A pool enclosure can make a Florida outdoor space more comfortable, usable and easier to enjoy throughout the year. A well-built pool cage helps keep insects, leaves and palm fronds out of the water and turns the pool deck into a true outdoor living room. For many Sarasota homeowners, a swimming pool screen enclosure is the difference between a pool that gets used every day and one that mostly gets cleaned.
We design and build new pool enclosures for homes throughout Sarasota and the surrounding area. Whether you are adding a pool cage to a newly built pool, screening an existing pool for the first time, or planning an enclosure as part of a larger backyard renovation, our focus is a structure that looks intentional, fits the architecture of the home and holds up to Gulf Coast weather.
What goes into a new pool cage
Every swimming pool cage is planned around its property. The footprint follows the pool and deck, the height relates to the home's roofline, and the roof profile shapes the overall character. Pool cage construction starts with a free estimate, where we look at how the enclosure will attach to the house, and talk about the views and light you want to preserve.
- Frame design. The enclosure structure is planned around the pool area, surrounding deck, desired height and overall architectural layout.
- Roof profile. Pool enclosure roof configurations can vary based on the home, pool layout and project design. Appropriate options can be discussed during planning.
- Doors and access. Entry locations and access points should be considered around everyday traffic, pool equipment and the way the outdoor space is used.
- Screen selection. Choices for a new enclosure include standard screening as well as no-see-um, privacy, solar and pet-resistant screening. The appropriate choice depends on visibility, airflow, insect protection and how the enclosure will be used.
- Frame finish. White and bronze frame finishes are available so the enclosure can better complement the home and surrounding outdoor area.
Planning and installing a new pool cage
Pool cage installation varies with the layout of the pool, deck, home and enclosure design. Structural framing, screening, access points and connection details are planned around the specific property and the approved project design. Requirements and timelines can vary by project, location, weather and any applicable permitting requirements.
Why Sarasota homes rely on pool screen enclosures
Sarasota's climate makes outdoor living possible almost year-round, but it also brings strong sun, frequent insects and summer storms. A pool screen enclosure handles much of that. It helps keep mosquitoes outside and oak leaves and palm debris out of the skimmer. Specialty screening may offer different levels of visibility or sun control, depending on the options available for the project. The result is a swimming pool enclosure you can step into any time of day.
Pool enclosures also create a defined, finished outdoor room. Many homeowners add outdoor kitchens, dining areas and lounge seating under the cage, and the enclosure ties those spaces together visually.
Who a new pool enclosure is right for
A new pool cage is a strong fit if you have a pool that has never been screened, a new pool being built, or a backyard renovation where the pool area is being redesigned. It is also a good fit if you want a taller, cleaner or more modern screened enclosure than what is common in your neighborhood. If you already have an enclosure and the frame is showing its age, read about full pool cage replacement as an alternative.
Choosing among pool cage contractors
When comparing pool cage companies and pool cage builders, ask how the enclosure will attach to your home, what screen options are included, how doors will be placed and how the project is scheduled. A good contractor will explain those details plainly. We are licensed and insured, we offer free estimates, and we are happy to walk you through every part of the design before work begins.
