Richardson Elite Patio Covers provides professional pool cages & pool enclosures in Richardson, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Telecom Corridor. We will build a pool cage in Richardson, and we will also explain why most Richardson pools should not have one. It is a Florida structure, and the conditions that make it pay for itself there are not the conditions here.
A full cage is a continuous perimeter of columns ringing a pool deck, each carrying very little load. On Blackland clay that is close to the worst arrangement available: a long rigid frame with dozens of lightly loaded footings sitting on soil that lifts unevenly through a wet spring. One corner rises, the frame goes out of square, and the screen panels are what tells you first.
If you want it regardless, it has to be built as a structure rather than as a screen product. Drilled belled piers under every column, taken below the active zone, with the frame detailed to tolerate some differential without tearing mesh. That costs real money, and it is the only version we are prepared to put a warranty behind.
For most owners the better answer is a screened room over the patio and seating area, with the water left uncovered. You get the insect-free evening and the shade, the footprint is small enough that every column can be founded properly, and you are not screening a surface that mostly gets used at midday anyway.
Debris is the fair counter-argument. The older lots here carry big pecans and live oaks, and skimmers work hard from October onward. A cage does help with that. It is a maintenance trade rather than a structural one, and it deserves to be priced and discussed as exactly that.
If you are set on the full cage, build it in the cooler half of the year. The piers go in while the clay sits near the middle of its range, the frame lands on ground that is not actively lifting, and the structure begins its life square rather than fighting to get there.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, drilled belled piers below the active clay zone, hot-dip galvanized post base standoffs — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Richardson and nearby communities including Plano, Garland, Sachse, Murphy.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool cages & pool enclosures
The difference between pool cages & pool enclosures that lasts and pool cages & pool enclosures that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with screw-chase extruded aluminum framing, 18x14 fiberglass insect mesh, 20x20 no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester screen, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Richardson job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Telecom Corridor means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
