Tavares is the seat of Lake County and calls itself “America’s Seaplane City,” with a seaplane base and waterfront district on Lake Dora. It anchors the Golden Triangle with Eustis and Mount Dora, and its neighborhoods spread along the Harris Chain of Lakes. Homeowners here live close to the water, which brings scenery and lake access along with the debris and insect pressure that come with a lakeside address.
The Central Florida climate is the same story across Lake County: humid summers in the 90s, near-daily storms in the wet season, spring pollen, and a long insect season. On the water, mosquito activity runs especially high. An aluminum pool cage from CRA keeps a Tavares pool clean and swimmable, keeps the patio comfortable, and turns an open deck into a screened outdoor room that works year-round.
Tavares has invested heavily in its waterfront, and the seaplane base, downtown entertainment district, and lakefront parks have drawn new residents to the area. Many of those homes sit on or near the water, where the view is the whole point and the insects are the trade-off. A CRA enclosure protects the pool and the patio without walling off the scenery, so homeowners get the lakeside lifestyle they moved here for with far less maintenance.
- Blocks lake-driven mosquitoes and no-see-ums.
- Keeps leaves, pollen, and debris out of the pool.
- Reduces cleaning time and chemical use.
- Provides a code-compliant pool safety barrier.

FAQs
Q1: Do you build enclosures for waterfront homes in Tavares?
Yes. We engineer enclosures for open, wind-exposed lakefront lots to Florida Building Code wind load standards, with drawings calculated and stamped in-house for the specific site.
Q2: Will a pool cage obstruct my view of Lake Dora?
No. ScenicView enclosures use slimmer frames and wider panels to keep sightlines to the water as open as possible while still keeping debris and insects out.
Q3: How soon can CRA start a project in Tavares?
After the design is finalized, most projects move into permitting and then installation, with the full timeline typically running a few weeks depending on Lake County permit review and the size of the enclosure. CRA manages the permitting and inspection scheduling, so you are not chasing paperwork with the county.
