If you’re staring at one torn or worn-out panel in your otherwise good pool enclosure, you’re probably wondering:
Can I replace just one panel, or do I have to rescreen the entire enclosure?
The answer is yes — one panel can absolutely be replaced. In fact, this is a common service we perform for customers across Naples, Marco Island, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and other Southwest Florida cities.
But there are a few things you should know before calling in a professional.
Why Would You Replace Just One Panel?
There are plenty of situations where only one screen panel is damaged:
- A branch tore the screen during a storm
- Pets scratched through a panel
- Kids accidentally pushed an object through the mesh
- UV rays weakened a specific spot
- One section aged faster than others due to sun or water exposure
If the frame is in good condition and the rest of the screening is still holding up well, a one-panel replacement makes sense and can save you money.
What to Consider Before Replacing One Panel
While it is possible to replace a single panel, here are a few factors to weigh first:
1. Age of the Existing Screens
If your pool cage screens are 5-7 years old or newer, replacing one panel works well — the new screen will blend in just fine.
But if your enclosure is over 8-10 years old, the original screens may have faded or stretched. Installing one fresh panel next to worn ones can create a visible mismatch.
2. Type of Screen Material
Different screen types (standard fiberglass, polyester Super Screen, Florida Glass, No-See-Um mesh, Pet Screen, solar screen, etc.) may vary in color and tension as they age. If your original screen is discontinued, we can recommend a compatible match.
3. Frame Condition
If the frame surrounding the damaged panel is bent, corroded, or unstable, it may require repair first. Replacing just the screen won’t hold if the structure is compromised.
The Process of Replacing One Pool Enclosure Panel
Here’s how Best Rescreen Company typically handles a one-panel replacement:
- We remove the old spline (the rubber strip that holds the screen in place) and damaged screen panel.
- We inspect the surrounding frame to ensure it’s solid.
- We install a matching or compatible screen material with fresh spline, stretched to proper tension.
- We double-check that the new panel blends well with the rest of the enclosure.
Most one-panel replacements can be done in about an hour — depending on accessibility.
How Much Does It Cost to Replace One Pool Cage Panel?
Costs vary by screen type and project complexity, but here’s a rough guide for Southwest Florida:
- Standard fiberglass screen panel: $75 – $150
- Pet Screen or Florida Glass panel: $100 – $200
- Large or difficult-to-access panel: slightly higher
We always provide an exact estimate before we begin.
Is It Ever Better to Rescreen the Whole Enclosure?
Yes — sometimes. If:
- Your screens are 10+ years old
- You have multiple damaged panels
- The existing screens are brittle, loose, or faded
- You want to upgrade to Super Screen, Florida Glass, No-See-Um screen, or Solar Shield
…then a full rescreen may be more cost-effective in the long run.
We can advise you honestly — no pressure — based on the condition of your enclosure.
