That's why the code and any warranty is worthless. If the screen panels
don't pop out as they are supposed to, all bets are off.

Agreed. Also, in order to work as they are supposed to , they'd have
pop out in either direction! Because if the wind is blowing in one
direction, the leeward panels would then have a negative pressure on
them. But, alas, codes aren't worthless. If there were no code
provisions, people would be building structures that wouldn't withstand
someone blowing on them! One of my colleagues went to Clemson U, and
was on their hurricane team. Pretty interesting stuff.


I was referring to the codes for screened pool enclosures. Building codes
are necessary, although some of the new codes, particularly electrical, are
getting ridiculous.
