Removable flood barriers · Southwest Florida

Protect the openings where floodwater gets in.

Rubicon measures each opening before quoting so the system is sized to the property, not sold as a one-size-fits-all kit.

Professionally measured, removable aluminum barriers for garages, doors, sliders, and lanais across Southwest Florida.

How it works

From concern to installed barrier.

Start with the opening that concerns you. Professional measurement confirms whether a system is suitable and provides the basis for final pricing.

  1. Step 1

    Show us the openings

    Tell us about the garage, door, slider, lanai, or commercial opening you are concerned about.

  2. Step 2

    We measure and confirm fit

    Rubicon reviews width, required height, threshold, mounting surfaces, and relevant site conditions before quoting.

  3. Step 3

    We fabricate, install, and show you how to use it

    The system is fitted to the measured opening, installed, and handed off with deployment guidance.

The physical system

A removable barrier sized to your opening.

Rubicon Flood Panels use modular 6063-T6 aluminum planks and EPDM sealing faces fitted to measured openings. The panels are installed when needed and stored between events.

What stays installed

Mounting components remain where required by the selected system and confirmed site conditions.

What gets removed

The aluminum barrier panels are removed and stored between events.

How the panels stack

Modular planks stack in an opening-specific sequence to the measured barrier height.

How the opening closes

Side mounting components, compression hardware, and EPDM sealing faces meet the measured opening and surface.

Straightforward local service

What you can expect from Rubicon.

Opening-specific recommendations, measurement before final pricing, and clear explanations of what a selected barrier does—and does not—address.

Measured before quote

Each opening is reviewed and measured before Rubicon prepares a final barrier quote.

Built for the opening

Garage, door, slider, and lanai systems are sized to the actual opening rather than sold as generic kits.

Removable when you do not need it

Barrier panels are removed and stored between events. Installed mounting components remain where the selected system requires them.

Clear about limits

A barrier addresses the specified opening. It does not correct slab seepage, drainage backup, wall entry, overtopping, or water bypass through another path.

Local field service

Rubicon is based in Cape Coral and provides measurement and installation services across its published Southwest Florida service area.

Measurement-based pricing

What affects the cost of a flood barrier?

Because every opening is different, Rubicon confirms measurements and site conditions before issuing a final quote. The website does not publish a fixed price or promise photo-only pricing.

Final pricing considers

  • Opening width
  • Required barrier height
  • Number of openings
  • Mounting conditions
  • Substrate
  • Wide-span support requirements
  • Installation requirements
A repeatable alternative

Less event-by-event preparation than sandbags.

Sandbags

  • Event-by-event filling
  • Moving and stacking
  • Wet disposal
  • Repeated seasonal labor

Measured barrier system

  • Fitted to specific openings
  • Panels stored on site
  • Repeatable deployment
  • Reusable after inspection
