Unshaded pools are unusable for many summer months, even at night, without a refrigeration system. But, in the winter, they need solar gain to reduce heating bills. Not a good plan for a permanent cover.<br class=""><div class="">

A screen cage over a pool typically drops the temperature a minimum of 5 to 10 F depending on how wide the weave of the screen AND how clean you keep the screen , a totally closed enclosure also has to deal with condensation.
