Enjoy More of the View With a Custom Panoramic Screen Enclosure

​

A screen enclosure should protect your outdoor living space without making your backyard feel closed in.

For homeowners in St. Augustine, a panoramic screen enclosure offers a way to create a comfortable, protected outdoor space while maintaining a wide-open view of the pool, backyard, preserve, lake, or surrounding landscape.

North Florida Screen Enclosures designs and builds custom panoramic screen enclosures and Clear View screen walls for homeowners throughout St. Augustine and surrounding St. Johns County communities.

With more than 16 years of experience in the screen enclosure industry, our team understands that a large-view enclosure requires more than simply installing screen panels. The layout, aluminum framing, spans, attachments, roof design, screening, and installation details all have to work together to create a finished structure that looks clean and performs properly.

If you're considering a panoramic pool enclosure, screen room, patio enclosure, or large screened outdoor living space, we can help you determine the right design for your property.

​

What Is a Panoramic Screen Enclosure?

​

A panoramic screen enclosure is designed around larger, more open screened areas that minimize visual obstructions and maximize the view from inside the enclosure.

Traditional screen enclosures can require additional vertical framing or intermediate members across large openings. A panoramic design can strategically use larger spans and carefully positioned framing to create a more open appearance.

The result is an outdoor space that feels less like a screened cage and more like an extension of your home.

Panoramic screen enclosures are especially popular for:

• Pool enclosures

• Large patios

• Screen rooms

• Outdoor kitchens

• Covered entertaining areas

• Homes overlooking lakes or preserves

• Waterfront properties

• Backyards with mature landscaping

• Two-story or tall-wall applications

• Large custom outdoor living spaces

The design possibilities depend on the home's architecture, available space, structural requirements, and the desired view.

​

​

Panoramic Screen Walls for St. Augustine Homes

​

One of the most important features of a panoramic enclosure is the screen wall design.

Instead of filling a large opening with numerous smaller framed sections, a panoramic screen wall can create a cleaner visual appearance with larger screened areas.

This is particularly valuable when your property has something worth looking at.

Maybe your pool overlooks a preserve.

Maybe your backyard has mature oak trees.

Maybe you're overlooking a lake.

Or maybe you simply want to see more of your own backyard while you're sitting beside the pool.

A properly designed panoramic screen wall allows the enclosure to provide the protection and functionality you want without unnecessarily interrupting the view.

​

​

Clear View Screen Options

​

For homeowners who place a high priority on visibility, we can discuss Clear View and other high-visibility screening options.

The right screen material can make a significant difference in how open the finished enclosure feels.

Depending on the project, homeowners may consider options based on:

• Visibility

• Mesh size

• Durability

• Pet resistance

• Privacy

• Solar protection

• Location

• Exposure

• Desired appearance

There isn't one screen product that is ideal for every property.

Our team can help you determine which screening option makes sense based on how you plan to use the space and what you want to see through the enclosure.

 

Custom Panoramic Pool Enclosures

A panoramic pool enclosure can dramatically change the appearance and usability of a backyard.

Instead of looking at the enclosure as simply a structure around the pool, we approach the project as part of the overall outdoor living space.

The enclosure can be designed around:

• Existing pool dimensions

• Pool deck and pavers

• Patio configuration

• House attachment points

• Roof configuration

• Desired viewing areas

• Existing landscaping

• Outdoor kitchens

• Seating and entertaining areas

• Property setbacks

• Structural requirements

The goal is to create a finished enclosure that works with the property rather than looking like an afterthought.

 

Designed Around Your Home

​

Every St. Augustine property is different.

Some homes have large rear patios. Others have pools positioned close to the house. Some properties back up to preserves, lakes, or wooded areas where maintaining the view is especially important.

That's why we don't believe in a one-size-fits-all enclosure.

During the planning process, we consider the existing structure, available space, desired layout, and how you intend to use the outdoor area.

For more complex projects, structural requirements, engineering, permitting, and Florida building-code considerations also become important parts of the process.

A panoramic enclosure should look good from inside the structure and from the exterior of the home.

​

​

Built for Florida Conditions

​

St. Augustine homeowners deal with intense sun, humidity, heavy rainfall, coastal conditions, and seasonal storms.

That makes the quality of the structure and installation important.

A properly designed enclosure requires more than choosing an attractive screen.

The aluminum framing, connections, fasteners, attachments, roof system, screen installation, and overall configuration all contribute to the finished structure.

Our team focuses on:

Accurate Measurements

Proper measurements are critical when working with large spans and custom enclosure configurations.

Quality Aluminum Framing

The framing system needs to be appropriate for the size, configuration, and requirements of the enclosure.

Proper Connections

Structural connections and attachment points are important components of a properly constructed enclosure.

Clean Assembly

Accurate cutting, preparation, assembly, and installation contribute to a better-looking finished product.

Professional Screen Installation

Screen tension, spline installation, alignment, and finishing details can significantly affect the appearance of the finished enclosure.

Florida Code Requirements

Project-specific requirements can vary depending on the location, structure, and scope of work. We account for applicable requirements as part of the project planning process.

Attention to the Details

​

The finished appearance of a screen enclosure is determined by hundreds of small details.

Clean cuts.

Proper alignment.

Flush framing.

Correct hardware.

Consistent screen tension.

Careful material handling.

Clean installation.

Proper jobsite cleanup.

These details are especially noticeable on large panoramic walls because there is less framing to hide imperfections.

Our goal is to build the project correctly from the beginning rather than relying on shortcuts.

​

​

Panoramic Screen Enclosures vs. Traditional Screen Enclosures

​

Both designs can provide excellent outdoor protection, but they create very different visual experiences.

Traditional Screen Enclosure

Traditional designs typically use more intermediate framing and smaller screened sections.

They can be an excellent choice for many homes and may provide a cost-effective solution depending on the layout.

Panoramic Screen Enclosure

Panoramic designs emphasize larger screened openings and fewer visual interruptions.

They're particularly attractive when:

• You have a desirable backyard view

• Your pool faces a preserve or lake

• You want a more modern appearance

• You have a large outdoor entertaining area

• You want the enclosure to feel more open

• Visibility is one of your highest priorities

The best design depends on the property, budget, structural requirements, and the look you're trying to achieve.

​

​

Is a Panoramic Screen Enclosure Worth It?

​

For many homeowners, the answer is yes—particularly when the view is an important part of the property.

A panoramic enclosure can provide the benefits of a screened outdoor space while preserving much more of the visual connection to the backyard.

It can also give an existing patio or pool area a more modern, high-end appearance.

However, panoramic construction isn't simply about removing framing.

Large openings can introduce additional structural considerations, so the design needs to be appropriate for the enclosure's dimensions and site conditions.

Our team can discuss the advantages and limitations of panoramic construction before you commit to a design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a panoramic screen enclosure?

​

A panoramic screen enclosure is designed with larger screened openings and strategically positioned framing to provide a more open view of the pool and surrounding property.

​

Are panoramic screen enclosures more expensive?

​

They can be. Large openings and specialized structural configurations may require different framing, engineering, and installation considerations. The final cost depends on the size, layout, roof design, materials, attachments, and site conditions.

​

Can you build a panoramic screen wall around an existing pool?

​

In many cases, yes. The existing pool, deck, patio, house attachment points, and available space will need to be evaluated to determine the appropriate design.

​

What is Clear View screening?

​

Clear View is a type of high-visibility screen designed to provide a more unobstructed appearance than conventional screening. The specific screen product and suitability should be evaluated based on the project.

​

Can panoramic screen walls be used on two-story homes?

​

Yes, panoramic screen walls can be incorporated into larger and taller enclosure designs. These projects require careful planning and structural evaluation because of their size and configuration.

​

Do panoramic enclosures require permits?

​

Permit requirements depend on the location, project scope, structural design, and applicable jurisdiction. A custom enclosure must comply with applicable Florida and local building requirements.

​

How long does a panoramic enclosure take to build?

​

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project, engineering and permitting requirements, material availability, weather, and site conditions. We can provide a more specific estimate after evaluating the project.

​

Can you replace an existing screen enclosure with a panoramic design?

​

Potentially. The existing structure needs to be evaluated to determine whether it can be modified or whether a new structure would be the better solution.

​

Do you offer panoramic screen enclosure repairs?

​

Yes. We also provide screen enclosure repairs, rescreening, aluminum repairs, and other enclosure modifications. Depending on the condition of an existing enclosure, repair or replacement may make more sense.
