Orlando is the seat of Orange County and the largest city in Central Florida, anchoring a metro area of more than 2.7 million residents. Known worldwide for its theme parks, lakes, and year-round sunshine, Orlando is also home to thousands of pool owners who want to enjoy their backyards without sharing them with mosquitoes, palm debris, and afternoon storms. Whether you live in Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, Dr. Phillips, College Park, or the Conway area, a pool screen enclosure is one of the smartest upgrades you can make to your property.
Central Florida averages around 50 inches of rain a year and roughly 100 days of thunderstorms, with summer highs in the 90s and humidity that keeps insects active for most of the year. Add in pollen-heavy springs, frequent tropical systems, and the constant fall of leaves and palm fronds, and an open pool can become a full-time maintenance project. An aluminum pool cage from CRA gives Orlando homeowners a comfortable, protected space that stays usable from January through December, and dramatically cuts the time you spend skimming, vacuuming, and balancing chemicals.
- Reduces pool cleaning time by keeping out leaves, pollen, and lovebugs.
- Blocks UV rays and lowers the surface temperature of your patio.
- Provides a strong barrier against mosquitoes and no-see-ums.
- Helps meet Florida pool safety code for residential properties.
- Adds resale value and curb appeal in Orlando’s competitive housing market.
- Creates a usable outdoor room you can enjoy during summer storms.
The Best Pool Cages in Orlando by Commercial Residential Aluminum
Commercial Residential Aluminum has been engineering and installing pool enclosures across Florida for more than 25 years. Our patented ChannelLock SMB framing and ScenicView screen systems are designed and tested for Florida wind loads, which matters in a city that sits in the path of nearly every Atlantic storm that crosses the peninsula. CRA pool cages in Orlando are built to last, with marine-grade fasteners, premium aluminum extrusions, and screen materials selected for our climate.
Beyond strength, our enclosures are designed to look great on Orlando homes, from new construction in Lake Nona and Horizon West to established neighborhoods around Lake Eola and Audubon Park. A CRA pool cage gives you a clean, modern frame and an unobstructed view of your yard, the pool, and whatever lies beyond.
