Putnam County sits along the St. Johns River, and that geography keeps humidity above 70 percent for most of the year in Palatka and the surrounding communities. Unlike counties where insect pressure is mostly a summer problem, Putnam’s mosquitoes stay active close to year-round because of it. Add in frequent, heavy summer afternoon thunderstorms, and the county’s many older homes on larger lots, and an unprotected outdoor space here goes unused more than it should.
In most of Florida, insect pressure eases up once summer passes. Along the St. Johns River in Putnam County, humidity stays elevated long enough that mosquitoes remain a near year-round concern rather than a seasonal one. That same moisture also accelerates corrosion and wear on standard screen and awning hardware faster than in drier parts of the state, which is part of why material choice matters more here than it might elsewhere.

A Putnam County outdoor space has to hold up to near-constant humidity and the insect pressure that comes with it, on top of everyday Florida heat. A Designer visits your home, reviews your patio, lanai, or porch, and recommends options built with the river’s moisture in mind. Our Designers handle measuring and design, and installation is completed by our trained installation partners.
