How much does a pool cage cost
How much does a pool cage cost in Sarasota?
Costs will depend on some factors:
- Size: square footage or the height of the screen enclosure, one or two story pool cage
- Style: Mansard, gable or flat
- Existing or new construction swimming pool: existing may have a footer issue, this means the size of the existing concrete footer may not be large enough for the new screen enclosure.
- Stainless steel fasteners or regular carbon steel. Stainless steel fasteners I highly recommend, because of the Resistance to corrosion. Though the upgrade to stainless is a additional cost to factor in when pricing out pool cages.
- Wind Bracing: "K" Bracing in my opinion is better than cable ties (cable ties will loosen in high wind situations) Though "K" bracing will run more.
- Screen
With the information above lets take a standard pool cage and factor in a square foot price:
Deck size: 24' side wall of screen enclosure x 42' back wall of screen enclosure 24' side wall of screen enclosure
Screen Doors: (2) in each side wall
Patio Screen Type: 18/14 standard mesh patio screen 20/20 screen "no-see-um" screen would add an additional .50 cents a sq. ft.
Wall height or fascia height: This measurement would be from the finished concrete deck to the bottom of the drip edge. In this example we will use 10' high walls.
Style Roof: Mansard, flat or gable, mansard is the most popular roof, style, though the above mentioned does not reflect a increase in price.
Equation: 24' side wall + 24' side wall + 42' back wall= 90 l/f x the wall height of 10'= 900 sq. ft . this is the square footage of our walls of the screen enclosure.
Roof: would be 24' x 42' = 1008 sq.ft.
Take the roof and add the walls together: 900 walls + 1008 roof = 1908 total square footage
1908 total square footage x $3.50 a square foot.= $6678.00 this should include permit, materials and labor + engineering
