Common Types of Pool Cage Storm Damage in Florida
Florida storms, especially hurricanes, can cause a wide range of enclosure issues. The most common include:
- Torn or blown-out screen panels;
- Bent aluminum beams or cracked framing;
- Loose or corroded fasteners;
- Sections detached from the concrete slab;
- Sagging roof panels;
- Rusted or failed tie-downs.
In many cases,repairing hurricane damage may require structural realignment or even complete rebuilds.
The key is to identify whether the damage is cosmetic or structural.

Should You Repair or Fully Rescreen After a Storm?
This is one of the most common questions we receive after severe weather.
When Repairs Might Be Enough
A targeted pool cage repair after a storm may be sufficient if:
- Only one or two screen panels are damaged.
- The frame is straight and securely anchored.
- Fasteners need replacement, but the structure is solid.
- The cage remains securely anchored to the slab.
In these cases, storm damage repair is typically faster and more affordable.
When a Full Rescreen or Rebuild Is Better
After major storms or hurricanes, we often find deeper structural issues. A full rebuild or rescreen may be necessary if:
- Beams are bent, twisted, or cracked.
- The cage wobbles or sags.
- Anchor points have separated from the concrete.
- The enclosure no longer meets updated Florida wind codes.
Temporary fixes in these cases often fail during the next storm. We always provide a clear explanation so you can confidently choose whether to repair or replace.
How to Prevent Further Damage After a Storm
Once the storm passes, take immediate safety steps:
- Turn off the power to the pool equipment at the breaker.
- Inspect the enclosure from the ground (do not climb on the structure).
- Secure loose screen sections to prevent tearing from the wind.
- Remove debris carefully from the enclosure roof.
- Avoid draining your pool. Groundwater pressure can cause structural damage to the shell.
If flooding occurred, pool pumps and motors should remain powered off until inspected.
