Hurricane Season 2025

Preparation for hurricane season 2025

🌀 Preparing Your Pool Screen Enclosure for the 2025 Hurricane Season

Florida residents know hurricane season is not something to take lightly — and 2025 is already shaping up to be an active year. According to early forecasts, this year’s Atlantic hurricane season may bring above-average storm activity, making it more important than ever to ensure your pool screen enclosure is properly secured, maintained, and built to withstand high winds.

📅 When Is Hurricane Season in Florida?

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to November 30, with peak activity typically between August and October. In 2025, NOAA and other meteorological organizations are predicting 12–17 named storms, several of which could become major hurricanes.

🏗️ Why Your Pool Screen Enclosure Needs Special Attention

Pool screen enclosures are not just aesthetic upgrades — they are structural elements of your home that can be vulnerable in severe weather. A poorly maintained or improperly installed enclosure can:

• Act like a sail and catch wind
• Cause damage to your roof, lanai, or pool deck
• Collapse and require costly repairs

✅ 2025 Hurricane Season Checklist for Your Pool Enclosure

Here’s what every Florida homeowner should do before the storms roll in:

1. Inspect the Frame and Anchors

Make sure your enclosure is built with hurricane-rated aluminum, such as 6061-T6 or 6005-T5, and that all anchors are secure and rust-free.

2. Tighten or Replace Fasteners

Over time, fasteners can loosen or corrode. Replace them with stainless steel to maximize wind resistance.

3. Remove Loose Items

Patio furniture, planters, and hanging décor should be brought inside before any major storm. Even small items can become dangerous projectiles in hurricane-force winds.

4. Trim Nearby Trees

Falling branches are one of the most common causes of enclosure damage. Keep trees trimmed and away from the screen structure.

5. Consider Wind Screens or Breakaway Panels

Upgrades like wind-resistant screens or removable panels allow you to reduce wind load and protect the enclosure structure during storms.

6. Get a Professional Assessment

If your enclosure is 10+ years old or you’ve never had it inspected, now is the time. An experienced contractor can spot weaknesses before they become liabilities.

⚠️ Florida Building Code Compliance in 2025

Florida has some of the toughest building codes in the country — and for good reason. Make sure any new enclosure or structural upgrade complies with the 2023 Florida Building Code, which remains the active standard for the 2025 season. Your contractor should provide engineering documentation that certifies wind load capacity (often 150+ mph for coastal regions).
