Why is it important to protect your swimming pool enclosure from hail?

Hail can be very dangerous and cause significant damage to your property, including your pool enclosure and swimming pool. Hailstones can easily penetrate the roofs of your pool enclosure and cause internal damage, such as cracks in polycarbonate panels or dents in aluminum poles. In the most serious cases, hail can even break the windows of your swimming pool enclosure.

How to protect your swimming pool enclosure from hail?

To avoid hail damage, there are several steps you can take.

Install hail resistant polycarbonate panels:

It is important to ensure that your polycarbonate panels are weather and hail resistant. If your panels are old or damaged, it is advisable to replace them before the storm season begins.

Use protective covers:

There are protective covers specially designed to protect your pool enclosure against bad weather and hail. These covers are lightweight and easy to install, and can protect your shelter from most hail damage.

Remove light items:

When expecting a hailstorm or severe thunderstorm, it is recommended that you remove all lightweight items, such as chairs, tables and floating toys, from the area around your pool. These objects can be thrown against your pool enclosure by high winds and cause damage.

Pay attention to the weather forecast:

It is important to follow the weather forecast regularly and take preventive measures as soon as you are warned of an impending hailstorm. Make sure your pool enclosure is completely closed before the hail or storm begins.

FAQs:

  1. Can all protective covers protect against hail?
  2. No, not all protective covers are necessarily designed to protect against hail. It is important to choose a protective cover specially designed to resist hail.

  3. Should I remove the water from my pool before the hailstorm?
  4. No, it is not necessary to drain your pool completely before the hailstorm. However, it is recommended to reduce the water level in your pool to prevent water from splashing against your pool enclosure.

  5. Can I repair hail damage to my pool enclosure myself?
  6. If the hail damage is minor, you can try to repair it yourself using polycarbonate panel repair kits or replacing the damaged parts. However, for the most significant damage, it is recommended to call a professional.

Conclusion :

Protecting your pool enclosure from hail damage is not difficult. All you need to do is take proper preventative measures, such as installing hail-resistant panels, using protective covers, removing light items, and paying attention to the weather forecast. By taking these steps, you can protect your pool enclosure and ensure that you can continue to enjoy your pool without worrying about upcoming storms.
