Is painting a pool cage worth it, or should I replace it?
If the frame is sound and only the finish has failed, painting costs roughly a quarter to a third of a replacement and buys you another decade of appearance. If members are corroded through, anchors are failing, or the cage is out of square, paint is money spent on a structure that needs replacing anyway. A crew should walk it and tell you which one you have before quoting.
How long does a painted pool cage last?
A properly stripped, etched, primed, and topcoated frame holds up eight to fifteen years in Central Florida sun. A spray-over with no prep starts peeling in two or three. The entire difference is in the prep, which is also the part you cannot see once it is done, so ask specifically what the prep sequence is.
