Aluminum Pool Cages

Florida homeowners spend more time outdoors, poolside than almost anywhere else in the country, but bugs, debris, intense sun, and unpredictable weather can make pool areas difficult to enjoy without the right enclosure system.

We design and install custom aluminum pool cages built for Florida homes and outdoor living. Our pool enclosures help homeowners create cleaner, more comfortable pool areas while improving airflow, reducing maintenance, and adding long-term value to the property.

Why Choose Aluminum Pool Cages?

Built for Strength & Durability

Our pool cages are made from premium-grade aluminum — a rust-resistant, lightweight metal that stands up to Florida’s heat, humidity, and storms. Aluminum doesn’t warp, rot, or corrode, meaning your enclosure stays strong and beautiful for decades.

Weather-Resistant Design

We use powder-coated aluminum framing and stainless steel fasteners to withstand rain, salt air, and direct sunlight. Every structure is engineered for wind-load compliance under Florida Building Code, so you can enjoy total peace of mind.

Elegant & Customizable Designs

Every homeowner’s pool is different — so every cage we build is custom. Choose from modern, minimal styles or classic Florida designs, and add upgrades like decorative kickplates, trim, or Florida Glass panels for enhanced privacy.

Bug-Free, Breezy Comfort

Our high-quality screen mesh keeps mosquitoes, flies, and debris out while allowing airflow and sunlight in. You’ll enjoy natural light, clear views, and a comfortable swimming environment — without the pests.

Florida Glass Options for Privacy & Protection

What Is Florida Glass?

Florida Glass is a specialized laminated screen option that combines privacy, weather protection, and style. It features a standard 18x14 mesh with a durable laminate coating, blocking water, wind, and visibility from the outside.

Custom Privacy Solutions

You can add Florida Glass to select panels or enclose your entire pool cage for added seclusion. It’s perfect for pool decks, lounging spaces, or high-traffic areas, giving you privacy without sacrificing natural light.

Weather & Debris Protection

The laminate coating keeps rain, wind, and dirt out, meaning less cleaning and more time enjoying your pool. Florida Glass also protects furniture and flooring from UV exposure and moisture.

Direct From Our Contractor

One thing we commonly see in Florida is homeowners wanting more than just a basic pool enclosure. Many families are using their backyard as a full outdoor living space, which is why hybrid roof and screen enclosure combinations have become so popular.

For homeowners wanting more shade and heat reduction around seating or outdoor kitchen areas, insulated roof sections can make the space noticeably more comfortable while still keeping the pool area open and screened.

Choosing the Right Pool Cage Design for Your Home

Not every pool enclosure is designed the same. The right pool cage design often depends on your home’s architecture, the amount of shade you want, visibility preferences, and how you plan to use the outdoor space. At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we help homeowners compare enclosure styles based on both appearance and functionality to create a pool area that feels comfortable, open, and built for Florida living.

Hip Style Pool Cage Design

Hip-style screen enclosures feature a more open roof design that slopes upward toward a central peak. This design often creates a taller, more spacious feel around the pool area while improving visibility and allowing more natural light into the enclosure.

In our experience, homeowners who want a more modern or open outdoor living feel often prefer hip-style enclosures because of the additional height and architectural appearance.

Mansard Pool Cage Design

Mansard-style pool cages feature sloped sides with a flatter top section, creating a lower-profile appearance that blends well with many Florida homes. This style is popular for homeowners wanting a more traditional pool enclosure design while still maintaining strong airflow and visibility around the pool area.

Many homeowners choose mansard pool cages because they are cost-effective, functional, and complement a wide range of home styles throughout Brevard and Indian River County.

Hybrid Insulated Roof & Pool Screen Enclosures

For homeowners wanting both shade and open-air pool coverage, hybrid enclosure systems combine insulated aluminum roof panels with traditional screen enclosure sections. This allows part of the outdoor area — such as a patio, outdoor kitchen, or seating area — to remain shaded and cooler while still maintaining a screened enclosure over the pool.

Hybrid pool enclosure systems are especially popular for Florida homeowners who want to create a more functional outdoor living space that can be comfortably used throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is an aluminum pool cage?

An aluminum pool cage is a screened enclosure built around your pool area. It keeps out bugs, leaves, and debris while allowing sunlight and airflow. It’s a must-have for Florida homes, combining protection and luxury for your poolside space.

Why are aluminum pool cages popular in Florida?

Aluminum pool cages are ideal for Florida’s climate because they resist rust, stand up to humidity, and meet hurricane-rated wind standards. They provide shade, safety, and comfort while keeping maintenance low.

What’s the difference between a mansard and hip-style pool enclosure?

Mansard pool enclosures have a lower-profile design with angled sides and a flatter top, while hip-style enclosures feature a taller roofline that slopes upward toward the center. Many homeowners choose hip-style enclosures for a more open feel and added natural light, while mansard designs are often preferred for their traditional appearance and cost-effectiveness.

Do I need a permit for an aluminum pool cage in Brevard County?

Yes — most pool cage projects require engineering and county permitting. Our team manages the entire process, from drawing plans to final inspection, ensuring your cage meets all Florida Building Code standards.

How long does it take to install an aluminum pool cage?

Most installations take one to two weeks, depending on size and permitting. We’ll provide a clear schedule before starting and keep you updated throughout the project.

Will a pool cage make my backyard feel too enclosed?

Not usually. Most pool cages are designed to maintain airflow, visibility, and natural light while still helping keep bugs, debris, and leaves out of the pool area. Many homeowners feel pool enclosures actually make their outdoor space more usable and comfortable year-round.

What screen mesh is the best option for my pool cage?

The best screen mesh depends on your priorities. Standard mesh is popular for airflow and visibility, while tighter mesh options can help reduce smaller insects. Homeowners looking for added privacy or rain protection often choose Florida Glass panels for lower sections of the enclosure.
