Minneola sits just north of Clermont in south Lake County, on the shore of Lake Minneola with easy Florida Turnpike access. It is one of the county’s fastest-growing cities, with large new communities like Hills of Minneola rising across its rolling terrain. The hills give many Minneola homes elevated views, and homeowners here want to enjoy those backyards rather than spend every weekend cleaning an open pool.
Central Florida’s climate brings humid 90-degree summers, near-daily wet-season storms, spring pollen, and a long insect season fed by the surrounding lakes. An open pool collects debris and heats quickly under direct sun. An aluminum pool cage from CRA keeps a Minneola pool clean and comfortable while preserving the hillside and lake views that make the area’s newer neighborhoods so popular.
Minneola’s Turnpike interchange puts it within easy reach of Orlando, and hillside communities like Hills of Minneola have grown fast with commuters and families. These newer homes are built for indoor-outdoor living, and a pool left open to leaves, pollen, and mosquitoes undercuts that design. Adding an enclosure as part of a new build or shortly after keeps the outdoor space working the way it was meant to, and protects the investment in a competitive market.

- Provides a code-compliant pool safety barrier.

FAQs
Q1: Will a pool cage keep the hillside views in my Minneola backyard?
Yes. ScenicView enclosures are designed with wider panels and slimmer frames to preserve sightlines, so you keep the elevated views while keeping debris and insects out.
Q2: Do you work with new-construction homes in Minneola?
Yes. Much of Minneola is new development, and we design enclosures for new builds as well as replacements, tailoring each to the specific lot.
Q3: Are CRA enclosures engineered for the wind on exposed hillside lots?
Yes. Every enclosure meets or exceeds Florida Building Code wind load requirements for its location, with drawings calculated and stamped by our in-house engineering team. That means the enclosure on your hillside lot is engineered for the wind exposure it will actually face, not a generic rating.
