Frequently asked questions

Does a new pool cage need a permit?

Yes. New enclosures are structures and need a building permit and inspections from your city or county. Your contractor should pull it under their own license.

How long does a new pool cage take?

Timelines depend on engineering, permit review and the contractor's schedule. Ask each bidder for a realistic estimate covering permit approval plus build time.
