Footings & Paver Decks

Many Florida homeowners buy homes with a beautiful pool and a paver deck.  The only thing missing is the screen enclosure.  In this case though the paver pool deck was lacking something important, a footing.  It is acceptable for a paver deck to be done without a footing, it just requires work further down the line to prepare it for an enclosure.

In this case the pavers had to be pulled up, a footer was dug for the screen enclosure, and then the footer poured and pavers put back in place.  After all of that, then a screen enclosure can be built.  For a more in depth analysis, check out this project on ScreenEnclosureGuide.com
