Picture View Pool Enclosure (Project #4344) – Laguna Dr, Fort Myers, FL
Fort Myers
March 26, 2026
Approx. 775 sq. ft.
This Fort Myers pool lanai enclosure measures 17 × 16 ft and features a 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall. The white aluminum structure includes a mansard roof, 2 × 6 SMB beams, Super Screen mesh, a 7-inch Super Gutter, stainless steel fasteners, K-braces, support cables, and one access door.
Project Overview
In Fort Myers, a pool this close to the water deserves a view that stays open. The homeowners wanted protection from insects and debris without a grid of vertical posts cutting across the lakefront scenery. The result was a custom 17-by-16-foot pool lanai designed around a wide, unobstructed outlook.
The defining element is a 17-by-10-foot Picture View screen wall. By reducing visual interruptions across the main elevation, it preserves the panoramic view from both the pool deck and the home. The mansard roof adds comfortable height and gives the compact footprint a more open, balanced profile.
The white aluminum frame was built with reinforced 2-by-6 SMB beams, K-braces, and support cables. Stainless steel fasteners add corrosion resistance in Florida’s humid climate, while a 7-inch Super Gutter connects the enclosure to the existing roofline and manages runoff during heavy rain.
The enclosure uses premium Super Screen mesh backed by a 10-year warranty. This durable screening helps keep out insects and windblown debris while maintaining airflow, visibility, and a comfortable connection to the waterfront setting. One classic access door provides a simple route between the pool area and the backyard.

Permitting was completed within 18 days, and the full project timeline was approximately four weeks. Finished on March 26, 2026, the enclosure transformed the pool area into a cleaner, more comfortable outdoor living space without sacrificing the view that makes this Fort Myers property special.

How We Did It
Project #4344 followed a complete design-build process, beginning with an on-site consultation and precise measurements of the Fort Myers pool area. After the materials and final 17 × 16 ft layout were approved, our team created the 3D visualization and engineering documentation for the Mansard-style enclosure and 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall. The permit was approved within 18 days, followed by material preparation and installation. After the required final inspection and client walkthrough, the completed 775 sq. ft. pool lanai was placed under warranty and ongoing company support.
Our specialist visited the Fort Myers property to evaluate the existing pool deck, roofline, structural connection points, and waterfront surroundings. Precise measurements were taken for the custom 17 × 16 ft pool lanai and 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall. During this stage, the homeowners selected the white aluminum finish, premium Super Screen mesh, Mansard roof design, 7-inch Super Gutter, and classic access door. After the scope, materials, pricing, and timeline were confirmed, the contract was finalized.
Using the field measurements, our team developed a detailed 3D visualization showing how the new pool enclosure would connect to the home and preserve the panoramic waterfront view. The engineering documentation specified a Mansard roof with reinforced 2 × 6 SMB beams, a wide Picture View opening, K-braces, support cables, stainless steel fasteners, and the required structural connections. This planning stage allowed the homeowners to review the finished appearance before construction began.
Once the design and engineering documentation were complete, the permit package was prepared and submitted for review. Our team coordinated the required plans and supporting documents for the Fort Myers pool enclosure, addressing the structural details of the Mansard frame, Super Gutter connection, and panoramic screen wall. The permit was approved within 18 days, allowing the project to move into material preparation and construction.
Materials were prepared according to the approved engineering plans before installation began at the property. Our installers connected the 7-inch Super Gutter to the existing roofline and assembled the white aluminum Mansard frame using reinforced 2 × 6 SMB beams and stainless steel fasteners. The 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall was reinforced with K-braces and support cables, after which Super Screen mesh and the classic access door were installed. The complete project timeline was approximately four weeks.
After installation, our team checked the screen tension, access door operation, frame connections, fasteners, support cables, K-braces, Super Gutter, and overall finish. The enclosure then proceeded through the required final inspection. Once approved, the completed project and related documentation were presented to the homeowners during the final walkthrough. Project #4344 was officially completed on March 26, 2026.
Following the final handover, the completed pool lanai was placed under Screen Factory Florida’s warranty and ongoing support. The installed Super Screen mesh includes a 10-year warranty, while our team remains available to assist with questions related to the enclosure, access door, hardware, or structural components. The homeowners can now enjoy a protected waterfront pool area with dependable support after installation.

Design, Permits & Project Planning
Project #4344 required precise planning to create a 17 × 16 ft pool lanai while preserving the property’s panoramic waterfront view. Engineering drawings established the Mansard roof geometry, reinforced 2 × 6 SMB beam layout, 7-inch Super Gutter connection, and structural support for the 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall. The 3D visualization confirmed the proportions of the white aluminum frame, Super Screen sections, K-braces, support cables, and classic access door before installation. Together with the site plan, these documents supported Florida code compliance, accurate fabrication, and permit approval within 18 days.
The engineering package defined the structural requirements for the custom 17 × 16 ft pool lanai, including the reinforced 2 × 6 SMB beam layout, Mansard roof geometry, frame connections, K-braces, support cables, and attachment to the 7-inch Super Gutter. Each component was planned around the existing roofline and specified to meet the applicable Florida Building Code requirements for the Fort Myers property.
The 3D model provided a clear preview of the pool enclosure before fabrication and installation began. It showed the proportions of the white aluminum Mansard frame, reinforced beam placement, 17 × 10 ft Picture View screen wall, Super Screen sections, classic access door, and connection to the existing home while confirming that the panoramic waterfront view would remain open.
The site plan positioned the new enclosure around the existing pool deck while accounting for the home’s footprint, roofline, waterfront orientation, backyard access, and structural connection points. It supported permit coordination, confirmed the 17 × 16 ft enclosure layout, and accurately located the Super Gutter attachment, access door, and Picture View wall on the property.
