Related questions

Are screened pool enclosures common in South Carolina, and are they worth it?

They are far less common than in Florida, and the reasons are climate and code. South Carolina has a real winter, so an unscreened pool is closed or lightly used for months anyway, and the heavy spring pollen that coats a pool here coats a screened one too. The mosquito and no-see-um pressure that makes a cage nearly standard in Florida is real in the Lowcountry and parts of the Grand Strand, which is where you will see screened pools, lanais and screened porches around pools; in the Upstate and Midlands a pergola, a fence and a cover are the usual answer. On the code side, a screen enclosure is a structure that needs its own permit and, on the coast, wind design, and whether its screen doors count as the pool barrier is a question for the local building department, because the ISPSC's barrier rules are written for fences and walls; Greenville and Horry inspect whatever barrier you propose at the final. The cheaper alternatives are an automatic safety cover, which meets the barrier option as an ASTM F1346 cover, keeps leaves and pollen out, cuts evaporation and heating cost, and closes the pool in winter; and a plain aluminum fence, which satisfies Section 305 and is what most new South Carolina pools get, as of November 2026.
