ClearView and panoramic pool enclosures

What makes an enclosure ClearView

A ClearView or panoramic enclosure is designed to open up sightlines. The framing is laid out so fewer members sit between you and the view.

It is still an engineered aluminum enclosure with Phifer screening and 410 stainless steel fasteners. The difference is in the design: the goal is to look out through the cage, not at it.

Where a panoramic enclosure makes sense

Panoramic enclosures make the most sense where there is something to see. Homes on the water, on a lake, or backing up to a preserve get the most out of an open layout.

If your yard faces a fence or the house next door, the extra design work may not add much. We will tell you honestly which way we would go at the site visit.

Where engineering sets the limits

Every enclosure is engineered for the home and the site, and that engineering decides how open a design can be. The size of the cage, its height, and how it attaches to the house all play a part.

That is why we say "where engineering permits." We design the most open layout the engineering supports for your home, and we explain any limits before you commit.

ClearView vs. a standard enclosure

Both are engineered aluminum enclosures built with the same materials. The difference is how the framing is laid out and what you see through it. Our guide on ClearView vs. standard pool enclosures goes deeper.

Converting an existing cage to ClearView

You do not always need a whole new enclosure to get a panoramic view. Existing cages can be converted to ClearView, and older framing can be replaced with an open layout as part of the job.

Whether your cage can be converted depends on its framing, its condition, and what the engineering allows. We look at it in person and tell you what it would take. Conversions are part of our enclosure renovation work.
