85°….I wish…it’s 114° here right now. Unshaded pools are unusable for many summer months, even at night, without a refrigeration system. But, in the winter, they need solar gain to reduce heating bills. Not a good plan for a permanent cover.

Pools get bathwater hot here and nocturnal solar cooling is a hopeless proposition when it's 85F ambient and 95% humidity at night. That said - I totally agree. Bad idea.

A screen cage over a pool typically drops the temperature a minimum of 5 to 10 F depending on how wide the weave of the screen AND how clean you keep the screen , a totally closed enclosure also has to deal with condensation.
