Apparently this area has strict wind sheer rules for screened porches and sun rooms.

Right but surely so does Florida? I'm thinking like a square aluminum frame where the roof would just be retractable screening. I always thought our main problem was having a roof that could hold snow. But I guess, obviously, I don't really know.

You are kidding right? Florida ?

This is going to be closer to $100K, OP. Sorry.

That sounds like putting up studs, siding and drywall!

OP here.

Yep. Not gonna be doing this then.

$100k to take a deck and make it a screen porch is insane.

It’s only a 10x12.

We tried to do this and found it cost prohibitive... $30k easy

Yeah, there are so many threads like this. We added a screen porch to a larger reno project a few years back and I was also shocked at how pricey it was. People post here ever year with sticker shock.

Yes, and the interior like built in shelves, bench. The side entrance micro porch on our house is wasted space. Already has a roof at least
