Pool Enclosures in Merritt Island, FL

Pool enclosures for life between two rivers

Merritt Island sits between the Indian River and the Banana River, with Sykes Creek and a network of canals running through the middle. A lot of homes here back onto the water, and many pool decks look out over a canal, a dock or the open river.

That setting is why people live here, and it shapes the pool enclosure (also called a pool cage) too. Waterfront lots catch more wind, more salt air and more bugs than an inland yard, and they often have seawalls, docks and setback lines that limit where the footers can go. We have been working around all of that across Brevard County since 1983.

Designing around the water

On a canal-front or riverfront lot, we look at the site before we talk about styles: where the seawall is, how close the deck runs to it, where your dock access needs to stay open and how the setbacks affect the footprint. Then we design an enclosure that fits inside those limits and keeps the view.

Salt air is harder on hardware than inland air, so we use Xylan-coated stainless steel fasteners.

Built for Merritt Island's wind

Open water means open wind, and waterfront homes on both sides of the island take the brunt of it when a storm comes through. Every enclosure is engineered for the wind loads at its own address. We build with Keymark aluminum and through-bolt the hurricane bracing, and the hurricane guide explains why that matters.

Why homeowners in Merritt Island choose Advanced Aluminum

Our shop is in Cocoa, just across the State Road 520 causeway. Every installer is a W2 Advanced Aluminum employee, never a subcontractor, so the crew working beside your seawall is trained, insured and supervised by the company whose name is on your contract.

Our pool enclosures come with a 10-year workmanship warranty, the best in the industry. We are licensed (Florida #AL0521) and fully insured, BBB Accredited and featured on This Old House, and we have built 1,375+ enclosures since 1983.

Styles for waterfront and inland lots

• Picture-window enclosures use fewer posts and a wide, open panel facing the water, a natural fit when the view is the point.
• Gable enclosures add height and airflow over a larger entertaining deck.
• Dome enclosures are the classic, cost-effective shape for a standard pool on an inland lot, like many on the established streets of central and North Merritt Island.

For an existing cage with a sound frame, rescreening may be enough. The pool enclosure cost guide explains what drives the price of a new one.
