Hurricane September
John’s Screen Repair Wellington FL 561-798-3132
It looks like September has started out being very busy in the Atlantic. Hurricanes are lined up all the way from N.C. to Africa.
It is not to late to check your screen enclosure for loose and rusty screws. Every tight screw and bolt helps to keep your enclosure from flying away. Every time there is a very strong wind the joints can loosen a little bit.
A big question comes up every year. Should I remove several sections of screen. The answer is yes, no, or maybe. If you decide to remove sections, wait until the winds are close.
To remove the screen section, all you need to do is get a knife or scissors and cut out the screen, nothing fancy. Some recommend that you take out one upper wall side section on each end of the enclosure and 1-2 on the long back side. It is not generally necessary to remove a section of screen on a small porch or patio.
Some people even buy a roll of screen from Home Depot or Lowes before the storm, because they remember a few years ago when the supply of screen ran very low and was hard to get.

Preparing your screen enclosure for a hurricane is important.
You need to look at the screws and bolts to see if they are rusty. Old rusty screws snap and fall out. This does not happen all at one time. But it happens that a few at a time fall out and at some point the structure comes apart.
You may have a lot of rusty screws but your structure seems fine. But then you get a stong wind or hurricane and it just comes apart.
So, check your structure for rusty screws and loose areas.
Secure your screen enclosure by replacing rusty screws and tighten up loose joints.
