Default Storm of the..century?

A pool enclosure is not much different than a biplane in construction.
Imagine a biplane disintegrating when it hit 140mph. Why can't they do a
better job designing these things?



Well, in theory the screens are supposed to pop out before the frame tears
apart. That's one of the reasons the rubber strips that hold the screen
sections in are facing outward. But, like many things, the theory doesn't
bear out and in our case the rubber strips held on long enough to rip the
aluminum frame apart in several sections. Only the frames are supposed to
withstand 140 mph, not the screening.
