About new screened pool enclosures
A screened pool enclosure, often called a pool cage, is an aluminum frame with screen panels that covers your pool and deck. In Southwest Florida it is close to standard equipment: it keeps mosquitoes, no-see-ums, leaves and debris out of the water, cuts down on cleaning and chemicals, and gives you a shaded, private space you can use for most of the year.
Roof styles you can choose
- Mansard: a flat top with sloped sides. Popular because it gives plenty of headroom and works with most rooflines.
- Gable: a peaked, A-frame roof that can match the shape of your home and lets heat rise away from the deck.
- Hip: slopes on all sides for a lower, cleaner profile.
- Dome or custom shapes: curved or extra-tall designs for larger pools, waterfront lots and two-story homes.
- Low-post or panoramic: fewer vertical posts and wider screen panels for a more open view. More about panoramic enclosures.
Frame colors and screen choices
- Frames usually come in white or bronze. Bronze and darker finishes tend to disappear into the view; white matches many older Florida homes.
- Standard pool and patio screen is the most common choice for walls and roofs.
- Finer no-see-um mesh keeps out tiny biting insects, which matters near ponds, mangroves and preserves.
- Heavier-duty or pet-resistant screen is often used on lower panels where kids, dogs and furniture rub the screen.
- Privacy or solar screen can be used on selected walls for shade or to block a neighbor’s view.
What affects the price of a new pool cage
- The footprint and height of the enclosure, and the roof style.
- Whether it attaches to your house, a lanai roof or stands on its own.
- Your deck and footings: an old or cracked deck may need work before a cage can be anchored.
- Wind-load requirements for your exact location. Coastal and higher-exposure areas usually need a stronger design.
- Screen type, frame color, doors, kick plates and extras like lighting or gutters.
- Permits, engineering and HOA approval.

Common questions
Do I need a permit for a screened pool enclosure in Florida?
Yes. New pool enclosures in Florida generally need a building permit and must be designed for the wind loads that apply to your address. A licensed installer normally handles the drawings and permit application. Many neighborhoods also require HOA approval before work starts.
How long does it take to build a new pool cage?
The building itself often takes only a few days. Most of the wait is for engineering, permits, HOA approval and material lead times, which can add several weeks. Ask the installer for a realistic start date when you get your quote.
Can a pool enclosure be added to an existing pool?
Usually, yes. The installer will check your deck, footings and the space around the pool. If the deck is cracked or too thin, it may need repair or new footers first.
Will a screen enclosure survive a hurricane?
A properly permitted enclosure is built to the wind loads required for your area, but very strong storms can still damage screens and frames. Many homeowners cut screen panels or follow the installer’s storm advice before a major hurricane. See our storm damage page.
