Default Screen Replacement-Pool Enclosure-How Done?

We're spending a few days in the Orlando area visiting friends and my
curious mind got to wondering about this....

I don't think I've ever seen a nylon screened outdoor swimming pool
enclosure anywhere around our home town Boston area, but they are as thick
as thieves down where we are right now.

I started wondering what methods are used to gain safe access when needed to
repair a damaged screen somewhere on the typical arched top of those
enclosures.

All I can think of short of a "skyhook" is laying plywood or boards over the
area the worker(s) need to walk or crawl on to reach the area where they
need to remove the damaged screen and spline in a new piece.

Is there specialized access equipment used by pros who repair those
enclosures, and if so what is it?

Thanks guys,

Jeff
