat and sloped roof shapes. It typically has two sloped sides that either meet at a point or a flat midsection. This is one of the best options for those looking for a more elevated and stylish pool screen enclosure. With this design, you also get the look of an open and spacious enclosure.
Hip Enclosure
The hip roof is a design that offers two slopes that meet at a ridge line at the top. This creates a classic look that will give the illusion of a more spacious and taller outdoor space making your pool deck feel more luxurious. This style can be customized to accommodate several different sizes from very shallow to quite deep, so there’s something for everyone here!
Hip roof designs also provide a great amount of protection against wind, especially from tropical storms and hurricanes which Floridians know all too well.
Gable Enclosure
The gable enclosure is a more simple yet elegant pool enclosure design, but is still very popular today. This roof style is sloped on two sides in order to form a peak.Because of this, it works well with houses that have an existing gabled roof line.
You can also get creative with this design by adding multiple gables, for example the photo above has two additional gables on each side of the main one.
If you want something with a bit more traditional flair, then a gable roof pool cage may be the option for you!
