Older pool cages can show their age over time from sun, moisture, salt air and storm exposure, especially along the Gulf Coast. In some cases, the existing enclosure may also no longer fit the way the homeowner wants to use the pool area. Full pool cage replacement removes the existing structure and builds a new enclosure in its place, planned around how you want to use your pool area now.
When replacement is the right call
Not every tired-looking enclosure needs to be replaced. If the frame is sound and only the screen is worn, full rescreening may be the more appropriate option. Replacement may make sense in situations like these:
- The aluminum frame shows significant age and you would rather start fresh than keep investing in it.
- You are remodeling the pool, deck or back of the home and want the enclosure to match the new design.
- The existing cage makes the space feel enclosed or no longer suits the pool area.
- You want a new enclosure layout or appearance that better fits the pool area and the way you use the space.
- The current layout no longer suits how you use the space, such as door placement or an outdoor kitchen.
During your free estimate, you can talk through your existing enclosure and whether full rescreening or full replacement may be the more appropriate direction.
What a replacement project includes
A full pool cage replacement begins with reviewing the existing enclosure, pool area and project goals. The old enclosure is removed and a new enclosure is planned for the space. Design details, screening, access points and applicable project requirements vary by property.
Planning your new enclosure
- Enclosure layout. Consider how the new enclosure fits the pool, deck and surrounding home.
- Frame design. The framing layout can be planned around the structure and desired visual openness, in a white or bronze finish.
- Screen selection. When planning the replacement, no-see-um, privacy, solar and pet-resistant screening can be considered alongside standard screen.
- Doors and access. Entry locations should work with the way people move between the home, yard, deck and pool area.
Built for Sarasota conditions
A replacement enclosure is planned and built to applicable requirements at the time of construction. That matters along the Gulf Coast, where sun, humidity, wind and storm activity are part of life, and it is one reason some homeowners consider replacement when an existing enclosure is showing its age.
Who pool cage replacement is suited for
Replacement is a strong fit for homeowners with an older enclosure they plan to enjoy for years to come, buyers who have purchased a home with a dated cage, and anyone renovating their pool area.
