Quick Answer

A pool screen enclosure in Vero Beach is priced by three things — the footprint (screen square footage), the roof style, and the screen upgrade — and Right Way quotes it all-inclusive, with the permit and engineering built in. A compact flat-pan cage sits at the low end; a large mansard-roof enclosure with panoramic screen sits at the top. Every Right Way cage is built to the 150 mph FBC wind-load standard with 316 stainless steel fasteners — and the price is uniform across Indian River County, with no salt-air upcharge.

What a Pool Cage Costs in Vero Beach

Let's put the framing up front, because that's what you came for: a Vero Beach pool cage is priced by footprint, roof style, and screen — and Right Way quotes it all-inclusive. $20k - $30. Where you fall comes down to three things — how big the footprint is, which roof style you pick, and whether you upgrade the screen.

Cage pricing is driven by square footage of screen and the linear footage of aluminum framing, so a bigger pool deck simply costs more to cover. A modest enclosure over a compact pool starts near the bottom; a big entertaining poolscape with a two-story-style roofline sits at the top.

Here's the honest framing before we break it down:

  • Footprint is the biggest lever — you're paying for screen area and frame, so square footage moves the number most
  • Roof style is the second — a mansard or hip roof uses more aluminum than a flat pan
  • Screen type is the third — standard mesh is cheapest; no-see-um and pet-grade screen add cost

One thing that does not move the price in Vero Beach: your location within Indian River County. RWE charges the same all-inclusive rate whether you're on a barrier-island lot in Central Beach or inland off 58th Avenue — no salt-air or wind-zone upcharge.

Gable vs. Mansard vs. Flat-Pan Roofs

The roofline is the single biggest style-and-cost decision you'll make on a pool cage. It changes the look, the head clearance, and how much aluminum goes overhead.

Here's how the three common Vero Beach rooflines compare on cost and character:

  • Flat-pan / shed — Relative cost: Lowest; Best for: Smaller pools, low-profile look, tight budgets
  • Gable (peaked) — Relative cost: Middle; Best for: Higher clearance, better rain runoff, classic look
  • Mansard (stepped) — Relative cost: Highest; Best for: Large poolscapes, panoramic feel, premium curb appeal

A flat-pan roof is the most economical because it uses the least material, but it sits low and sheds water slowly. A gable roof peaks in the center for headroom and drainage. A mansard steps up and back for that open, panoramic look — it's the priciest because it eats the most aluminum and labor, and it's the one most Profile A Vero homeowners want over an outdoor living space they actually entertain in.

What's Actually in the Price

A pool cage quote should be all-in, not a teaser. When Right Way prices a Vero Beach enclosure, the number covers the whole build — not just the screen.

Here's what an all-inclusive Right Way enclosure price includes:

📌 What's in a Right Way Cage Price


  • Engineered aluminum frame — built to the 150 mph FBC wind-load standard
  • Stainless steel fasteners — the coastal-air corrosion standard, not galvanized
  • Screen — standard, no-see-um, or pet-grade to spec
  • The permit — City of Vero Beach or Indian River County, pulled and inspected
  • Doors and hardware — self-closing, self-latching where barrier code applies

That stainless steel fastener line is where cheaper bids cut corners. Galvanized hardware rusts in Vero's salt air within a few seasons, streaking your screen and loosening the frame. RWE specs 316 stainless on every enclosure because on the Treasure Coast, galvanized is a callback waiting to happen.

The Vero Beach Permit and Wind Code

A pool screen enclosure is a permitted structure in Vero Beach — it's engineered, wind-rated, and inspected, not a weekend add-on. That's a feature, not a hassle: the permit is what proves your cage will hold up when a named storm comes through.

Depending on your address, the permit runs through the City of Vero Beach Building Department or the Indian River County Building Division . RWE pulls it as part of the job, files the engineering, and stands for the inspection.

The engineering standard is the part worth understanding:

  • 150 mph FBC wind-load — RWE engineers every Indian River County enclosure to this standard, inland or barrier-island
  • Uniform build, no upcharge — the coastal spec is baked into the price, not a beachside add-on
  • Barrier compliance — a self-latching enclosure door can double as your pool's required safety barrier

Screen Upgrades Worth Paying For

The screen itself is where a Vero Beach cage earns its keep — and where the honest maintenance talk matters. Standard 18/14 mesh keeps mosquitoes and leaves out, but it lets no-see-ums — those tiny biting midges that swarm off the Indian River Lagoon at dusk — walk right through.

Here's what your screen options actually get you:

  • Standard 18/14 mesh — cheapest, blocks mosquitoes and debris, lets no-see-ums through
  • No-see-um mesh — tighter weave that stops the lagoon midges, modest upcharge, slightly less airflow
  • Pet-grade screen — heavy-duty lower panels that survive dogs and cats without tearing

No screen is maintenance-free. Salt air and pollen settle on the mesh, so a rinse a couple times a year keeps it clear and extends its life. That's the trade for a bug-free outdoor living space you use nine months a year — and it's a lot less upkeep than re-screening a cage some discount installer built with rusting hardware.

One Contract, Pool Cage to Final Inspection

Screen enclosures are where multi-contractor jobs stall. The screen guy blames the concrete guy for the footer. Nobody owns the permit. You're left chasing a final inspection on a cage that's already sagging.

When Right Way builds it, one licensed crew handles the engineering, the permit, the frame, the screen, and the inspection — under one contract. Because a large pool cage with premium screen and a mansard roof can run into the five figures, financing is available through Lyon Financial and Foundation Finance Company for qualified homeowners. And if you're building the poolscape too, we bundle the cage with the pool and paver deck under the same contract — one crew, one timeline.

FAQs

  • How much does a pool screen enclosure cost in Vero Beach?

    A Vero Beach pool cage is priced by footprint, roof style, and screen type, and Right Way quotes it all-inclusive with permit and engineering built in. $20K - $30K. A flat-pan cage over a small pool sits near the bottom; a large mansard enclosure with panoramic screen reaches the top. Pricing is uniform across Indian River County.

  • Is a mansard pool enclosure worth the extra cost in Vero Beach?

    Often, yes — if you entertain. A mansard roof steps up and back for an open, panoramic feel and premium curb appeal, which is why most Profile A Vero homeowners choose it over a flat pan. It uses more aluminum and labor, so it's the priciest roofline, but on a large poolscape the headroom and sightlines justify the spend.

  • Does a Vero Beach screen enclosure need to be permitted and wind-rated?

    Yes. A pool screen enclosure is an engineered structure permitted through the City of Vero Beach or Indian River County Building Division. Right Way engineers every enclosure to the 150 mph FBC wind-load standard — inland or barrier-island — and pulls the permit as part of the job. The coastal spec is built into the price.

  • What screen stops no-see-ums on the Treasure Coast?

    No-see-um or 20/20 mesh. Standard 18/14 screen blocks mosquitoes and leaves but lets the tiny biting midges that swarm off the Indian River Lagoon at dusk pass right through. No-see-um mesh uses a tighter weave that stops them for a modest upcharge, trading a little airflow for evenings you can actually sit outside.
