Pool cage rescreening, lanai screen repair and enclosure rebuilds for Naples, Marco Island and Collier County.
Guides
How this work actually gets specified, costed and built — and the problems worth designing around. Written from public sources, with the references on every page.
Table 1604.3 lets a screen-supporting member deflect l/60 — about 2.4 inches on a 12-foot span — and footnote j caps solid finishes on the screen at 25 percent. The two work together.
Read the guide →FBC 3105 governs awnings on their own terms: 105 mph minimum for a breakaway fabric membrane, 115 mph open for a removable rigid one, and no credit for planning to take it down.
Read the guide →FBC 2002.7 lets an engineer design a screen enclosure on the assumption the screens come out before a storm. It also puts written obligations on the contractor and a duty on the owner at 75 mph.
Read the guide →The Florida Building Code gives louvered roofs their own definition and their own section. An engineer has to design one, the blades have to lock at 75 mph, and a decal has to say so.
Read the guide →The Existing Building Code has a valuation threshold, an area threshold and a five-year structural threshold. Knowing which one a cage rebuild trips changes the whole job.
Read the guide →A screen enclosure is light, large and full of wind. What the Florida Building Code requires of the soil and footings under it, and why anchorage is where cages fail.
Read the guide →The Florida Building Code gives screen enclosures their own wind tables and a 300-pound load case. What that means for storms, quotes, mesh choice and older cages.
