Owning a pool in Florida is a great way to beat the heat. With warm weather all year long, many homeowners elect to have an in-ground pool built in the backyard. Numerous homes typically have what's referred to as a "birdcage" style screening covering the square footage of the outdoor pool area. The style "birdcage" is referring to large beams with screening in between that resemble that of an oversized birdcage, just for humans in their leisure time. But does a pool really need to get that sort of outdoor covering? Explore the benefits that come from a birdcage pool enclosure here and decide for yourself!

Less bugs! Skimming the pool continually is going to get real old, real quick. With the screen enclosure, this limits the amounts of fallen leaves or strange bugs (or other critters) that may end up in the water.
Filter out that sunburn! Now it's not recommended to ever spend too long outside without some SPF sunscreen on, but with the screen filtering, some of the harmful UV rays there shouldn't be any extra worry.
Hurricane ready birdcages. The birdcage enclosure can take a beating typically, especially if newly installed. The screens may come loose or tear due to debris in a rough storm, but the beams will stay secure. This also goes back to keeping the pool as free from debris as possible.
No hot pools! As well as filter the UV rays, the screens act as a buffer from the heat as well. It may make the pool a few degrees cooler than usual, but a pool heater can always be installed and used to regulate the temperature.
An enclosed pool is a happy pool! Keep the pool area and anything that might be kept in a patio area safe outside under the protection of the birdcage instead of out in the open or crammed into a room at the end of the day.

Installing a birdcage pool enclosure is not something that absolutely needs to be done, but from the points brought up here, it would be a smart addition to any home with a pool. Keep the family cooled off and chilled out this summer under a protective, reliable enclosure.

Mansfield Landscaping did a wonderful job on our backyard. They arrived when they promised, did exactly what we agreed upon and completed the job in the time they quoted. The crew was professional and they did quality work. I would definitely use them again.

We had a pool installed recently and the landscaping company we had been recommended kept dragging their feet on getting the project started. While waiting on callbacks and estimates, we decided to go to a local company and check them out. We just stopped by Mansfield Landscaping without an appointment. We were greeted by Steve and he spent over an hour with us discussing how he works and what he had to offer us. At that time, he showed us all the products he had and could select for our project. He allowed us to hand select our palms and trees as well as the stones and pavers for the hardscape. Steve had a huge selection to choose from and it was great to be able to actually see the products before they arrived for the project. The next day Steve came to our house to give us an estimate. In less than two weeks, this large project was complete. It wasn’t cheap but we feel it was worth it. He delivered a beautiful product and we are very pleased. I know we will enjoy it for years to come. We would recommend his service highly.

I chose Mansfield Landscaping to repair my sprinkler system and resod my entire yard and add palm trees with rocks around the trees and the new birdcage (screen) Everything looked like disaster after they completed my new swimming pool. I now have a beautiful yard with trees, flowers, and rocks to protect the screen I was surprised how quickly all this was done.

Mansfield Landscaping delivered exactly what was promised. On time, on budget with no issues. Three other landscapers never even responded. I would use them again without reservation.
