Getting a Full Outdoor View with a Picture Window in Ave Maria

When you spend time in your pool area, what would you rather see…

A wall of green trees and bushes at the back of your caged enclosure or a long stretch of lake and open space with nothing to hinder your view?

I don’t know about you but the latter sounds more refreshing and relaxing. I wouldn’t want to feel like I’m caged in my own home.

That’s probably how our client in Ave Maria felt every time they looked out from their screen enclosure.

They had us change the layout of the front wall from having multiple aluminum members to a picture window. It spanned a little over than 38 feet and we removed 5 panels on the front wall.

In the process of doing so, we corrected the design flaw on the header and updated the most load bearing part of the enclosure to the current wind code. This will ensure that it can withstand the strongest winds that hit this part of Florida.
