Every Florida homeowner knows that a backyard pool is the ultimate oasis. It’s where you cool off on hot July afternoons, host weekend barbecues, and unwind after a long week. But without the right protection, that dream oasis can quickly turn into a high-maintenance chore.
Between relentless mosquitoes, falling debris, intense UV rays, and unpredictable weather, keeping your pool pristine requires constant effort.
That is where Florida swimming pool screen enclosures come in. A custom-engineered aluminum screen enclosure turns your pool area into a true extension of your indoor living space.
At Hammond Industries, we specialize in designing and building high-quality, durable enclosures that match the unique aesthetic of your home while standing up to the harsh Florida climate.
Why Invest in a Florida Swimming Pool Screen Enclosure?
If you are on the fence about adding a screen enclosure to your pool deck, consider how it fundamentally changes your outdoor experience. It isn’t just a frame and some mesh—it is an investment in your home’s value and your daily peace of mind.
1. Total Pest and Insect Control
Florida is famous for its wildlife, but nobody wants to share their swim with mosquitoes, no-see-ums, wasps, or frogs. A tightly sealed mesh enclosure forms an impenetrable barrier against pests, allowing you to enjoy your pool day or night without dousing yourself in bug spray.
2. Drastically Reduced Pool Maintenance
Tired of spending your Saturdays skimming pine needles, oak leaves, and twigs out of the water? Enclosures block organic debris from landing in your pool. This keeps your water clearer, prevents organic staining on your pool finish, and significantly extends the lifespan of your pool filtration system and vacuum.
3. UV Protection and Temperature Control
The Florida sun is intense. High-quality enclosure screens filter out a percentage of harsh ultraviolet (UV) rays. This provides a layer of sun safety for your family and helps keep the pool deck a bit cooler on the feet. Furthermore, reducing direct sunlight slows down chemical evaporation, saving you money on chlorine and pool balancing chemicals.
4. Wind and Storm Resistance
A properly engineered aluminum frame acts as a windbreak. During normal stormy afternoons, it prevents lawn chairs from blowing around and keeps loose yard trash out of your water.
Choosing the Right Design for Your Home
Not all screen enclosures look the same. The roof profile you choose completely changes the architectural feel of your backyard. When we design custom structures at Hammond Industries, we look at your existing roofline to recommend the perfect fit:
-
Mansard Roof: The most popular choice in Florida. It features a flat top with sloped sides leading down to the walls, creating an open, spacious feeling inside.
-
Gable Roof (A-Frame): This style mimics a traditional house roof with two sloping sides meeting at a center ridge. It matches beautifully with standard roof designs.
-
Dome Roof: Featuring a gentle, rounded curve, dome enclosures offer an expansive overhead feel and excellent wind resistance.
-
Slope Roof (Lean-To): Perfect for smaller footprints, this style slopes downward from the house wall to the outer edge of the pool deck.
Built to Withstand Florida Hurricanes
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “Will a screen enclosure survive a hurricane?”
In Florida, building codes are incredibly strict regarding wind loads. Any enclosure built today must be meticulously engineered to withstand regional wind speeds, which can range from 130 mph to over 160 mph depending on your proximity to the coast.
At Hammond Industries, we don’t cut corners. We use heavy-duty, architectural-grade aluminum extrusions, robust internal bracing, and corrosion-resistant fasteners. Our engineering ensures that your structure handles the pressure of high winds, giving you confidence when storm season arrives.
