How Much Does It Cost To Put a Screen Around a Pool?

The Cost Breakdown of Screening Around Your Pool

Relaxing by your pool should be enjoyable — not interrupted by mosquitoes, falling debris, or unpredictable Florida weather. That’s why pool screen enclosures are one of the most popular upgrades for Florida homeowners.

A common question we hear is:

How much does it cost to screen around a pool?

How Much Does It Cost to Screen Around a Pool?

In Florida, the average cost to screen around a pool typically ranges from $8,000 to $12,000 for a standard-sized pool using quality materials.

Larger pools, custom designs, premium screens, or added features can increase costs to $14,000–$20,000 or more.

What Factors Affect the Cost of Pool Screen Enclosures?

Several key factors influence the final price of your enclosure.

1. Pool Size & Shape

The size and shape of your pool determine:

  • The amount of aluminum framing required
  • Screen material quantity
  • Labor time

Irregular shapes or oversized pools require additional materials and labor.

2. Screen Material Selection

Your choice of screen material impacts both price and performance.

Common options include:

  • Standard fiberglass screens: Cost-effective and durable
  • No-see-um screens: Extra protection from tiny insects
  • Pet-resistant screens: Thicker, longer-lasting material

Premium screens cost more upfront but often last longer.

3. Enclosure Height & Design Complexity

  • Standard-height enclosures are more budget-friendly
  • Taller enclosures require more framing and screening
  • Multiple roof lines or angles increase installation complexity

Custom designs typically raise overall costs.

4. Location & Local Building Requirements

Costs can vary based on:

  • Labor rates in your area
  • Permit fees
  • Wind-load requirements

Florida building codes require enclosures to meet strict safety standards, which impacts pricing.

Why Quality Materials Matter

A pool screen enclosure is only as strong as the materials used.

At Lafferty Aluminum & Screening, we use industry-leading materials designed for Florida conditions.

Standard Fiberglass Screens

  • Clear visibility
  • Excellent airflow
  • Strong resistance to corrosion

Premium Screen Options

  • No-see-um screens for insect control
  • Specialty screens for enhanced durability

Higher-quality materials reduce future repairs and extend enclosure lifespan.

Professional Installation Makes the Difference

Expert installation ensures:

  • Accurate measurements
  • Proper screen tension
  • Secure aluminum framing
  • Code-compliant construction

Improper installation can lead to sagging screens, storm damage, and costly repairs.
