North Texas summers are no joke—sun blazing, gusty storms rolling through, and mosquitoes that think your backyard is their home turf. A beautifully designed pool enclosure changes that. It turns your pool area into a calm, clean, shade-rich retreat you’ll actually use more months of the year. With Dallas Pergola Company, you get smart design, durable materials, and a look that complements your home—not a boxy “afterthought.” Honestly, that’s the whole point: make it easier to swim, relax, and host without fighting leaves, bugs, or that surprise dust storm.

Pool Enclosures Built for Dallas–Fort Worth Homes
Here’s the thing—DFW isn’t Florida. You don’t need a giant cage to tame the elements. You need a custom enclosure that fits your space, handles spring winds and hail season, and still looks great from the street. We design and build screened pool enclosures, glass and polycarbonate pool rooms, and hybrid shade + screen systems that blend with your patio, roofline, and backyard layout. Clean lines, strong frames, low maintenance—that’s our style.
You know what? We’re picky about hardware and finishes. That’s why we pair marine-grade aluminum with hidden fasteners, use high-tension screen systems for crisp, ripple-free panels, and spec corrosion-resistant coatings that stand up to Texas sun. It’s the little decisions that keep your pool enclosure in Dallas looking new longer.
What Type of Pool Enclosure Fits Your Life?
Screened Enclosures (Breezy, Bug-Resistant)
Ideal if you want airflow without the pests. We use premium mesh (think Phifer and pet-tough weaves) with high-tension tracks for a refined look. Great for keeping out mosquitoes, cottonwood fluff, and the oak leaf confetti that shows up every spring.
Glass or Polycarbonate Rooms (Four-Season Comfort)
Want quieter swims and more climate control? Framed glass or UV-stable polycarbonate panels cut wind, reduce noise, and add shoulder-season warmth. Low-E options help limit heat gain, and operable panels or transoms keep fresh air in the mix.
Hybrid Shade + Screens (Best of Both)
Pair a modern aluminum pergola or timber frame with motorized screens along the perimeter. Shade overhead, screens when you need them, open-air when you don’t. This is a favorite for social pool decks where sightlines and style matter.
Real-World Benefits You’ll Feel Fast
- Cleaner water, less work — Fewer leaves and debris mean your filter runs easier and your weekends get lighter.
- Fewer bugs, more evenings — Mosquitoes and gnats get the memo; you get quiet, late swims.
- UV and glare control — Better comfort and safer surfaces for kids’ feet on hot days.
- Wind and hail resilience — Structural framing and impact-tough panels sized for North Texas weather, not wishful thinking.
- Privacy without walls — Smart screen densities soften views while keeping that open, resort feel.
It sounds like a contradiction—more open yet more protected—but a well-designed enclosure does both. We’ll show you how.
Design Details That Make a Big Difference
Frame profiles with clean sightlines. Screen tension systems that stay taut. Drainage edges that move stormwater efficiently. We obsess over the small things because they add up to a better daily experience.
- High-tension screens — Tighter look, stronger against wind, fewer creases with age.
- Somfy motorized screens — One-tap shade and privacy; set scenes for “kids swim,” “evening dinner,” or “game day.”
- Low-E glass & polycarbonate — Diffuses glare and filters UV without losing that bright, poolside vibe.
- Hidden fasteners & trim — Minimalist lines that complement contemporary and transitional homes across DFW.
Let me explain our approach to style: the enclosure should look like it was always part of your home. Not an add-on. Not a compromise.
Materials: Aluminum, Wood Accents, or Hybrid Frames
We love timber—and we build it every day for pergolas—but around a pool, moisture and chemicals make aluminum framing the long-term winner. Still, you might crave warmth. That’s where hybrid designs shine: aluminum structure for longevity, with real-wood fascias, ceiling inlays, or posts where they’ll age gracefully and avoid splash-zone wear.
| System Type | Best For | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum Screen Enclosure | Airflow, bug control, budget, quick install | Low; occasional wash and screen checks |
| Glass/Polycarbonate Room | Wind mitigation, shoulder-season warmth, quiet | Low-medium; glass care and gasket inspections |
| Hybrid Pergola + Motorized Screens | Flexible shade, entertaining, high style | Low; periodic motor/screen calibration |
Built for Texas Weather (Because, Well, Texas)
DFW brings heat, gusts, and the occasional hailstone with “why is that falling from the sky?” energy. Our structures are engineered for regional wind loads, with robust anchors and span strategies that keep frames sturdy and screens tight. Where impact resistance is needed, we specify impact-rated panels and reinforced mullions. It’s not flashy, but when a storm blows through, you’ll be glad we were fussy.
Another quiet win: thoughtful water management—drip edges, gutters, and downspout routing that keep splash and storm runoff away from doorways and high-traffic zones. Slippery decks? Not on our watch.
Safety, Permits, and HOA—Handled
Pool areas come with rules. We help you navigate them without turning your project into a paperwork project. From setbacks and foundation checks to HOA submittals and city permits, our team gathers specs, prepares drawings, and manages approvals. We’ll coordinate with your pool builder or remodeler when needed so finishes align and hardware heights are family-friendly.
Quick note on barrier and gate guidelines: enclosures may need specific latch heights, door alarms, or self-closing hardware. We design with those in mind from the start so you pass inspection smoothly and keep the space safe for kids and guests.
Our Process: Clear, Quick, and Neighbor-Approved
- On-site visit & concept — We take measurements, study sun/wind, and talk through how you actually use the pool.
- Design & materials — Finish palettes, screen types, glass vs. polycarbonate, motorization—organized and easy to compare.
- Permits & HOA — We assemble submittals and coordinate with your city and association.
- Build schedule — Staged installation to limit downtime; we protect your deck and landscaping throughout.
- Walkthrough & care — We review care tips and warranty; you get an enclosure that’s ready for splash season.
We move fast, but we don’t rush details. That balance is why neighbors keep asking, “Who built yours?”
What About Cost? Straight Talk
Every backyard is different, so think ranges, not absolutes. Still, ballparks help with planning. The numbers below reflect typical DFW installs with quality components and clean finishes—no corner-cutting.
| Enclosure Type | Common Features | Typical Range* |
|---|---|---|
| Screened Aluminum | High-tension mesh, aluminum frame, gutters | $18K–$35K |
| Hybrid Pergola + Motorized Screens | Aluminum or timber pergola, motorized tracks | $28K–$55K+ |
| Glass/Polycarbonate Room | Low-E glazing, sliders, ventilation | $45K–$95K+ |
*Ranges vary with size, site conditions, finishes, and motorization. We’ll map options so you can see where each dollar goes.
Maintenance: Keep It Easy
Good news—modern enclosures are simple to care for. Rinse frames, wash screens with mild soap, and schedule a seasonal check for tension and fasteners. For glass or polycarbonate, a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner keep panels clear. If you choose motorized screens or shades, we calibrate them on install and review how to set limits like a pro.
One more tip: a little landscape planning goes a long way. We’ll help you position shrubs and drip lines so plants thrive while keeping moisture off critical posts and tracks.
Style That Belongs with Your Home
North Dallas ranch, new Frisco build, or a classic Fort Worth Tudor—every home has a vibe. We echo it with color-matched frames, soffit-friendly connections, and rooflines that read intentional. Prefer bold? Go with a slim-profile, dark-bronze frame and floor-to-ceiling screens. More traditional? Warm timber accents and tongue-and-groove ceilings make the space feel like a true outdoor room.
And the pool at night? That’s where lighting sings. Integrated dimmable LEDs along beams or perimeter caps create a clean, understated glow. No hot spots, no glare on the water—just that soft, resort calm.
