Hurricanes are severe tropical storms that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Scientists can now predict hurricanes, but people who live in coastal communities should plan what they will do if they are told to evacuate.
What should you do to prepare your screen enclosure for the hurricane season.
Check your enclosure for rusty or loose screws, missing screws or missing bracing.
Everything put togather sooner or later falls apart, sooner when the connectors are rusty or worn.
If you are handy, you can replace screws or bolts yourself.
Check for weak, poorly attached corners. Enclosure angles and corners take heavy stress during a storm and one break can bring down an entire pool cage.
Check for improperly anchored support beams. Anchoring beams through pavers is not sturdy. Heavy winds can pull the pavers free from their mortar and sand base.

- The most common screen color is Charcoal, there are also white and gray screens.
- Remember to check with your Community HOA(home owners association) what colors are required by your community, if you live in a community.
What is the difference between screen roof and aluminum roof?
- Screen roof is just like the rest of your screen; aluminum roof is made out of aluminum. – Aluminum roof can be made out of insulated or uninsulated panels. – The insulated panels have the insulation build in between two sheets of aluminum. – Insulated roofs are more expensive, but quieter. Uninsulated aluminum roofs are louder and less money.

Sometimes you find a hole in your screen and you don’t have the time to call someone to repair it as soon as would like. To patch the hole (even a fairly big hole) all you need is a small tube of clear silicone cauking (get that from paint department at Home Depot) and a piece of screen.
Cut the piece of screen about 1/2 inch larger than the hole. Spread the cauking all over the patch and cover the hole. Make sure the screen is dry before you start. The patch will not stick to wet screen.
