This week, we gave new life to an old enclosure with moldy frames and rusty fasteners. After our client saw our enclosure restoration projects on Facebook, they hired us to make their pool cage look new again.

This is what their old enclosure looked like. It had moldy frames, fading paint, rusty fasteners, and stains all over the structure. To make it look brand new again, they availed our Lifetime Restoration Package, which includes rescreening, repainting, and replacing the fasteners with better materials and longer warranty.

When we got to their home, the first thing we did was cover the pool and deck area with plastic. Next, we remove the screens so that we can replace the fasteners and paint the frames. For the fasteners, we used Nylotec, which is a durable model that comes with a 10-year warranty.

We then repainted the structure and this area with Hi-solid Polyurethane. It has an electrostatic charge and is more efficient to use on metal surfaces. Lastly, we replaced all panels with Superscreen 14/16. This mesh can be used on large opening and is durable enough to withstand strong gusts of winds without tearing.

This is the result of our restoration process. Doesn’t it look brand new again? We completed this project in two weeks. Our client is glad that they have a durable pool cage that won’t need an upgrade for a long time.
