It’s one thing to get your pool cage restored, it’s another to get it completely rebuilt with a better overall appearance.

With the summer quickly approaching when our client in Cape Coral first called us, they opted for a project that would completely transform their pool enclosure. Not only did they want a white to bronze paint change or a standalone clearview conversion, they wanted to have the entire pool cage replaced.

If your pool cage is old and has been around for at least a dozen years, it’s definitely wise to get the entire thing upgraded. Apart from having a more modern screen enclosure, the new structure will be updated to the current building code, which makes your enclosure safer since it’s sturdier against extreme weather conditions.

We first had to obtain a permit to build the new enclosure, which even with all the work ahead, is the most time-consuming part of the project.

We then proceeded to install 7” Super Gutter at the junction where the roof and the screen enclosure meet.

The new aluminum structure was engineered in our facility with site specific laser cut and leveling. This includes 2 clearview doors.

The roof is a half mansard type, which is currently our most popular offer for new enclosures. During installation, we used strong fasteners and tapcons to enforce the strength of the enclosure.

Then, we screened it in with Superscreen 14/17 with a 10-year warranty.

Now they have a clearview enclosure that gives them a full view of the back of their home while getting protection from bugs and small animals that can get into their pool.
