The temperatures recently really are giving us a taste of what’s to come in the summer. I can already imagine the heat that’s coming, but that could be a good thing if you have a pool. It means you’ll get the most use of it again especially when family comes over…

Our client in Naples just got their pool enclosure restored and the front wall converted into a picture window. That means their enclosure is fully rid of rusted fasteners, dirty and weak screens, and the structure is painted with a new bronze coat.

We first had to obtain a permit to transform the front wall. This is an important first step that homeowners may sometimes forget, but no worries because we include that in our service. It’s needed to make sure that the homeowner will have a structure that’s updated to the current building code for safety.

We also engineered the new vertical posts that would support the clearview screen. For this enclosure, it spans 37’.

We used big #16 fasteners to make sure the connection of the new vertical posts is extremely secure. As for the rest of the enclosure, we replaced all the fasteners with Nylotech and Pro-Tect tapcons.

Then, we sprayed on the enclosure with a new coat of hi-solids polyurethane paint.

It’s a long process, but worth it for the new look of the finished enclosure. It seems much bigger and brighter because of the large screen wall. Our client can enjoy this pool area with their family and host plenty of outdoor lunches.
