Ground Up in Plant City: Watch a Freestanding Pool Cage Built in Days
The crew narrates this one from the site in Plant City: a freestanding pool cage "about 45 by 30," typically three to four days start to finish. Day one gets the wall posts set and the framing taking shape; then the roof goes up, and the screen follows.
Issac closes the video himself: "We would love to help you with your next project," whatever it is - an extension, screen porch, pool cage, lanai, or gutters.
Pool cage anatomy: the parts your quote is made of
- Posts and beams - hollow extruded aluminum sections sized by the engineering, not by looks
- Purlins - the horizontal members that stiffen walls and roof and give the screen its bays
- Cable bracing - diagonal cables that keep the structure square in wind
- Spline - the vinyl cord that locks screen into its channels; cheap part, critical job
- Kick plate - solid metal at the base of the walls where feet, mowers, and trimmers hit
- Super gutter - the oversized structural gutter used where an enclosure meets the house, carrying roof water and the attachment loads at the same time
Why the build runs in phases
The three-to-four-day rhythm you see in this video is the normal sequence for a healthy build: layout and post setting first, because everything else hangs on plumb posts; then beams and purlins to complete the skeleton; then the roof structure; and screening last, once nobody needs to lean a ladder through a wall. Weather gets a vote in Florida, so a day of storms can stretch any schedule - a crew that refuses to screen in the rain is protecting your enclosure, not padding the calendar.
Freestanding or attached: which cage are you buying?
An attached enclosure borrows one wall from the house and ties into it, usually through a super gutter at the fascia. A freestanding cage like this Plant City build stands on its own posts on all sides, which is the answer when the pool sits away from the house or the roofline cannot take an attachment. Freestanding builds need more posts and footers; attached builds need a sound fascia and careful flashing. Neither is better - the site decides.
