Winter Park is one of Orange County’s most distinctive cities, just north of downtown Orlando and built around the historic Park Avenue district and the Winter Park Chain of Lakes. With its tree-lined streets, brick roads, and mature oak canopies, Winter Park is a city that takes its outdoor character seriously. Pool owners in neighborhoods like Olde Winter Park, Windsong, Vias, and Interlachen tend to invest heavily in their backyards, and protecting that investment with a quality pool screen enclosure is one of the most practical upgrades a homeowner can make.
Like the rest of Central Florida, Winter Park sees long, humid summers, frequent afternoon storms, and pollen-heavy springs from its abundant oak and pine trees. Add in the steady debris from those mature trees and the persistent mosquito pressure from the chain of lakes, and an unenclosed pool can be hard to keep clean and even harder to enjoy. An aluminum pool cage from CRA keeps your pool clean, your patio comfortable, and your family protected from biting insects while preserving the open, leafy feel that makes Winter Park special.
- Keeps oak leaves, acorns, and pollen out of the pool.
- Reduces chlorine usage and weekly cleaning effort.
- Creates a screened-in outdoor room for year-round entertaining.
- Provides a strong code-compliant pool safety barrier.
- Protects against mosquitoes carrying Florida-borne illnesses.
- Helps preserve the long-term value of high-end Winter Park homes.
The Best Pool Cages in Winter Park by Commercial Residential Aluminum
Commercial Residential Aluminum has spent decades designing pool enclosures that respect the architecture of homes like the ones found in Winter Park. We work with traditional brick estates, mid-century ranches, and contemporary new builds, and we tailor every cage to the property rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all design. Our ScenicView screen enclosures use larger panels and slimmer frames so the view of your landscaping, the chain of lakes, or the golf course beyond stays open.
Behind the clean look is serious engineering. Our patented framing is rated for Central Florida wind loads, our fasteners are marine-grade, and our screen options range from standard insect screen to no-see-um and pet-resistant materials. We handle the design, the permitting, the fabrication, and the installation in-house, so Winter Park homeowners get a single point of accountability from the first sketch through the final inspection.
- ScenicView screen enclosures with wider panels for unobstructed views.
- Custom designs that complement Winter Park’s traditional and modern architecture.

FAQs
Will a pool cage block too much sunlight in my Winter Park yard?
No. Our standard screens allow plenty of natural light through while filtering harsh UV. Many Winter Park homeowners actually find their patio more enjoyable with an enclosure because the screen takes the edge off direct afternoon sun without making the space feel dark or closed in.
How does a pool screen enclosure handle the heavy leaf drop from Winter Park oaks?
A properly built pool cage catches the vast majority of leaves, acorns, and twigs before they reach the water. Periodic cleaning of the screen roof is recommended after heavy storms or fall leaf drop, but overall pool maintenance time typically drops significantly compared to an open pool.
Can CRA repair an older pool cage on a historic Winter Park home?
Yes. We regularly repair, rescreen, and restore older enclosures throughout Winter Park. If the structure can be saved, we can usually return it to like-new condition; if it has reached the end of its life, we can design a replacement that matches the look and proportions of the original.
