Pool Cage Prices

When you start talking about pool cage prices all I can say is "upward". Yes, the price of aluminum is going through the roof again. Now, we told all of our customers over the past 3 years that prices has been flat. Mainly because of our economy right? I like to call it supply and demand.


So, as you can see the folks that have the money it's no big deal about the price of a pool cage or is it?

After 25 years in this business it does not matter how much money you have it's all about getting the best bang for there buck! So, the job above was built by this company http://www.absolutealuminum.com/ and they have been in Venice, Florida for over 23 years. They get these type of projects because hey not every aluminum contractor can build this type of pool cage right?

Absolute is known for doing the most difficult pool cages in the area. They have a trained staff that can manage this type of project. Do pool cages like this come by very ofter? I doubt it but Absolute always stands out above the crowd when one does pop up.

OK, back to pricing. Because aluminum is a commodity based product and our niche in the pool cage world is very small compared to other aluminum products. We see price swings right now that we are only able to give our clients a 20 day pricing model.

Never, that I can remember have we had to relate to this type of pricing model before. So the bottom line is that we need to raise our prices because of this daily price swings.

So, all I can say is if you are on the market for a new pool cage now would be the time to make the leap. Plus, after seeing the job above I would click this link. http://www.absolutealuminum.com/.
