At a glance

Who builds these enclosures in San Diego County?

Mulholland Brand, with a San Diego office in Carlsbad, builds custom powder-coated aluminum pool equipment enclosures, measured on site and installed by our own crew, including a Hi-Tech enclosure that matches our Hi-Tech gates, fencing and pergolas.

That is the whole answer. You do not need to call around asking whether someone "might" take a small job. Enclosures for pool and spa equipment are a product we make. Our Carlsbad office is the local contact point for homeowners from the city of San Diego up through North County. We serve all of San Diego County, so a pad in Carlsbad, Encinitas, Rancho Bernardo or any other San Diego neighborhood goes through the same process.

One team handles the job from start to finish:

The person who measures your pad and the people who build and install your enclosure all work for us. The written price you receive is for the configuration we measured.

Where the pool pad sits, and why it bothers you

Mulholland Brand builds each enclosure around the pad you actually have. Whether the house is in Encinitas or Rancho Bernardo, that pad tends to end up in one of a few awkward places:

None of these spots is a mistake. The equipment has to live somewhere near the pool, and many lots leave little room to choose. The result is the same either way: a yard you put real money and thought into has a cluster of tanks and equipment in the middle of the view, plus a motor that runs for much of the day.

An enclosure deals with both problems. It screens the pump, filter and heater so the pad stops being the focal point, and our enclosures cut down pump noise. We build each one to fit around the equipment on your pad.

Coast or inland: why powder-coated aluminum suits San Diego yards

Mulholland Brand enclosures are made from marine-grade aluminum with an electrostatic powder coat, applied in our own powder coating facility. The result is a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up to Southern California sun and salt air.

San Diego County puts two kinds of stress on anything built outdoors, and the same material handles both.

North County coast: Carlsbad and Encinitas

Close to the ocean, the air carries salt, and anything beside a pool sits in damp, salty air year after year. Powder-coated aluminum does not rust like iron or steel, which is why it makes sense for a coastal pad. If you are planning more than the enclosure, we have a separate piece on building for salt air along the Carlsbad and Encinitas coast.

Inland: Rancho Bernardo and beyond

Away from the coast, the bigger concern is strong sun. Our finish holds up to Southern California sun, and powder-coated aluminum does not rot or warp. It needs no repainting or staining, so you will not be re-staining a screen every few seasons, and it will not slowly twist out of line beside your equipment.

What upkeep looks like

Upkeep is the same on the coast and inland: a fresh-water rinse and a check of the hardware. There is nothing to repaint or stain, which matters for a structure that sits next to equipment you would rather not think about.

Built to your pad: measurement, quote, factory, crew

Mulholland Brand custom-measures every enclosure on site and builds it to fit the property. No two pads are quite alike, and a box that almost fits is still a box that does not fit.

The measurement visit

Our team measures the property's terrain, slope and openings on site before designing anything. On a pool job, that means the pad, the ground around it and the openings nearby. You can walk the yard with our team and raise anything that affects the design. The checklist further down covers what to bring up.

The itemized written quote

The quote comes after the measurement as an itemized written price for the exact configuration we measured. It is in writing, broken into its parts, and written for your pad. You do not get a rough figure for a generic size.

Fabrication in Canoga Park

Once you approve the design, we build the enclosure in our own factory. Our products are designed and manufactured in-house from powder-coated aluminum, and each one is cut, welded, powder-coated and finished at our Canoga Park facility. For background on the material before your visit, our education center has a piece on aluminum equipment enclosures.

Installation by our own crew

We bring the enclosure to your home in San Diego County, and our own W-2 employees install it. The crew on your pad works for us, the same team that measured your yard and built your enclosure.

If your pool is still on paper

Not every homeowner has a pad yet. If your new pool is still being drawn, we can fabricate the enclosure to your architect's or builder's drawing. That way the equipment screen is planned as part of the yard from the beginning, instead of something you solve after the pool is finished.

Matching the rest of the yard

Mulholland Brand's Hi-Tech enclosure matches our Hi-Tech gates, fencing and pergolas, so the pool pad can read as part of one design with everything around it instead of an afterthought.

This is where a utility job becomes a yard upgrade. Look at your property from the street and from the patio. You probably see a driveway gate, a walk gate at the side of the house, a fence line, and maybe a pergola over the seating area. If those pieces are Hi-Tech, or you are planning them that way, the Hi-Tech enclosure carries the same look back to the pad.

Here is how the pieces fit together:

You do not have to do it all at once. At the measurement, mention any gate, fence or pergola you have been considering so the design takes the whole yard into account. We show finishes at full size in our Canoga Park showroom, and our inspiration gallery has ideas for how the pieces look together.

Questions to raise at the measurement

Mulholland Brand gives you an itemized written price after the on-site measurement, so the visit is the time to settle the details that shape your design. A little homework beforehand makes it more useful. Answer these for yourself, or raise them with us in person:

With those answers ready, we can measure and quote with everything in front of us, and the written price will reflect your actual pad.

Common questions about pool equipment enclosures

Who builds pool equipment enclosures in San Diego County?

Mulholland Brand builds custom pool equipment enclosures in powder-coated aluminum that screen pool and spa equipment and cut down pump noise. We serve all of San Diego County from our San Diego office in Carlsbad. Each enclosure is measured on site, made in-house at our Canoga Park factory and installed by our own crew. Call us for an on-site measurement and an itemized written quote.

Will an aluminum enclosure hold up near the coast in Carlsbad or Encinitas?

Mulholland Brand uses marine-grade aluminum with an electrostatic powder coat applied in our own powder coating facility. The corrosion-resistant finish holds up to Southern California sun and salt air. Powder-coated aluminum does not rust like iron or steel, rot or warp, and upkeep is a fresh-water rinse and a check of the hardware.

Will an enclosure make my pump quieter?

Mulholland Brand enclosures for pool and spa equipment cut down pump noise. They also screen the pad from view, which helps when your equipment sits beside a patio or under a bedroom window.

Can the enclosure match my driveway gate, fence or pergola?

Yes. Mulholland Brand's Hi-Tech enclosure matches our Hi-Tech gates, fencing and pergolas. We also design the driveway gate, walk gate and fence together as one package in one finish, so the pad can look like part of the same yard.

What happens at the measurement visit?

The Mulholland Brand team measures your property's terrain, slope and openings on site before designing the enclosure. After the visit, you receive an itemized written price for the exact configuration we measured.

Can an enclosure be planned for a pool that is still being designed?

Yes. Mulholland Brand can fabricate the enclosure to your architect's or builder's drawing, so the equipment screen is planned with the rest of the yard instead of added later.
