McKinney Elite Patio Covers provides professional pool cages & pool enclosures in McKinney, TX for residential and commercial properties across Collin County. People who have moved up from Florida ask us about full pool cages, and the honest answer in McKinney is that the arithmetic does not carry across the state line. The structure is right for that climate and that season length. Collin County is a different problem entirely, with a different bill attached to it every spring. The frame is not the issue here; the roof screen is.
A cage is thousands of square feet of screen on a light aluminum frame, and its largest surface is horizontal and pointed straight up at the sky. Nothing else in a back garden presents that shape and that orientation to a hailstorm. A single hard event can perforate the entire roof screen, and rescreening the roof of a full cage is not a modest invoice in any year.
In Florida the cage pays for itself against insects, debris and a swimming season that barely ends. Here the pool season runs a few months, insect pressure is manageable with a screened seating area, and you would be underwriting an annual weather risk on a structure used across a fraction of the calendar year. We will build one and build it well. We say this part first.
The structure most owners end up happier with is a screened pavilion beside the pool, covering the seating and dining area with the water left open to the sky. Far less exposed roof screen, a fraction of the mesh to replace, and it can carry a solid insulated section over part of the span so there is somewhere to stand when the sky turns green. Screen the walls, roof the seating.
If you do want the cage, specify heavier extrusions than the Florida standard, because exposure on these open Collin County lots is not the same either. Uplift governs a screen roof just as it governs a solid one, so the load has to walk from panel into beam, beam into post and post into pier, with a hold-down at each of those joints.
Mesh helps at the margin. A heavier polyester absorbs a small stone that shreds standard fiberglass outright, and on the roof panels of a cage that upgrade earns its cost per square foot. Set each bay to the mesh roll so that no panel carries a seam, and expect the city, reviewing to the 2024 codes since October 2025, to want real engineering with a seal on it.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — heavy-gauge extruded aluminum sections, foam-core insulated roof panels, drilled pier-and-beam footings, bell-bottom concrete piers, hot-dip galvanized standoff post bases, through-bolted and flashed ledger attachment — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve McKinney and nearby communities including Allen, Frisco, Plano, Prosper.

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 heavy-gauge extruded aluminum sections, foam-core insulated roof panels, drilled pier-and-beam footings, bell-bottom concrete piers, 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 McKinney 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 Collin County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
