Frequently asked questions

Does the NailIt estimate include labor costs?

No. NailIt calculates materials only. Since you're doing the work yourself, we show exactly what you'll spend on aluminum, screening, hardware, and sealants—nothing else.

What size pool enclosure does the estimate cover?

The cost range ($2,800–$8,500) covers a standard residential pool enclosure (15'×30' to 20'×40'). Larger or custom designs will be higher; smaller enclosures, lower. Use NailIt's tool to adjust for your exact dimensions.

Can I really install a pool enclosure myself?

Yes, with proper planning and tools. Most DIYers with intermediate skills can handle framing, screening, and fastening. Some local codes may require permits or inspections, but the actual installation work is owner-doable and is where you save the most money.
