Pool Enclosure Safety Guide
Screen Enclosures for Pool Safety: Protecting Children and Pets
Beyond Bugs: A Safety Barrier
A swimming pool provides endless fun and relaxation for Treasure Coast families. However, safety around the water is paramount, especially with children and pets. While primarily installed to keep insects out, a pool screen enclosure serves as a critical layer of safety, providing a physical barrier around the pool area. This essential function offers invaluable peace of mind for homeowners. Right Way Enclosures & Pavers designs and builds screened pool enclosures with safety as a top priority for residents in Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie, and Sebastian.
Preventing Accidental Access
For families with young children, an enclosure is one of the most effective ways to prevent accidental, unsupervised access to the pool. The structure completely surrounds the pool deck, limiting entry points. Crucially, ensure your pool screen door is equipped with self-closing and self-latching hardware, positioned high enough to be out of reach of small children. This ensures the door closes securely behind anyone entering or exiting, maintaining the integrity of the barrier – a vital safety feature for Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie homes.
Keeping Curious Pets Secure
Pets are beloved family members, but curiosity near water can be dangerous. A pool screen enclosure prevents dogs, cats, and other domestic animals from accidentally falling into the pool when unattended. It also stops them from wandering into the pool area and potentially getting trapped or encountering pool chemicals. For added security against pets scratching or pushing through screens, consider installing durable pet screen mesh in lower panels or the entire enclosure during construction or pool cage rescreening.

Deterring Unwanted Wildlife
Florida's natural environment means wildlife occasionally visits backyards. A swimming pool cage acts as an effective deterrent, keeping unwanted critters like snakes, frogs, turtles, raccoons, ducks, and even occasionally small alligators out of your pool water and off your pool deck. This not only keeps the pool cleaner but significantly enhances safety for people and pets using the pool area, providing a more secure swimming environment in Sebastian and surrounding communities.
Meeting Regulations & Security
Many municipalities in Indian River County and St. Lucie County have specific pool safety barrier requirements. A properly installed screen enclosure with code-compliant doors often satisfies these regulations, avoiding the need for separate pool fencing within the enclosure. Furthermore, locking the screen doors provides an additional layer of security, helping to prevent unauthorized access to your pool area when your home is unoccupied, adding value beyond basic safety.
