Live under the cage
Airflow where you sit
18×14 Pool & Patio keeps about half the face open for breeze and view. When dusk biters slip through, we step to 20×20 No-See-Um — tighter count, still a see-through screen.
Pool cage & lanai rescreen · South Florida
We match the weave to each panel — bugs, sun, pets, and heat.
Why the weave matters
A Florida cage fights insects, UV, pets, and storms at once. ScreenMan picks the mesh count and openness for each job — then we tension that panel so it holds, not flaps.

PetScreen is about seven times tougher than standard fiberglass — vinyl-coated polyester for doors and lower walls, not a substitute for a pool fence.
Vinyl-coated solar mesh cuts roughly four-fifths of solar heat before it hits the patio — shade you look through, not a blackout curtain.
Tight mesh keeps debris out — the pool stays clearer between cleanings.
TuffScreen is vinyl-coated polyester for golf balls, limbs, and high-traffic lanais — stronger than everyday insect screen, still a clear outdoor view.
From problem to patio
Same cage. Different mesh. A day that actually ends on the lanai.

Screen types we install
The traditional enclosure mesh: about 55–56% openness so air and the pool view stay, while common insects and windblown debris stay out. Default for most South Florida roofs and walls.
Tighter count than 18×14 — Built for no-see-ums and gnats. Roughly mid-40s% openness: still ventilated and see-through, better against the bugs you feel more than you see.
Solar screen: blocks about 80% of the sun’s heat with roughly 25% openness. Shade on hot roofs and west walls — you still look through to the pool, furniture fades slower.
Laminated look that keeps outdoor visibility from your side while cutting the fishbowl effect from the street. We use it on vertical panels — we do not put it on the roof.
Pet-resistant mesh — about seven times stronger than standard insect screen, coated so claws and paws don’t shred the same door panel every week. GREENGUARD Gold listed with their heavy-duty line.
Heavy-duty enclosure mesh for errant golf balls, tree limbs, pets, and high-traffic lean-on walls. Stronger than traditional insect screening, still made to look through — including wide “picture view” openings.

Most cages: one day. We give you a real start window — not “sometime between eight and four.” A small patch can be a couple of hours.

Yes — licensed and insured for South Florida screen work. We do not invent license numbers on the site. Ask Nickolay and we send the paperwork before we start.

A rescreen puts mesh back on the frame you already have. We tension it so it does not sag and flap in a blow. New cages that need engineering or a wind-load stamp are a different job — we say so before we cut.

Mesh is not a fence or a pool barrier. We put PetScreen on the lower walls where claws and noses hit, and we check door closers so a kid or a dog does not walk a torn panel into the water. Screens keep bugs out. They do not replace a lock or a pool alarm.

No — it is the mesh materials in a clear range. Labor, reach, and any frame repair we confirm on site. We do not hide that for later.
