How Much Do Hurricane Screens for a Lanai Cost in Brevard County?
Most hurricane screens for a lanai in Brevard County cost $900 to $7,000 installed, as of October 2026. Brevard Hurricane Protection prices every job by the width of the opening and by whether the screen is manual or motorized. The ranges below assume a single lanai or patio opening with a sound frame and no existing track hardware. Every price includes the screen, installation by a licensed and insured contractor, and the Brevard County permit.
| Opening width | Manual screen | Motorized screen |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 10 ft | $900 to $1,800 | $1,600 to $2,800 |
| 10 to 20 ft | $1,800 to $3,200 | $2,800 to $4,500 |
| 20 to 30 ft | $3,000 to $4,800 | $4,200 to $7,000 |
| Full pool enclosure | Custom quote after an on-site measurement | |
What moves the price: opening width, motorized versus manual operation, the number of separate openings, and whether the existing aluminum frame needs reinforcement before a track can be mounted.

Lanai Hurricane Screen Questions, Answered
Are hurricane screens strong enough for a direct hit?
Yes. Miami-Dade rated hurricane screens are tested to the same wind-borne debris and pressure standards as accordion shutters and impact windows. The woven fabric flexes and absorbs impact instead of shattering, which is why it is the standard choice for lanais and other large openings where rigid shutters do not fit.
Can hurricane screens protect a screened pool enclosure?
Yes, with a frame check first. A standard aluminum pool cage is built for insects, not 130 mph wind, so Brevard Hurricane Protection inspects the frame before mounting drop screens inside it. On many Brevard homes the right answer is screens at the lanai entry openings rather than wrapping the whole cage. That assessment is part of the free estimate.
Do lanai hurricane screens need a permit in Brevard County?
Yes. Permanently mounted systems with track hardware require a Brevard County permit. Brevard Hurricane Protection files the permit and schedules the county inspection on every installation. The permitted, rated system is what qualifies the opening for a wind mitigation insurance discount.
Will hurricane screens block the view of the pool or yard?
Partly, only while deployed. The mesh is semi-transparent, so you can see through it with some reduction in visibility. Rolled up or stowed, there is no obstruction at all. Most Brevard homeowners also use the screens on hot afternoons for shade and privacy.
How long do hurricane screens for a lanai last?
Miami-Dade rated screen fabric lasts 10 to 15 years in Florida sun and salt air. The track and roller hardware usually outlasts the fabric. Brevard Hurricane Protection checks fabric tension and hardware on every service call and tells you when replacement is getting close.
How fast can a lanai screen be installed before a storm?
Most single-opening installations take one day once the permit is issued. Permit turnaround in Brevard County runs one to three weeks, so the time to order is before a storm is named, not after.
