This tool calculates the cost of your pool screen enclosure based on your provided dimensions and preferences.
Pool Screen Enclosure Cost Calculator
This calculator helps you estimate the cost of constructing a pool screen enclosure based on various parameters you input including the length, width, and height of the pool, the type of material you choose, and the labor cost.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the Length of your pool in feet.
- Enter the Width of your pool in feet.
- Enter the Height of the enclosure you desire in feet.
- Select the Material type which will fill in the cost per square foot automatically.
- Enter the Labor Cost per square foot.
- Click on the Calculate button to get the estimated total cost.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator computes the surface area by adding up the area of all sides of the enclosure (length x height and width x height) plus the top (length x width). It then multiplies this surface area by the chosen material cost per square foot and the given labor cost per square foot to arrive at the total estimated cost.
Limitations
- The calculator does not take into account any additional costs such as permit fees, taxes, or delivery charges.
- The estimate generated is based on the input parameters and might not reflect real-world costs.
- Ensure all input fields are filled with numerical values to avoid any calculation errors.
