Ontario Elite Patio Covers provides professional pool cages & poolside shade in Ontario, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Inland Empire. Full pool cages are a Gulf Coast product and they are usually the wrong purchase in Ontario. We build them when clients want them, but we would rather first explain what the local problem around a pool actually is.
What lands in an Inland Empire pool is not insects. It is fine grit, leaf litter and, during a bad fire season, ash. A screen enclosure catches the leaves and misses the particulate entirely, because the mesh openings are far larger than what the wind is carrying. You still run the filter just as hard as before.
A cage also has to survive the wind delivering all of that. A full-height screened structure over a pool is a very large surface on slender posts, and the anchorage and beam sizing needed to make it safe here push the price well past what most people had in mind when they asked about a screen.
Partial usually works better. A solid or louvred cover over the seating end, with a screened windbreak only on the exposed side, gets you shade, keeps blown debris off the water where it enters, and leaves the pool open to the sky. Less structure, less sail area, and a good deal less money.
If you do want the full enclosure it needs engineering, not assembly. Piers below the active soil layer at every column, a hold-down at every base plate, and mesh and framing sized for the load rather than for insects. We will not build one on surface anchors, and nobody else should offer to either.
Barrier requirements are a separate matter and they do not go away. A cage is not a substitute for the pool fencing the state requires, and the City of Ontario will look at both. We keep those two conversations apart so that nothing important gets assumed.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — foam-core insulated roof panels, powder-coated extruded aluminum, embossed wood-grain composite beams, engineered concrete pier footings, designed uplift hold-down connections, louvered adjustable-pitch systems — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Ontario and nearby communities including Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Chino, Chino Hills.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool cages & poolside shade
The difference between pool cages & poolside shade that lasts and pool cages & poolside shade that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with foam-core insulated roof panels, powder-coated extruded aluminum, embossed wood-grain composite beams, engineered concrete pier footings, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Ontario job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of patio cover work in the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
