Pool Cage Installation in Palmetto, Built to Last
Palmetto homeowners know what river air does to metal over time. Many older cages in town were built with thinner material that just can’t hold up. If yours is rusting, sagging or missing screens, it may be time for pool cage replacement built with stronger aluminum.
We offer full pool cages designed around your home’s exact site. Our team checks span, roof type, wind exposure and the address itself before we design anything. That means your new enclosure is built for your yard, not a generic template pulled off a shelf.
If your current screens are torn or faded but the frame is solid, we also handle pool screen repair and full rescreens. And if you’re planning a bigger backyard project, we can fold in a new lanai enclosure too. Either way, you get one quote, one team, and one plan.
Local conditions
What River Winds and Salt Air Do to Cages Here
Palmetto sits where the Manatee River meets open water. That mix of wind, salt and humidity wears down weak frames fast. Here is how we build around it.
01
Salt Air Corrosion
Homes on Snead Island and Terra Ceia face open water daily. Salt in the air eats away at cheap metal fast. We use American-made aluminum with stainless steel screws and fasteners, built to resist that kind of wear year after year.
02
Open Water Wind Exposure
Riviera Dunes and other waterfront pockets catch wind with nothing to block it. Every cage we build is engineered for the exposure category at your exact address, not a generic guess based on the county line.
03
Aging Original Cages
Many homes in Palmetto Point and Downtown Palmetto still have their original screen enclosures. These older frames were not built to today’s standards. We tear down the old structure and build a stronger one in its place.
Where we work
Serving Snead Island, Riviera Dunes and All of Palmetto
We build pool cages across Palmetto, from waterfront homes on Snead Island and Terra Ceia to the marina community at Riviera Dunes. These properties sit close to open water, so we design each enclosure with the right aluminum profile and screen for that kind of daily exposure. We bring the same careful approach to Bayshore on the Lake and Imperial Lakes, a bit further from the water.
Inland, we also serve Palmetto Point, Ellenton, Memphis and Rubonia, plus Downtown Palmetto itself. Many of these homes have older cages that have done their job for years and are ready for a replacement. Whatever part of town you call home, we bring the same process: a free estimate, a written quote, and an enclosure built around your property, not a one-size-fits-all design.

Meet Dustin and Tanya Keith, Your Local Owners
Dustin Keith studied architecture at the University of Virginia while playing football, then played in the NFL for the Jets, Redskins and Cowboys. After football, he trained in FedEx’s executive program before starting his own business in 2011. He founded RMC after Hurricane Ian to build cages that actually hold up.
Dustin and his wife Tanya run RMC together, bringing the same discipline and high standards from pro sports into every project. For Palmetto homeowners living near open water, that means a cage built to a higher bar, not just one that passes inspection and gets forgotten.
