Pool & Screen Enclosure Plans for Florida projects
Pool and screen enclosure plans place a pool, its deck and its cage on the lot and show what the building department reviews: distance to the property line and the house, the safety barrier, the screen structure's attachment to the deck, and the electrical bonding. Most Florida counties require them before a pool is dug or a cage is framed.
