A pool enclosure designed for more protection
A brighter way to put a solid roof over the pool.
Lexan is a well-known brand of polycarbonate sheet. In a pool enclosure, translucent panels can form a solid roof that admits natural light while providing more direct protection from rain, leaves, and other elements than a screened roof.
The roof is only one part of the project. Southern Patio & Screens custom designs the complete aluminum enclosure—including its structure, screened walls, doors, connections, drainage considerations, and relationship to the home.
If you are beginning with the broader question of which enclosure is right for your property, start with our custom pool enclosures overview.
Lexan structures built around real homes
Solid overhead coverage that still feels connected to the outdoors.
Each enclosure responds to the pool, home, roofline, exposure, and amount of light desired.
Why consider a polycarbonate roof?
More overhead protection without giving up natural light.
Lexan multiwall sheet is used in architectural roofing and glazing because it combines light weight, impact strength, weatherability, light transmission, and thermal performance. The exact characteristics depend on the panel product selected.
Daylight transmission
Translucent panels admit natural light; available colors and structures can change brightness and solar transmission.
Impact-resistant material
Polycarbonate sheet is valued for high impact strength, making it useful for exposed architectural applications.
UV-protected surface
Architectural Lexan sheet products are available with protective surfaces intended for long-term outdoor exposure.

Lexan enclosure questions
What homeowners usually want to know.
It is a custom pool enclosure that incorporates Lexan-brand or comparable architectural polycarbonate sheet, typically as translucent solid roofing supported by an aluminum structure. Screened walls can maintain airflow and insect protection around the pool.
A screened roof keeps insects out but allows rain and small debris through. A solid polycarbonate roof provides more overhead shelter while translucent panels continue to admit daylight. The best choice depends on the desired experience, exposure, design, and budget.
No transparent or translucent roof should be described that broadly. Architectural Lexan products are available with UV-protected surfaces and different light and solar-transmission properties. The appropriate panel should be selected according to its published specifications and the project goals.
No. Products vary by brand, thickness, multiwall structure, color, coatings, light transmission, thermal performance, allowable spans, and warranty. The specified panel and the supporting structure must suit the application.
No outdoor enclosure is maintenance-free. Polycarbonate is a durable, weatherable material, but panels, channels, seals, gutters, screens, framing, and drainage paths should still be inspected and cleaned according to the installed system’s requirements.
Yes. Southern Patio & Screens designs custom pool cages and enclosures with configurations selected around the home, pool, views, exposure, and priorities. Explore all pool enclosure options.
