About pool cage rescreening
Florida sun, salt air and summer storms are hard on screen. Over time the mesh fades, turns brittle, sags and starts to tear, and the rubber spline that holds it in place shrinks and pops out. A full rescreen replaces every panel on the walls and roof with new screen and spline, which can make an older frame look and work like new. Many installers recommend checking the frame at the same time, because tightening or replacing screws and fixing small issues is easiest when the screens are off.
Signs it is time to rescreen
- Several torn or loose panels, especially on the roof.
- Screen that is faded, chalky or brittle to the touch.
- Spline pulling out of the channels around the edges.
- Leaves, bugs and lizards getting inside even with the doors closed.
- Panels that rattle or flap in the wind.
Screen options for a rescreen
- Standard pool and patio mesh: the most common choice.
- No-see-um mesh: a tighter weave for areas with tiny biting insects.
- Heavy-duty or pet-resistant mesh for lower panels.
- Privacy or solar screen for walls where you want more shade or less visibility.
- Many homeowners mix screen types: heavy-duty below the chair rail, standard above.
What affects a rescreening quote
- Total square footage of walls and roof.
- Height and roof style, since tall roofs take more time and safety equipment.
- The screen type you choose.
- Frame condition: loose screws, corrosion or bent members add work.
- Whether doors, kick plates or gutters also need attention.

Common questions
How long do pool cage screens last in Florida?
It varies with sun exposure, salt air, storms, pets and the type of screen, but many Southwest Florida homeowners rescreen every several years to roughly a decade. Roof panels usually wear out first because they get the most sun.
Can I rescreen only part of my cage?
Yes. Many installers will replace just the roof, just the walls or individual panels. If most panels are old, a full rescreen often looks better and costs less per panel.
How long does a full rescreen take?
A typical residential rescreen often takes one to a few days depending on size, height and weather.
Do I need a permit to rescreen?
Rescreening alone usually does not need a permit, but rules vary by city and county, and frame repairs may. Your installer will know local requirements.
