This is a very important question for you to ask yourself right at the very beginning of considering where to purchase your swimming pool enclosure. And the answer is that it all depends upon the brand of swimming pool enclosure and the supplier.
Some suppliers of swimming pool enclosures arrange for the delivery of the enclosure to the property that it is to be installed on but require you to install it yourself. Other suppliers both deliver and install the swimming pool enclosure for you. Clearly, if at all possible, it is important for you to have the supplier assume the responsibility for installing the enclosure for you so that you can be sure that the installation has been properly conducted and completed. Make sure that the supplier warrants that they will install the swimming pool enclosure properly. The supplier then takes on the full responsibility of ensuring that your enclosure is undamaged and in full working order when you first use it. The alternative could bring you a range of problems and headaches you don’t deserve to have.
There are some brands of swimming pool enclosure that are manufactured in other countries and imported. By necessity, they are usually available in more limited, pre-determined sizes. Most suppliers of such enclosures are not the manufacturer and they often won’t conduct the installation for you. It is simply more convenient for them to act as an importer and seller of a limited range of enclosures and let you be the do-it-yourself guy. While this may be attractive for some people, it is appropriate that you view your swimming pool enclosure as the valuable addition to your home that it is and be as certain as possible that the installation is 100 percent complete and guaranteed.
If the supplier of your swimming pool enclosure is also the manufacturer, there is a greater chance that the supplier will conduct the installation themselves, or alternatively arrange for a trained sub-contractor to conduct the installation on their behalf. The manufacturer/supplier will then have a vested interest in ensuring everything happens as smoothly as possible. There may possibly be potential issues associated with the proposed size and location of your enclosure. A reliable manufacturer/supplier will, where possible, wish to visit your intended enclosure location prior to finalising your purchase to ensure not only that your purchase matches the most appropriate swimming pool enclosure for the location and your specific needs but also that they can anticipate any potential complications with the installation of the enclosure. Your manufacturer/supplier will be much more likely to then give you a comprehensive warranty that covers both the product they supply and their installation.
Make sure you get to enjoy the many benefits of your swimming pool enclosure without any hassles right from the very beginning.
Footnote: For some installation locations having the most difficult access, the supplier may require that the purchaser assumes some of the responsibility for gaining access to the specified location in order to deliver the enclosure and to carry out the installation. If this is a likely scenario for you, make sure you discuss this matter with your manufacturer/supplier.
