How enclosed? Walls and doors? For that you need a contractor - and may need to start from scratch. Deck footings will not carry the load of the walls and roof.
If you just want a cover and screening, that you can easily do.
You could enclose the top by installing a special metal grid and installing the plastic type sheets to prevent the rain but also give you the light. Some of it is translucent but also stops the sun's rays. You need to, first, check your local building code to see if this is possible to do. It all depends on how solid you want the sides to be as there are many options.
