Hurricanes are a yearly concern for many homeowners in Florida, and with Hurricane Milton on the horizon, it’s time to take proactive steps to protect your outdoor spaces. Whether you have a cozy lanai or an expansive patio, following these preparation tips can save you time, money, and stress in the aftermath of a storm. This comprehensive guide will help you prepare effectively, ensuring the safety of your family and property.
When preparing for a hurricane, one of the first tasks is to secure all outdoor furniture and decorations. Items like grills, large tables, and heavy patio furniture can easily become dangerous projectiles during high winds. While moving them inside is ideal, this can be challenging if you don’t have adequate space. Grills and outdoor cooking stations, like Blackstone or Green Egg units, are often the hardest to relocate due to their size and weight.
Pro tip: Start moving items like these to the garage or another covered area early in your hurricane prep. Be mindful of not blocking access to emergency exits or cluttering important pathways. Remember, leaving items like umbrellas or even lightweight furniture outside can cause serious damage to your home and others' during a storm. In some cases, these objects can even break windows.
It’s also worth noting that throwing furniture into the pool is not a good solution. While it may seem like a safe place to store items, this can cause damage to the pool’s surface, leading to costly repairs. Instead, invest in securing your patio properly, and if you want a hands-off approach, consider installing a MagnaTrack Motorized Defender Screen from Florida Living Outdoor and Progressive Screens. These screens are designed to deploy at the push of a button and can withstand hurricane-force winds, allowing you to keep your furniture in place safely.
Screen doors and enclosures are often overlooked, but they can be especially vulnerable during hurricanes. High winds can easily rip them off, causing additional damage to your property. Traditional solutions like storm shutters or plywood can be effective but often leave your outdoor space feeling dark and uninviting, making them less than ideal for prolonged use.
Instead of relying on plywood—which can cause issues like unsealed holes and mold—consider using more sophisticated options like MagnaTrack Motorized Screens. These screens not only withstand hurricane-force winds but also maintain visibility and airflow, making them a great alternative to traditional methods. Plus, with their easy deployment system, you won’t have to worry about last-minute scrambling to cover your outdoor space.
Pro tip: If you prefer more traditional storm shutters or plywood, make sure to reinforce your screen doors well before the storm arrives. For more insight on maintaining safety without sacrificing comfort, check out Florida Living Outdoor's article on hurricane protection for individuals with claustrophobia here.
Overhanging tree branches and nearby shrubs can become major hazards during hurricanes. The combination of high winds and heavy rain can cause weak or decaying branches to snap, potentially damaging your home, screen enclosures, or patio.
Pro tip: It’s essential to trim or thin the trees and shrubs around your outdoor space annually. Properly thinned branches are less likely to break in high winds, helping your trees better withstand storm conditions. If you're unsure where to start, you can read up on professional advice from Budget Tree Service.
Additionally, avoid waiting until the last minute to trim trees, as the task becomes riskier closer to the storm. Always consult a professional tree service, especially for larger or more complicated jobs. Budget Tree Service offers a detailed blog post explaining the dangers of DIY tree removal, which can help you avoid any unnecessary risks.
One of the most overlooked aspects of hurricane preparation is managing water drainage. Patios and lanais are especially vulnerable to flooding, as they often don’t have the same level of drainage systems as other parts of the home. Before the storm, inspect and clean all strip and spot drains to ensure they are free of debris.
Pro tip: Place sandbags at all entry doors to prevent water intrusion. Stack them at least 6-12 inches higher than the threshold to maximize their effectiveness. Don’t forget to check your gutters and downspouts too—especially if they connect to French drains, which often need to be cleared to avoid water buildup.
If flooding has been an issue in the past, consider installing long-term drainage solutions like strip drains or French drains. However, sandbags and tarps can provide short-term relief in an emergency. For an extra layer of protection, place a tarp underneath sandbags to enhance the water barrier.
Water and electricity don’t mix, and that’s especially true during a hurricane. It’s crucial to shut off any outdoor electrical equipment like pool pumps or outdoor lighting before the storm hits. Leaving them on increases the risk of electrical shorts or damage.
Pro tip: Cover all outdoor outlets with protective covers, or use duct tape in a pinch to prevent water intrusion. Also, be sure to remove outdoor lighting, especially string or rope lights. Even a small break in one of these bulbs could cause hazardous situations, like electrical current in the pool water.
If you use a generator during a power outage, follow strict safety guidelines. Generators should be placed at least 25-50 feet away from the house to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Never place them inside or near the garage. Additionally, allow the generator to cool down before refueling to prevent fire hazards.
Hurricane preparation isn’t just about protecting your outdoor space—it’s about keeping your family safe. While it may seem daunting, taking the time to secure your patio or lanai now will save you significant time and stress later. Solutions like the MagnaTrack Motorized Defender Screens, available through Florida Living Outdoor, offer a modern, reliable way to safeguard your home without the hassle of traditional shutters or plywood.
As you prepare for Hurricane Milton, remember: being proactive is the key to staying safe.
