Featured Project: Hurricane-Proof Guard House for Key West Golf Club
Key West Golf Club demanded a stunning new guard house that could survive Category 5 hurricanes (180 mph winds) while perfectly matching the luxury island aesthetic and providing 360° visibility for access control. Panel Built delivered a welded-steel 6’ x 9’ security booth engineered to Monroe County’s strictest wind-load codes, blending seamlessly with the tropical surroundings and built to outlast Florida’s fiercest storms. When Hurricane Irma struck in 2017, the booth stood unscathed—proving Panel Built guard houses don’t just look good, they perform when it matters most.
