Bringing the Resort Home
There’s nothing quite like stepping into your backyard and feeling like you’re on vacation.
In Sarasota, a custom pool surrounded by a beautifully designed pool cage isn’t just a luxury — it’s a lifestyle.
Whether it’s for quiet morning swims, family gatherings, or evenings under soft lighting, your pool should feel like the centerpiece of your home — perfectly blending comfort, elegance, and Florida living.
At Luxury Outdoor Builders, we design and build custom pools and enclosures that make outdoor living effortless, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
Design That Starts With Your Vision
Most homeowners already have a vision of their dream pool — an infinity edge, a sun shelf, a spa spillover — but translating that vision into a design that complements their home takes expertise.
That’s where our in-house design team steps in. We start with a personal consultation to understand how you want to use your space, your home’s layout, and the look you’re after. From there, we create detailed 3D renderings that let you preview your entire backyard — pool, deck, cage, lighting, and landscaping — before construction begins.
It’s a collaborative process built around you. Every curve, color, and texture is thoughtfully designed to reflect your style, your home’s architecture, and Sarasota’s natural surroundings.
When the design is complete, you’ll know exactly what to expect — no surprises, just excitement for what’s to come.
Why Every Sarasota Pool Needs a Cage
Pool cages (also known as enclosures or lanais) are more than just screens — they’re a defining part of the Sarasota lifestyle.
The right pool cage does more than keep bugs and debris out. It also:
- Creates year-round comfort: Keeps your pool area usable even during summer rain or strong sun.
- Adds safety: Helps prevent accidents and keeps unwanted wildlife out.
- Improves cleanliness: Reduces leaves, pollen, and maintenance time.
- Enhances aesthetics: Frames your pool beautifully, especially with modern panoramic or picture-frame styles.
- Increases home value: A well-designed enclosure adds usable square footage and luxury appeal.
Our designs balance visibility and protection — with sleek aluminum framing, large panoramic panels, and high-quality screens that keep your view of the sky and palm trees completely unobstructed.
Choosing the Right Materials for Florida’s Climate
Florida’s coastal weather demands materials that can handle heat, humidity, and salt air while maintaining their beauty for years.
Here are the materials and finishes we recommend for pools and pool cages in Sarasota:
- Pool Finishes
• Pebble or Aggregate Finishes: Durable and slip-resistant with natural texture.
• Quartz or Glass Bead Plaster: Reflects light beautifully for a shimmering effect.
• Tile Accents: Add custom patterns, borders, or mosaics for high-end design. - Decking Materials
• Travertine: Elegant, cool underfoot, and timeless.
• Pavers: Durable, easy to maintain, and available in endless patterns.
• Porcelain Tile: Perfect for modern, clean-lined spaces.
• Stamped Concrete: Great for contemporary designs with texture and color variety. - Cage & Structure Materials
• Aluminum Framework: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and built to last in coastal air.
• Powder-Coated Finishes: Add durability and a polished aesthetic.
• Screen Types: Choose between standard mesh, fine bug-resistant screen, or panoramic “no-line” designs.
💡 Pro Tip: Combine lighter deck tones with a dark bronze or black cage frame — the contrast creates a clean, resort-style look while keeping the space bright and cool.
Design Elements That Elevate Your Pool Area
A pool should feel like the centerpiece of your backyard — and the details are what make it memorable.

Sun Shelves & Built-in Seating
Perfect for lounging, reading, or letting kids play safely in shallow water.
Integrated Spas
Add warmth and relaxation with a raised spa or infinity spillover feature.
Lighting Design
LED perimeter lighting, underwater illumination, and accent lights create ambiance for nighttime entertaining.

Landscaping Integration
Palm trees, tropical plantings, and natural stone borders blend your pool seamlessly into the Sarasota landscape.
Maintenance Tips for Lasting Beauty
A well-built pool and cage are designed to last, but a few simple steps keep them looking flawless year-round:
- Skim and clean regularly to prevent buildup and discoloration.
- Maintain proper water chemistry to protect finishes and equipment.
- Rinse cage framing and screens to remove salt and debris.
- Inspect enclosure fasteners annually, especially after storm season.
- Schedule professional inspections to ensure pumps, filters, and heaters run efficiently.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep landscaping trimmed back from your cage to prevent debris and mildew buildup while maintaining airflow and sunlight.
