This is a mansard cage....versus a flat top.
I have an inground spa in my cage, came with the house.
It's not a lot of work for me, hubby takes care of keeping the right chemical balance.....
T&D will test your water for free if you bring in a sample and provide advice on what chemicals you might need to add. Imagine having a pool would be a little bit more work than a spa, but not too difficult in keeping clean since it's in a cage. No leaves blowing into the water. If it's more than you want to do, pool services are available for care and maintenance.
Coming from an area that doesn't allow as much outdoor time as you get here, you'll enjoy your lanai quite a bit.
