Sherwood Forest was built around its lanais: one-level ranch pool homes with two-car garages, and plenty of cages still wearing first-generation mesh and spline. Original screen that has gone brittle tears at a touch, and the spline that held it shrinks back out of the channel. Both are renewable; the aluminum underneath is usually not the problem.
The usual question here is patch or rescreen. One or two torn panels on mesh that still flexes: screen panel repair. Panels chalky and splitting on every side: a full pool cage rescreening is the better buy, and it is the right time to fit pet-resistant screen on the lower panels where the dog leans. A door that drags or slams is a screen door repair job, not a reason to price a new cage.
Sherwood Forest runs without a mandatory HOA, so mesh type and color are your call. It is Sarasota County; mesh-only rescreens usually need no permit, structural frame work does. Sarasota Lanai Screens connects homeowners in Sherwood Forest with a local screen contractor.

Patch a few panels or redo the whole cage? When the mesh has gone brittle and chalky all over, a full rescreen resets the clock. Walls, roof, or the whole enclosure, new spline throughout.
One torn panel, a blown spline, a sagging roof section. Single panels and small sets, mesh matched to the existing weave so the repair disappears.
The screened porches and under-truss lanais of South Gate, Gulf Gate, and Arlington Park, rescreened with doors and kick plates renewed at the same visit.
20/20 tight-weave screen for bayfront and creek-side lanais where standard 18/14 lets biting midges through. Slightly less breeze, a lot more evenings outside.
Heavy vinyl-coated mesh on the lower panels and doors where claws live, with standard screen above so the lanai keeps its view and airflow.
Doors that drag, slam, or will not latch. Hinges, closers, latches, kick plates, new mesh, or a new door hung square when the old one is past adjusting.
Removable window screens re-meshed on the bench, entry-door and sliding-door screens rebuilt. The non-cage screen work for homes with and without enclosures.
