Gateway-Specific Considerations:
Gateway's location in Southwest Florida means your aluminum structures face intense UV exposure, high humidity, and seasonal storms. These conditions accelerate screen deterioration and make hurricane protection essential. Most Gateway homeowners rescreen every 7-10 years and upgrade to hurricane-rated systems for peace of mind during storm season.
