Pool Enclosure Color - Bronze or White

7 years ago

Putting in a pool but lots of trees, mosquitos, wildlife means I must have a screen enclosure. Because all the trim, windows, doors, existing screened patio on my house are white I was leaning towards a white pool cage. But everyone is telling me bronze is the way to go because visually it disappears against the wooded jungle type landscape and the view won't be as obstructed as it would with a white cage. Also the bronze cage hides dirt, leaves, mold, mildew, lichens, all problems in shaded humid conditions. I'm worried that a white cage will be a maintenance nightmare as I will probably be compelled to try to keep it clean. I think adding a bronze cage to white existing screened area will drive me crazy - everyone says I'll get used to it. Replacing all screened areas with bronze will be an extra expense but at least all will match...except for with the rest of my house which is all white trim. I've scoured the internet for examples of bronze and white together but haven't found any. Having trouble visualizing. Too expensive to make a mistake that I hate for the rest of my life (like I did with my granite). I need advice...white or bronze? I'll post photos later.
