Lanai covers are a lovely addition to your home. They allow you to let the fresh breeze circulate while keeping the bugs outside. If you have a lanai screen for your home, you’ll want to keep an eye out for these signs that it’s time to rescreen. Rescreening is occasionally needed to keep the enclosure in the best shape possible.

1. Visible Tears

If you can see visible tears in the screen of the lanai cover, you’ll want to consider having the panel rescreened. Tears or rips in a screen will only get worse as time goes on. More objects will get caught on the door, pets will snag the screen, and children will start pulling at it. If you ignore the tears and rips for too long, you might soon notice that the entire screen looks ugly and worn. Rescreening is an inexpensive way to improve the lanai without completely replacing it.

2. Bugs in Your House

Even if you don’t see any noticeable rips or tears in the screen, you may start to notice more bugs in your home, pool, or hot tub. According to Comfy Living, over 17% of Americans between 18 and 29 years old own a hot tub or a pool. These intruders could be the result of large openings in the screen.

If the holes in the screen start to widen, you might not notice it at first visibly, but bugs will notice and take advantage of the new entrance into your home. The entire purpose of the screen is to keep bugs out, so if you start to see an increase in bugs in your home, you should consider rescreening your lanai. This can help keep those pesky bugs out of your house.

3. Unattractive Appearance

You might also want to consider rescreening if you’re about to put your house up on the market. When it’s time to sell your house, you’ll want to do every little improvement you can to increase the value of your home. This will help to ensure the best possible price for your house. Replacing the screen on your lanai cover is one little project that can make a big difference.
