Custom Pool Enclosures Built for Savannah Homes

Savannah Screens designs and installs pool enclosures that match how people actually live and swim in Savannah, GA. Before we talk about materials or price, we start with how you use your pool. Do you swim at night and need integrated lighting? Do you host big family cookouts and want a larger deck area inside the cage? Or is this mainly to keep bugs and debris out so you spend less time skimming? We walk the whole yard with you, note wind exposure, nearby trees, roof lines, and property setbacks, then sketch enclosure shapes that fit your pool and meet local code.

In Savannah, humidity, salt in the air, and frequent storms are a bigger threat to a pool enclosure than the occasional cold snap. We design around that reality. That means choosing the right aluminum profile thickness for wind uplift, fastener types that resist rust, and screen mesh that will not sag from constant moisture. If you are close to tidal creeks or marsh, we also look at how airflow moves across your yard so the enclosure does not trap heat or mildew.

We also account for how the enclosure will look from inside your home. We check sightlines from key windows and doors, then plan beam heights and roof style so you keep open views instead of staring into horizontal frames. With Savannah Screens you get a pool enclosure that is treated like a permanent extension of your living space, not just a metal cage dropped over the deck.

Materials, Screen Types, and Design Options

The structure of your pool enclosure is usually powder coated aluminum, but the choices inside that category matter. For most Savannah homes we recommend heavier wall aluminum beams for the roof perimeter and main spans, then lighter profiles for verticals to keep the frame strong but not bulky. We typically use stainless or coated fasteners so salty coastal air does not eat through screws and connectors.

For screen fabric, we will talk you through a few real-world options. Standard insect screen is the most budget friendly and blocks mosquitoes, gnats, and lovebugs, but it can let smaller “no-see-ums” through, which can be an issue closer to marsh areas around Isle of Hope, Skidaway, or Wilmington Island. For those properties we usually suggest a no-see-um mesh with smaller openings and heavier fibers, which also reduces wind-driven mist from afternoon storms. If privacy is a concern from neighboring yards, we can mix in privacy screen panels on certain sides while keeping clearer mesh toward your best views.

Roof design is another important choice. A mansard roof is common because it gives good height in the center and a clean tie-in to the house, which works well with many Savannah ranch and low country style homes. Gable or hip roofs can be better when we need to match an existing roofline or shed water away from a particular spot. We also offer picture window bays where we span large openings with minimal framing around a clear view side, ideal when your pool faces a marsh, golf course, or wooded buffer.

Door and access details affect daily use as much as the overall shape. We help you decide where to place screen doors so you are not walking a long way around the pool with groceries or trash. Self-closing, self-latching hardware that meets safety rules is standard. We can add pet doors or low rails where dogs tend to push on the screen, and kick plates near door bottoms to protect the mesh from foot traffic and lawn tools.

How Pool Enclosure Installation Works Step by Step

Savannah Screens follows a clear, predictable process so you know what is happening at each stage. It starts with a site visit where we measure your pool deck, check the condition of the slab or pavers, and inspect the home’s fascia or wall where the enclosure will connect. We also look for irrigation heads, landscape lighting, and drainage paths that might need to be modified.

Once we have measurements and design choices, we produce a scaled drawing and load calculations for local building code. In Chatham County and the City of Savannah, permits are typically required for new pool enclosures, so we prepare that paperwork, supply engineering when needed, and submit it. During this time, we order materials and schedule an installation window that works around your calendar and the weather. In this region, the most reliable installation seasons are late fall and winter, when afternoon storms are less frequent and material lead times are shorter, but we install year round whenever weather allows.

On installation day, we start by marking the layout on the deck and locating all anchor points. For concrete decks we drill and set concrete anchors with corrosion resistant hardware. On paver decks we may need to add a concrete footer or hidden stabilizing system so the enclosure does not shift. We set the wall tracks, then start assembling wall frames and uprights on site, squaring and leveling each section as we go.

Next, we install the roof beams and cross members, then tighten all structural connections and check for proper pitch so rainwater drains where it should. Only after the frame passes our alignment and fastening checks do we begin screening. Screen panels are rolled into tracks with spline, pulled drum tight to avoid future sagging, then trimmed clean. We pay attention to panel size and orientation so that wind loads are distributed evenly.

At the end, we install doors, hardware, closers, and any accessories like pet doors or kick plates. We clean the site, run a full walkthrough with you, check door operation and screen tension, and review basic care tips like rinsing salt spray and avoiding harsh chemicals on the frame. The whole process for a typical residential pool enclosure often runs two to five days on site, depending on size and complexity.

Costs, Site Conditions, and What Affects Your Price

The cost of a pool enclosure in Savannah varies, but we are upfront about what drives the number. The three biggest factors are size, roof style, and screen type. Larger footprints and taller rooflines require more aluminum and more structural bracing, which directly affects material and labor. A simple shed roof that attaches along one wall of the house is usually less costly than a high mansard roof with wide clear spans and picture windows.

Site conditions can add or reduce cost in ways that may not be obvious at first glance. A solid concrete deck that was poured with the enclosure in mind is typically the easiest situation. If your deck is a mix of older concrete and newer pavers, or if there are settlement cracks near the pool, we may recommend localized repairs or additional footers so the enclosure does not shift or pull loose over time. Homes closer to the coast or in more open, wind exposed yards might need upgraded structural packages to handle gusts from summer thunderstorms and tropical systems.

Screen selection matters too. Upgrading from standard insect mesh to no-see-um or privacy mesh adds material cost but can be worth it if biting insects or close neighbors are a concern. Stainless or high grade coated fasteners cost a bit more up front but save headaches when salt air would otherwise rust standard screws in a few seasons.

Permits and engineering are another piece. In Savannah and nearby municipalities, plan review times and engineering requirements vary, especially in HOA neighborhoods or historic areas. Savannah Screens handles the paperwork, but there are still permit and possible engineering fees that we include in your written estimate so there are no surprises.

Finally, timing can influence both cost and schedule. Spring and early summer fill quickly because everyone wants their pool enclosure ready before peak swimming season. If your schedule is flexible, planning installation for late fall or winter often shortens the wait and can sometimes open up off-peak pricing on labor or materials when suppliers run promotions.

Local Considerations, Maintenance, and Choosing Savannah Screens

Our coastal climate creates a specific set of challenges that should guide how you choose a pool enclosure installer. Frequent afternoon storms, strong UV, pollen from pines and oaks, and salt carried in by coastal winds all put extra strain on frames and screen mesh. When Savannah Screens plans an enclosure, we consider typical wind directions, nearby tree species, and how runoff currently moves during heavy rain so the new structure does not trap water against your foundation or create slippery algae spots.

Mosquito and gnat populations in Savannah can also be intense from late spring through fall, especially around standing water and marsh. That is why we talk frankly about screen options that do more than keep out just the big bugs. For homes near wetlands, lakes, or tidal creeks, we often lean toward tighter weave mesh and design for good cross ventilation so air moves freely and the enclosure stays comfortable even on muggy evenings.

Once the enclosure is installed, basic maintenance goes a long way. We recommend rinsing the frame and screens with a garden hose every month or two to remove salt, dust, and pollen. Avoid pressure washers, which can stretch or tear screens and force water into seals. Keep nearby trees trimmed so heavy limbs cannot fall onto the roof panels during storms. If you notice a panel starting to sag or a corner of screen pulling, call before it becomes a large tear; small repairs are usually quick and inexpensive.

Choosing Savannah Screens means you are working with a company that focuses specifically on screening and enclosure work, not a contractor that occasionally adds an enclosure to a long list of unrelated services. We are familiar with local codes, HOA expectations, and the kind of wear that shows up in this region after a few years. During our visit we will tell you candidly if an idea looks good on paper but is likely to age poorly in Savannah’s climate, and we will offer alternatives that stand up better long term.

From first layout to final walkthrough, our goal is a pool enclosure that makes your backyard easier to use every day, reduces cleaning, and stands up to the coastal conditions unique to Savannah, Georgia.
