Green algae on the aluminum frame, black mildew at the screen edges, and screens that look gray instead of clear. Around the water, cages age twice as fast.
Green algae on the frame, black mildew lines at the screen edges, and hazy screens around the pool or lanai.
Screens trap humidity and shade — perfect algae conditions. Cages near Doctors Lake and Fleming Island's canals age twice as fast as inland ones, and too much pressure stretches or tears the screens.
Cages typically run $150–$400 by size and severity. The cage + pool deck bundle is the standard quote for river-adjacent homes.
