Screen enclosures

Pool cages in Sarasota and Manatee counties

A pool cage is a screen enclosure built over your pool and deck. Shore Home designs, permits and builds new pool cages for homes in Sarasota and Manatee counties, in standard, mansard, dome and panoramic styles, with the frame color and screen type you choose. The goal is a cage that looks clean, meets code and lets you use the pool year round.

What we build

  • New pool cages for existing pools
  • Standard, mansard, dome and panoramic roof styles
  • Black, bronze, white and other frame colors
  • Standard, no-see-um and pet-resistant screen
  • Screen doors placed where you walk
  • Engineering, permit and inspections

What goes into a pool cage

Every pool cage starts with measurements of the deck, the house roof line and where the cage can anchor. From those we get engineered drawings, then the permit. Once approved, the crew sets the footings or anchors, raises the aluminum frame, screens it and installs the doors. An inspector signs off on the finished cage.

Frame and screen choices

Frame color changes the look more than anything else: dark frames make the cage seem to disappear. Screen choice changes how it feels: standard pool screen for airflow, no-see-um screen for small insects, and heavier pet screen on lower panels if dogs or cats share the space.

Replacing an old cage?

If you already have a cage that is rusting, sagging or storm damaged, see screen enclosure replacement.

About our reviews

Pool cages: common questions

Which pool cage roof style should I choose?

A mansard or hip roof is a common, practical choice that matches many homes. Dome styles give more height over the pool. Panoramic designs remove the horizontal beam for a more open view. The right choice depends on your roof line, your view and your budget, and we sketch options at the estimate.

What is no-see-um screen?

It is a tighter mesh that keeps out tiny biting insects that pass through standard pool screen. It is popular near water and preserves. It lets a little less air and light through than standard screen, so some homeowners use it only on the walls.

Does a pool cage help with pool maintenance?

Yes. It keeps out most leaves, palm debris and bugs, so the pool needs less skimming and the filter works less. It does not remove the need for regular pool care.
