Florida living is all about enjoying the outdoors — sunshine, warm breezes, and relaxing poolside afternoons. But if you live in Sarasota, Manatee, or Charlotte County, you know that bugs, debris, harsh sun, and unpredictable weather can quickly put a damper on your outdoor plans.
That’s where custom screen enclosures for pool decks, lanais, and patios come in.
A professionally designed and installed screen enclosure transforms your outdoor space into a comfortable, protected, and beautiful extension of your home — giving you the best of Florida living without the downsides.
Let’s explore everything you need to know about screen enclosure installation, benefits, design options, and materials.
Why Screen Enclosures Are So Popular in our Area
In Florida’s coastal climate, especially if you are living in Sarasota, Manatee or Charlotte County, screen enclosures aren’t just a luxury — they’re a smart investment.
✔ Bug & Pest Protection
Mosquitoes, no-see-ums, flies, and lizards can turn a relaxing evening outside into a battle. Screen enclosures create a protective barrier so you can enjoy your pool and patio without constant swatting.
✔ Cleaner Pool & Deck Areas
Screens significantly reduce leaves, pollen, dirt, and debris, meaning:
- Less pool cleaning
- Fewer chemicals
- Lower maintenance costs
- More swim time
✔ Sun Protection Without Blocking the Breeze
High-quality screen materials filter harmful UV rays while still allowing natural light and airflow — keeping your pool deck cooler and more comfortable.
✔ Enhanced Safety for Families
For families with children and pets, screen enclosures provide an added layer of safety by creating a secure barrier around your pool area.
✔ Expanded Living Space
A screen enclosure effectively turns your outdoor area into a true living space, perfect for:
- Entertaining
- Dining outdoors
- Relaxing poolside
- Hosting gatherings year-round

Built with Premium Materials — Why Quality Truly Matters
At ShoreHome, every screen enclosure is crafted using high-quality aluminum framing specifically engineered to withstand Florida’s demanding coastal and inland environments, resisting corrosion, warping, and long-term wear. We proudly source our aluminum products locally from Lansing Building Products, a trusted Florida distributor known for supplying durable, code-compliant materials designed for superior strength and longevity. This partnership allows us to maintain exceptional quality control, support local suppliers, and ensure reliable project timelines. To further enhance structural integrity, all enclosures are fastened with stainless steel screws, preventing rust, deterioration, and loosening over time — a critical detail that ensures lasting performance year after year. We also offer multiple screen mesh options tailored to your lifestyle, including 18/14 mesh for excellent airflow and durability and 20/20 mesh for enhanced insect protection and comfort. By carefully selecting premium materials and construction methods, we create enclosures that not only look beautiful but deliver lasting comfort, strength, and peace of mind.
