Permanent, temporary or retractable pool enclosure

Permanent pool enclosure is an economic approach for small to medium residential swimming pools. Also, the permanent structure can be used as an enclosed recreational space. Temporary enclosure should be considered only for one time event. The most economic approach to a temporary enclosure is tent rental. The retractable pool enclosure provides the best approach to any condition situation. It can be totally enclosed just as a permanent structure. It can be partially open or even completely open. Retractable pool enclosure can accommodate any size of a residential swimming pool as well as any size of a large commercial pool. The retractable pool enclosure can be easily open and close by one person and the commercial size by no more than two people. There are several manufacturers of pool enclosures today in the USA, Canada and Europe offering varieties of design and qualities. Consumers can consult with a local expert in the enclosure and sunroom products and design.

Arizona Lifestyle

You can discover a commen thread in the Arizonian's life style. It is the love for outdoor living. The good weather and the beautiful mountain views with spectacular sunrises and sunsets draws most people to the outdoors. Most of the residential homes, especially the new one today, have some kind of a covered or uncovered patio. Patio and outdoor furniture is a dominate business in Arizona, along with varieties of patio roof covers, patio enclosures and sun rooms. Two of the popular patio roof covers are insulated roof for total shading and lattice roof for partial shading. The insulated roof can be attached to the house wall and supported by an aluminum header beam and posts. The lattice roof cover is made from aluminum tubes and the amount of shading can be determine by the open space between the tubes.

Sunroom Addition in Chandler, Az

We converted an existing covered patio into a larger livable sunroom enclosure. The HOA requested that the addition will have the same style and colors as of the existing house. Also, they requested that the new addition roof will have the same roof tiles as of the house roof. We also tried to build this addition with as many “green” construction features within the HOA limitation. The “Green” features in this addition are:
We used light gauge steel and DenseGlass exterior sheathings
Door and windows are insulated with low “E” coating and argon gas.
We installed a high efficiency heat pump for heating and cooling.

Using Light Gauge Steel Framing for Sunroom Enclosures

Light gauge steel studs can be used in framing any sunroom enclosure as well as patio roof covers. Light gauge steel is a “Green” material because 60% of it comes from recycle automobiles. Although steel cost more than wood it is more durable and provides many benefits such as: always straight, no twisting or splitting, none combustible, termites cannot eat it, stronger than wood, allows for accurate framing details. Also, the wood exterior sheathings can be replaced with cement board or with commercial exterior sheathings such as GP DensGlass Gold Gypsum sheathing.

HOA Requirement for Patio Enclosure

Many of the HOA (Home Owners Association) have very strict requirements and demands that the home owner must comply with in order to obtain the HOA approval to convert an open patio into a sunroom enclosure. For the last 30 years most of the HOA approved the modular type of sunroom enclosures even if the sunroom color did not match the house exterior color. However, lately more and more HOA will not approve the modular type claiming that it is not a perfect match to the existing house design and exterior finishing. The homeowner should know that an existing patio can be converted into a sunroom enclosure by utilizing conventional (not modular) construction techniques that allow us to perfectly match the exterior design and finishing of the existing house. Look at the “before” and “after” photos of two sunroom enclosures. In most cases a conventional built sunroom enclosure will cost the same or less than a modular type sunroom enclosure. Check with your HOA about their requirements before signing a contract or at least, make sure to insert "this contract is subject to the HOA approval" in your contract.

Patio Roof Covers in Phoenix Az

Patio roof covers provides protection from the elements such as sun and rain. A popular patio roof cover in Arizona is the Aluminum (known as Alumawood) lattice roof cover. A standard lattice roof cover provides 50% shading but no protection from the rain. For a total protection from the sun and the rain a solid patio roof must be used. Solid roofs comes in several types and of course some are more expensive that the others. A popular solid patio roof cover is the insulated roof panels (known as IRP). Other types are aluminum flat pan roofs and the conventional wood framing patio roof. In the last few years a louvered patio roof cover was introduced to the Phoenix are. This type allows the homeowner to operate the roof's louvers from a full opening position (no protection at all) to a fully closed position (providing full protection) from the elements. I personally, like to combine at least two types of roof covers for large patios. See the photo here (at the top right of this page) of a combination of IRP roof and lattice roof in one large patio. The bottom photo on is of the rough carpentry stage of a conventional wood framing.
