This week, we made another enclosure in Fort Myers look brand new again. Mr. and Ms. Hill noticed that their pool cage had rusty fasteners, faded paint, and stained frames. Here’s what their pool cage looked like before:

They wanted to make it look new again, so they hired us for an enclosure restoration project. They availed our Lifetime Restoration Package, which includes re-screening, replacing the fasteners, and repainting using better materials that come with a longer warranty.

Before we started with our restoration process, we first covered the entire pool and deck area with plastic. Next, we removed the screens so it is easier to replace the fasteners and paint the frames. For the fasteners, we used Nylotech, which is a durable fastener that comes with a 10-year warranty. We then painted the entire cage with Sherwin Williams Hi-Solids Polyurethane that was sprayed on electrostatically. For the screens, instead of the usual Superscreen 14/16, our client availed Superscreen 17/20 or No-See-Um. This model is thicker and tighter than a standard screen, which is why it looks darker – but it doesn’t affect the outward visibility.

It took us less than two weeks to get this job done. This pool cage now looks brand new and with the durable materials we used, the enclosure is given extra protection that will give our clients peace of mind. They also won’t need an upgrade for a long time!
