Our Services

Patio enclosures, lanai screening, and pool cages—each with options to match your needs in Fort Myers.

Screened Patio Enclosures

A screened enclosure wraps your patio with fine mesh that blocks insects, debris, and UV rays while letting air flow freely. It's the most popular choice for Fort Myers homeowners who want to use their outdoor space year-round without battling mosquitoes.

Screened patios work best for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The open-sided design keeps your space cool and connected to the outdoors. In neighborhoods like Iona and Edison Park, custom screen enclosures have become a standard outdoor upgrade.

  • Fine mesh keeps out insects and small debris
  • Allows natural breeze and fresh air
  • Reduces UV exposure and interior heat
  • Adds functional living space to your home

Lanai Screening & Solid Enclosures

A lanai is an enclosed or semi-enclosed outdoor space with a solid or partial roof. Unlike a simple screen room, a lanai offers more protection from rain, wind, and harsh sun. It blends indoor comfort with outdoor living—perfect for year-round use in Fort Myers.

Lanai screens come in different materials: standard insect mesh, UV-blocking solar mesh, or retractable vinyl screens. Solid roof options with partial glass walls give you even more control. Many families in Gulf Harbour and downtown Fort Myers choose lanais as bonus rooms or permanent living extensions.

  • Roof and walls provide full protection from weather
  • Retractable screens offer flexible open-air options
  • Boosts home value and curb appeal
  • Creates a comfortable retreat for dining and entertaining

Pool & Spa Cage Enclosures

A pool cage keeps debris, insects, and wildlife out of your swimming area. It reduces chemical use, keeps your pool cleaner, and protects swimmers from the Florida sun. In Fort Myers, pool cages are nearly as common as pools themselves.

We build pool enclosures with hurricane-strength materials and engineer proper drainage to prevent standing water. Whether you have a small backyard pool or a resort-style setup in Pelican Preserve or Whiskey Creek, we size and design every cage to fit your property and lifestyle.

  • Blocks leaves, dirt, and algae-feeding debris
  • Keeps mosquitoes and other pests away from water
  • Reduces pool maintenance and chemical costs
  • Engineered for wind resistance and proper drainage

Why It Matters

A patio enclosure isn't just a nice-to-have. It transforms how you live outdoors.

Reclaim Your Outdoor Living Space

Without an enclosure, Fort Myers patios often sit empty after sunset. Mosquitoes, lovebugs, and intense UV rays make outdoor time uncomfortable. A screened or lanai enclosure lets you use your backyard for breakfast, dinner, and evening gatherings year-round.

When your outdoor space is comfortable and bug-free, your home naturally extends into that area. Families spend more time together. You host more gatherings. Your property feels larger and more valuable.

Protection Against Florida's Climate

Fort Myers sun is relentless. Humidity is constant. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums are persistent. A properly engineered enclosure using hurricane-rated aluminum and quality mesh handles all three. Your furniture lasts longer. Your pool stays cleaner. Your skin and eyes appreciate the UV protection.

Quality enclosures are engineered to withstand 150+ mph winds, common during Florida hurricane season. Proper installation with secure tie-ins, drainage, and flashing means your investment lasts decades without leaks or failure.

Adds Real Home Value

Real estate buyers in Fort Myers specifically search for homes with screened patios and lanais. It's a feature that increases both curb appeal and usable square footage. A well-built enclosure made with quality materials and proper permits is an asset you can market and enjoy immediately.

What Type of Enclosure Is Right for Your Fort Myers Patio?

Screened Patio is ideal if you want fresh air, open-sided living, and protection from insects. Best for dining and entertaining. Works well for every neighborhood in Fort Myers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about patio enclosures and lanai screens in Fort Myers.

Do I need a permit to build a patio enclosure in Fort Myers?

Yes. Any enclosed or partially enclosed outdoor structure requires a City of Fort Myers building permit. We handle all permitting and inspections so your project is legal and insurable.

What materials are best for Fort Myers enclosures?

We use aluminum framing (lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable) paired with high-quality mesh or glass. Aluminum is engineered to withstand humidity, salt air, and wind. Mesh options include standard insect screening, UV-blocking solar mesh, and no-see-um fine mesh for tiny pests.

Can an enclosure withstand hurricane-force winds?

Quality enclosures are engineered for 150+ mph wind loads. We install proper K-braces, secure roof tie-ins, and sealed fasteners. Drainage design prevents water buildup. Proper installation and local inspection ensure your enclosure stays put in severe weather.

What's the difference between a lanai and a screened patio?

A screened patio has mesh walls and may have a roof, offering insect and debris protection but limited rain shelter. A lanai has a solid roof and walls, providing full weather protection and year-round comfort. Lanais are designed as living spaces; screened patios emphasize fresh air and airflow.

How do you keep drainage problems from happening?

We slope the roof toward gutters, install proper downspouts, and flash all roof-to-wall joints. Good drainage prevents water pooling, foundation issues, and screen deterioration. We follow manufacturer specs and local code requirements on every project.

Can I use my enclosure year-round in Fort Myers?

Yes. Screened enclosures are comfortable 9–12 months a year in Fort Myers. Summer months can feel warm, but shade and airflow keep them usable. Lanais with solid roofs and optional ceiling fans offer true year-round comfort and climate control.
