Pool cage guides for Tampa Bay, FL: frequently asked questions

How much does a new pool cage cost in Tampa Bay?

Most new pool enclosures in Tampa Bay run roughly $10,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on size, height, roof style and the wind design speed for your address. The pool cage cost guide breaks that down by size and style.

Are pool cages covered by homeowners insurance in Florida?

Often not. Citizens Property Insurance's HO-3 form says aluminum-framed screened enclosures and screen pool cages are not covered, so check your own policy and ask your agent about a screened enclosure endorsement.

How long does pool cage screen last in Florida?

Standard fiberglass pool screen usually lasts about 5 to 10 years in Florida, and premium or pet-resistant mesh about 8 to 15 years. The screen types guide compares each mesh.

Do these guides replace advice from my building department?

No. The guides quote each county's and city's published rules as of October 2026, but rules change, so confirm permits and wind speeds for your address with your building department.
