Before & After: Pool Cage Replacement in Punta Gorda, FL
See how a worn-out Punta Gorda pool cage became a stronger, more open enclosure, with a wide picture view wall and low-maintenance durability built for the years ahead.
Introduction
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.
Project stages
We began with a complimentary visit to the property, measured the existing area, and discussed design preferences with the homeowner.
Our team prepared drawings with different layout options for the picture view wall. After reviewing these together, the client approved the version with a 40-foot center and two 10-foot sides.
To ensure a smooth process, we took care of the required permits and paperwork, saving the homeowner both time and stress.
The old structure was removed, and we built the new enclosure with reinforced framing and support cables to improve durability and wind resistance.
Throughout the project, we kept communication open and clear. Once the installation was complete, the homeowner expressed great satisfaction with the result.
