When it comes to designing a beautiful and functional outdoor space around your pool or patio, every detail matters — especially the view. That’s why more and more Florida homeowners are choosing Picture View (also known as Open View) designs for their screen enclosures. But what exactly is Picture View, and should you consider it for your backyard? Let’s take a closer look.

A Picture View (or Open view) refers to a screen enclosure design that features wide, unobstructed openings without the typical vertical beams breaking up the view. Instead of multiple smaller screen sections, Picture View uses reinforced horizontal beams and custom engineering to create large open spaces with a clean, modern look. This layout allows for a panoramic, window-like view of your outdoor surroundings — perfect for waterfront homes, lush landscaping, or stunning Florida sunsets.
