Before & After: Pool Cage Replacement in Punta Gorda, FL
This project in Punta Gorda, FL, began with an older pool cage that had been damaged over time. The homeowner decided it was the right moment to replace it with a stronger and more modern structure. The goal was to create a new enclosure with a wide picture view wall that would open up the backyard, while also ensuring durability and minimal maintenance for the years ahead.
Project goals
The main request was to build a new pool cage with a 60-foot picture view wall. Creating a single picture view panel of that size is technically very difficult and not practical. If the screen were ever damaged, the entire 60-foot section would have to be replaced, making it risky and costly. To address this, we suggested dividing the wall into smaller sections. The homeowner chose a solution with one large 40-foot center panel and two 10-foot side panels. This approach kept the view wide and open while ensuring the structure remained practical and easier to maintain.
