Keep reading to learn more about the preventive measures to take for screen enclosure damage.

#1: Check for rusted hardware

Rusty screws and other hardware can be the main cause of structural damage to your screen enclosure. With Florida being a very humid state, rusted hardware happens frequently and rapidly.

An easy practice way to help prevent this is to check and keep an eye out for these rusty screws and replace them as soon as possible. This will save you from a more costly repair in the future.

#2: Consider screen panels

One of the most common damages for screen enclosures are tears and rips. These tears and rips mostly come from debris and typically start off small. However, if left uncared for, these tears can quickly become large enough to require a total screen repair.

To prevent this problem, consider adding screen panels to your screen enclosure. The panels will protect your screen from those at risk lower sections where debris usually falls.

#3: Install strong mesh material

Over time your screen mesh can deteriorate due to harsh climate conditions. This will result in tears and holes.

Try choosing a strong mesh material for your screens that is resistant to the weather conditions surrounding your screen enclosure. Selecting a mesh material that can withstand your outdoor environment will save you from repair costs down the line.

#4: Maintain your landscaping

Another simple way to keep your screens from tearing and ripping is to maintain your landscaping throughout the year.

Cutting weak branches from trees, trimming bushes, and looking for any other potential landscaping hazards will decrease the amount of yard debris surrounding your home. This will lower your chance of debris hitting your screens that may cause rips and tears.
