My pool cage sits on top of pavers and the bolts/screws that are drilled into the pavers that attach the pool cage are rusting out and the heads are breaking off. Any recommendations on a company/person that can drill-out and replace all the bolts/screws that attach the base of the cage to the pavers?

Plus, some of the many, many small screws that hold cage together are also rusting around the heads, can I replace those screws with stainless steel one's? My pool cage is white but I would rather do this once and have the silver of stainless steel vs replacing them again.

If I decide to tackle this job myself, I was wonder if anyone has used this Blue Tap system? http://blue-tap.com/ You can get stainless steel fasteners for the base to ground connection and an interesting designed screw for the structure.

These fasteners look very similar to the industry standard Tapcon concrete screws available everywhere. If that's the case, these work very well provided you use the correct size bit to drill the pilot hole into the paver/concrete. Also make sure you have the proper driving bit and drill sized to the fastener.

All that said, we recently had our lanai rescreened and part of the job was having all of the fasteners replaced. It was pretty reasonable as part of the rescreening package. I want to say a couple hundred dollars.

Our cage has the NYLO-TEC fasteners. Very clean look. They aren't cheap but it would be an easy upgrade.
