Custom pool and patio screen enclosures

We design and build new aluminum pool cages and patio enclosures for Southwest Florida homes. Each one is engineered for your home and your lot, not pulled from a catalog.

Pool cages and patio enclosures, built for your home and site

A pool enclosure has to fit the house it attaches to and the ground it stands on. We start every job at your home, where we measure the deck, look at the roofline and the site, and talk through how you use the space.

From there, the enclosure is designed and engineered for that home and that site. The same goes for a patio enclosure without a pool: it is sized to the slab and the house, so it looks like it belongs there.

Framing and frame colors

We build with premium aluminum framing, engineered for the size of the enclosure and the conditions at your site. The framing layout is part of the design, so we go over it with you before anything is ordered.

Frames come in two colors: Bronze and White. We talk through which one suits your house at the site visit.

Roof
Screen roof, or a solid insulated roof where it fits the plan

Materials: Phifer screening and 410 stainless fasteners

We install Phifer screening on our enclosures. The right screen for your cage depends on what matters most to you, whether that is a clear view, airflow, keeping out small insects, or privacy, and we talk that through at the site visit.

The frame is held together with 410 stainless steel fasteners. Fasteners are a small part of an enclosure, but they hold every joint together, which is why we use stainless.

Standard frame or ClearView?

A standard frame is the familiar pool cage layout. A ClearView or panoramic enclosure is designed to open up the view with fewer visual obstructions, where the engineering allows it.

If your pool looks out on water, a lake, or a preserve, ClearView is worth a look. If the view is a fence or a neighbor, a standard frame may be all you need. Our guide on ClearView vs. standard pool enclosures goes through the differences.

New-construction pool cages

Building a new pool? We build cages for new-construction pools.

Getting us out early lets us measure and plan the cage alongside the rest of the project, so the enclosure fits the finished pool and deck.

How a project runs

Most projects need a site visit and a custom estimate. Here's the path from the first call to a finished enclosure.

Common questions

What does a new pool enclosure cost, and what drives the price?
The price depends on the size and shape of the deck, the height of the cage, standard or ClearView framing, the roof, your screen choice, site conditions, and engineering and permits. We price every job after a free site visit, so the number fits your home. Our guide on what drives the cost of a pool enclosure covers each factor.
How long does it take from estimate to finished cage?
Your estimate covers the schedule for your job. The size of the build, engineering, and permits all play into it. Our guide on how a pool enclosure project runs walks through the steps.
Who handles engineering, permits, and HOA paperwork?
Every new pool enclosure is engineered for your home and site and needs a building permit. We go over the engineering, permit, and HOA steps for your job at the estimate, so you know what is needed before work starts. See permits, engineering, and HOA approval for more.
Should I choose a standard frame or ClearView?
Choose ClearView when the view is the point, such as water, a lake, or a preserve, and the engineering allows it. A standard frame suits yards where the view matters less. We can show you both options at the site visit.
Which screen should I choose?
It depends on what you want most from the space: visibility, airflow, protection from small insects, or privacy. We install Phifer screening and help you weigh those trade-offs at the site visit. Our guide on choosing pool cage screen explains the basics.
Do you build cages for new-construction pools?
Yes. We build enclosures for new-construction pools. Call us while the pool is being planned or built, and we will come out to measure.
