Installing a pool enclosure costs $12,055 on average, with most homeowners spending $6,944 to $18,831, according to Angi (updated September 2026)1. HomeAdvisor – corporate sibling publishing matching figures, which alone do not establish independent corroboration – reports the same $12,055 average and $6,944 to $18,831 normal range, with project totals from $910 for basic covers upward depending on cover type and pool size (updated June 2026)2. Fixr, an unaffiliated publisher, puts the national average at $18,000 for a defined build – a polycarbonate enclosure tall enough to walk beneath that also encloses the pool deck – within a $10,000 to $30,000 range, from $5,000 for a screen enclosure covering only the pool (updated January 2025)3. The averages carry different stated scopes, and no conclusion about the gap follows.
Cost per square foot by material
All three publishers state the same per-square-foot ranges by material123; these are separately published figures at Angi and Fixr (Angi and HomeAdvisor are corporate siblings), and the pages state no shared sourcing. HomeAdvisor also prices a typical 700-square-foot pool2:
| Material | Per sq ft (all 3 publishers) | HomeAdvisor 700-sq-ft total (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | $8 – $15 | $5,600 – $10,500 |
| Polycarbonate | $20 – $200 | $14,000 – $140,000 |
| Glass | $30 – $75 | $21,000 – $52,500 |
Retractable-enclosure pricing is omitted: HomeAdvisor states two conflicting high-end retractable figures, and Fixr's headline retractable figure conflicts with its own design table. Fixr's summary also states a stationary glass/polycarbonate range that conflicts with its own material table; it is omitted. HomeAdvisor prices manual low-profile retractable covers – a separate product from motorized enclosures – from $3,0002.
Cost by height
| Height | Angi/HomeAdvisor per sq ft (2026) | Fixr per sq ft (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Low (covers only the pool) | $24 – $75 | $25 – $75 |
| Medium (most common) | $8 – $100 | $8 – $100 |
| High (full ceiling height) | $15 – $200 | $15 – $200 |
The low-height figures diverge slightly between the publishers; the pages state no shared sourcing, and no conclusion about the gap follows.
Cost by design
| Design | Angi/HomeAdvisor (2026) | Fixr (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Domed | $870 – $1,500 (avg $1,200) | $500 – $200,000 |
| Screened dome (above-ground) | – | $500 – $5,000 |
| Lean-to (attached) | $5,000 – $20,000 | $5,000 – $20,000 |
| Shed roof | – | $8,000 – $30,000 |
| Gable roof | – | $8,000 – $30,000 |
| Hip roof | – | $10,000 – $30,000 |
| Mansard roof | – | $10,000 – $50,000 |
| Custom | $20,000 – $200,000 | – |
| Retractable | omitted (conflicting figures) | omitted (conflicting figures) |
The publishers' domed figures diverge widely; the pages state no shared sourcing, and no conclusion about the gap follows. Fixr's custom-enclosure figure conflicts within its own page and is omitted. Angi prices freestanding enclosures at $5,000 to $20,000, attached enclosures at $5,000 to $50,000, and portable freestanding models at $750 to $7,5001. Fixr prices above-ground dome enclosures at $400 to $1,200, vinyl enclosures from $500, and inflatable domes from $4003.
Doors
All three publishers state the same door prices123; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing. A standard pool cover – a simpler alternative – starts at $1001:
| Door type | Average cost (all 3 publishers) |
|---|---|
| Screen door | $50 – $500 |
| Storm door | $100 – $1,000 |
| Doggy door | $150 – $500 |
Kits
HomeAdvisor puts pool enclosure kits at $3,900 on average: above-ground pool kits start at $600, all-vinyl in-ground kits run up to $6,100, and high-end telescopic polycarbonate kits reach $15,0002. Angi prices kits at $600 to $15,000 for materials only, with labor not included1. Fixr prices a roughly 6-by-100-foot Florida Glass kit at about $600 without installation3.
Labor
All three publishers report labor at about $35 per hour for screen and polycarbonate enclosures and $50 per hour for glass123; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing. Fixr notes most enclosure companies roll labor into the enclosure price3. HomeAdvisor adds that painting during installation costs an additional $1.75 per square foot2.
Brands
Angi and Fixr publish matching brand pricing13; these are separately published figures, and the pages state no shared sourcing:
| Brand | Cost per sq ft (Angi and Fixr) |
|---|---|
| Libart | $75 – $200 |
| DynaDome | $75 – $200 |
| Roll-a-Cover | $80 – $120 |

The publishers' HVAC and privacy-shade figures diverge across units and scopes; the pages state no shared sourcing, and no conclusion about the gaps follows.
