The name pool cage starts to make sense when you realize your screen enclosure really feels like a cage with the number of vertical posts that disrupt the outdoor views.

Our clients in Bonita Springs had a large pool cage, but the structure made the space seem small and they can feel cramped inside. The area outside their enclosure had lots of trees and other green plants, and it would’ve been a waste not to be able to appreciate them with the pool cage blocking the view.

They called us to perform our restoration service including a picture window conversion.

We converted all existing screen walls into a clear view picture window with new vertical posts and added a kickplate to prevent dirt from accumulating on the ground around their enclosure, especially when it rains. We also upgraded the doors to have a phat frame. 

In the process, we eliminated the flaws of a prefabricated screen enclosure.

As a restoration and clearview conversion in one project, we also replaced all fasteners, re-screened the entire enclosure, and repainted their enclosure with a fresh coat of bronze color. Our clients got the full transformation (almost like a new enclosure all together) for a fraction of the cost!

And that explains the smiles on our clients’ faces.
