Pool Enclosures in Fort Lauderdale, Broward — AB Aluminum & Screens

Will an aluminum pool enclosure hold up in a Fort Lauderdale hurricane?

Yes, when it's built to code. Every enclosure we install in Broward is engineered to the HVHZ 175 mph wind standard, using Miami-Dade NOA-approved aluminum framing and screen fasteners, with a sealed engineering package permitted through the City. That's the same wind-load standard required for any permanent structure attached to a Fort Lauderdale home near the coast.

Pool Screen Enclosures Built for Fort Lauderdale's Waterfront

Neighborhoods we serve: Rio Vista · Las Olas Isles · Coral Ridge · Victoria Park · Harbor Beach · Coral Ridge Isles

Along Fort Lauderdale's finger-island canals in Rio Vista and Las Olas Isles, and up the Intracoastal in Coral Ridge, salt air corrodes ordinary screen frames within a few seasons. We build every enclosure from powder-coated marine-grade aluminum engineered for that salt exposure, so the frame holds its finish and strength year after year on the water. Screen options range from standard mesh up to super-screen and no-see-um weave, which matters here, since the bugs blowing off the canals get thick once the sun drops.

A screen enclosure changes how you actually use a pool. It keeps leaves, frogs, palmetto bugs, and wind-blown debris out of the water, cutting down on skimming, filter changes, and chemical costs. The mesh cuts glare and UV while still letting the breeze through, so the deck stays shaded and usable in the middle of the afternoon instead of scorching. For families in Victoria Park and Harbor Beach, the screen doors and full enclosure also add a real layer of separation between the yard and an unsupervised pool.

Every enclosure we build in Fort Lauderdale is engineered to the 175 mph HVHZ wind standard Broward requires, backed by Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval documentation and a sealed engineering package submitted to the City building department for permit. We handle that paperwork start to finish, plus a free 3D design so you can see the roof style, mansard, dome, gable, or flat screen, before we cut any aluminum. Our in-house crew installs the whole structure, and financing is available for the $9,200–$12,400 project.

Most Fort Lauderdale pool enclosures fall within $9,200–$12,400, depending on size, roof style, and screen type; ask about our $24/sq ft estimate for your specific pool deck.

Permits & engineering

Pool Enclosure Styles We Build

We engineer every cage to your pool, deck and home — in the profile that fits your space:

  • Mansard — the flat-top profile most common in South Florida; clean lines and generous headroom
  • Hip — sloped sides that meet at a peak; structurally efficient and low-profile
  • Gable — pitched roof for taller pool areas or two-story homes that need clearance
  • Dome — specialty profile for larger pools and feature areas

Screen Mesh Options

The right mesh depends on where you live and how you use the space:

  • Standard 18×14 fiberglass — the all-purpose choice for most South Florida homes
  • No-see-um mesh — tighter weave for canal-front and coastal areas with sandflies
  • Pet-resistant mesh — stands up to claws and lean-against pressure
  • Hurricane-rated specialty fabrics — added protection for storm-exposed coastlines

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install a pool enclosure in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes. A permanent aluminum pool enclosure is a structural addition, so it requires a building permit, sealed engineering, and Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval rated to 175 mph HVHZ winds. We prepare the drawings and submit the full package to the City of Fort Lauderdale building department and manage the process through final inspection.

What's the difference between standard screen and no-see-um mesh?

Standard 18x14 screen blocks mosquitoes and larger insects and is the most common choice. No-see-um and super-screen mesh use a tighter weave that also stops the tiny biting midges common near Fort Lauderdale's canals, though it lets slightly less airflow through. Pet-screen is a heavier-gauge option for households with dogs or cats.

Can you rescreen my existing pool cage instead of replacing the whole enclosure?

Often, yes. If the aluminum frame is sound and still meets current wind-load requirements, we can strip and rescreen it with your choice of mesh, which costs less than a full rebuild. If the frame has corrosion from salt air or storm damage, or predates current HVHZ engineering, a new enclosure is usually the safer, more cost-effective route.

Does a pool enclosure satisfy Broward's pool safety barrier requirements?

A full screen enclosure with self-latching screen doors can serve as part of your pool's required safety barrier under Florida's pool safety act, which Broward enforces through the building permit process. We design door hardware and enclosure perimeter to meet that code, though your final inspection will confirm compliance for your specific property.
