Patio Screen Cage (Project #4384) – Agostino Way, Ave Maria, FL
Ave Maria
June 10, 2026
645 sq. ft.
This Ave Maria patio screen cage covers 645 sq. ft. under a gable roof that rises to 12.5 ft. The bronze aluminum frame carries regular mesh screen across the walls and roof, and one access door provides entry to the screened space. The enclosure was built on an existing patio and completed on June 10, 2026. The permit stage took 3 weeks, and the build took 2 weeks.
Project Overview
At the Agostino Way home in Ave Maria, the homeowners wanted a patio they could use without insects and debris. Project #4384 added a bronze aluminum patio screen cage with a gable roof over a recorded area of 645 sq. ft. The structure stands 12.5 ft high, which gives the screened patio generous headroom.
The frame is bronze aluminum, so the posts, beams, and roof members share one consistent finish. Regular mesh screen covers the walls and the roof, protecting the patio from insects and windblown debris while keeping airflow and daylight in the space. The gable roof gives the cage a pitched profile above the patio.
One access door provides entry to the enclosed patio. Project photos record the main stages of the build: the gable frame going up, the anchor bolt detail at the base, and the roof and wall screen installation. Together they show how the frame, screen, and door came together on site.
A patio cage works best when its size, height, and screen type match how the family uses the space. Regular mesh is a practical choice for keeping insects out while preserving the view from inside. Every property needs its own measurements and estimate, so the figures here describe this installation only.

How We Did It
Project #4384 followed the complete design-build sequence for a patio screen cage in Ave Maria. After an on-site consultation and measurements, the team confirmed a bronze aluminum frame with regular mesh screen, a gable roof, and one access door for a 645 sq. ft. patio with a 12.5 ft height. Permitting took 3 weeks, followed by material preparation and a 2-week installation. The work was completed on June 10, 2026, and the finished cage moved into warranty and ongoing company support. The six stages below describe how the planning, materials, and construction came together for this screened patio.
Our specialist visited the Ave Maria property to evaluate the existing patio, the planned footprint of the cage, and the surrounding yard. Measurements were taken for the 645 sq. ft. cage at a height of 12.5 ft. During this stage, the homeowners selected the bronze aluminum finish, regular mesh screen, gable roof design, and one access door. After the scope, materials, pricing of about $12,000, and timeline were confirmed, the contract was finalized. This visit set the foundation for every later stage, from design to permit and installation.
Using the field measurements, the team planned how the cage would sit over the existing patio. The layout combines a bronze aluminum frame, a gable roof that rises to 12.5 ft, regular mesh screen on the walls and roof, and one access door. This planning stage defined the frame members, screen panels, and door location, so the scope was clear before materials were prepared and installation began. The planning also fixed how the gable roof, frame members, and screen panels fit together, so each component had a defined place in the structure.
Once the design was complete, the permit application was prepared and submitted for review. The team coordinated the required plans and documents for the Ave Maria patio screen cage, covering the gable roof, frame, and screen layout. The permit stage took 3 weeks, after which the project moved into material preparation and installation. Review periods differ by property, so another project may need a different timeline. Installation did not begin until the permit stage was complete.
Materials were prepared according to the project specification before installation began at the property. The installers assembled the bronze aluminum frame, set the gable roof structure, and anchored the frame at its base. Regular mesh screen was then fitted to the roof and wall panels, and the access door was installed. Project photos show the frame assembly, the anchor bolt detail, and the screen installation. The complete installation took 2 weeks. Working in this order keeps the frame, the roof, and the screen aligned from the first post to the last panel.
After installation, the team checked the screen fit, access door operation, frame connections, anchor points, and overall finish. The completed cage encloses 645 sq. ft. under a gable roof, with regular mesh screen across the walls and roof. The homeowners could then see how the bronze frame and screen defined the patio. Project #4384 was completed on June 10, 2026. The cage was then ready for everyday use by the family.
Following the final handover, the completed patio screen cage was placed under Screen Factory Florida’s warranty and ongoing support. Our team remains available to assist with questions related to the screen panels, access door, frame, or other installed components. The homeowners can now enjoy a protected, screened patio with dependable support after installation. Questions about care or maintenance can be directed to the same team that built the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about patio screen cages in Ave Maria and Collier County, including cost, permits, screen options, timelines, and maintenance.
How much does a patio screen enclosure cost?
The cost of a patio screen enclosure depends on the size of the patio, the frame material and color, the type of screen, the roof style, the number of doors, and the site conditions. Larger areas and added features raise the total, while a simple layout keeps it lower. For Project #4384 in Ave Maria, the reported cost was around $12,000 for a 645 sq. ft. bronze aluminum cage with regular mesh screen, a gable roof, and one access door. That figure describes this installation only. The most reliable way to price your own patio is an on-site visit, a measured scope, and a written estimate that lists the materials and features included.
Do you need a permit for a screen enclosure in Florida?
In most cases, yes. A screen enclosure is a structure, and Florida counties and cities generally review it before construction. Requirements differ by location, so check with the local building department or ask your contractor to confirm them for your address. For Project #4384 in Ave Maria, the permit stage took 3 weeks before installation began. Another project may take more or less time, depending on the property, the complexity of the structure, and how complete the application is when it is submitted. A contractor who prepares the permit package can keep the schedule clear from the start.
What is the best screen for a patio enclosure?
The best choice depends on how you use the patio. Regular mesh is a standard screen that keeps out insects and debris while allowing airflow and a clear view. Tighter weaves, such as No-See-Um mesh, also block very small insects, and heavier fabrics add durability. Project #4384 uses regular mesh on the wall and roof panels of a bronze aluminum frame. When choosing for your own patio, consider how many insects you have, how much visibility you want, and how much sun and wear the screen will see. Regular mesh is often chosen because it balances cost, airflow, and visibility. A screen specialist can compare the options on site and match the mesh to your patio.
How long does it take to build a patio screen enclosure?
The timeline has two parts: permitting and construction. Permitting depends on the local building department and on how complete the application is, while construction depends on the size of the enclosure, the design, and the site conditions. For Project #4384 in Ave Maria, the permit stage took 3 weeks, and installation took 2 weeks, with completion on June 10, 2026. These figures describe one installation. A different patio may move faster or slower, so ask for a schedule that separates the permit stage from the build. Weather, material availability, and crew scheduling can also shift the dates, which is why a written timeline is useful before work begins.
How do you maintain a patio screen enclosure?
Rinse the screen panels and frame with a garden hose from time to time to remove dust, pollen, and debris. Check the mesh for small tears and repair them early, because a small opening can grow. Look at the door hinges and latch for smooth operation, and inspect the frame connections and anchor points after major storms. Aluminum frames resist rust, but any scratch or chip in the finish should be touched up. For questions about this installation, contact Screen Factory Florida and reference Order #4384. Trim nearby branches so they do not rub against the screen, and keep gutters and drains around the patio clear so water does not collect against the frame.
