Obviously, spring, summer, and fall are the best times to get outdoors. The temperatures are comfortable, the evenings are longer, and patios and decks naturally become gathering places. However, there is one problem that shows up every year without fail: bugs. Mosquitoes, flies, and gnats can quickly turn an inviting outdoor area into a space that goes unused. While candles and sprays offer short-term relief, they rarely provide a lasting solution. That is where motorized patio screens come in.
Motorized screens let homeowners enjoy outdoor living without the bugs. They create a comfortable, protected space that still feels open and connected to the outdoors. With the press of a button, screens lower when needed and disappear when they’re not, making them an ideal solution for your favorite times of the year.
What Are Motorized Patio Screens?
Simply put, motorized patio screens are retractable screens that raise and lower with the press of a button. Unlike fixed screens, motorized screens can disappear when you don’t need them, keeping your space open when conditions are right.
They’re designed for patios, pergolas, covered decks, gazebos, and more.
There are a lot of motorized screen options on the market today, ranging from spring-loaded systems to zipper-style tracks and magnetic systems. At Innov8 Outdoors, we are your local, certified installer of Progressive MagnaTrack Screens. Of all the options available, we’ve found that MagnaTrack offers the best combination of quality, performance, and durability, especially in high winds and extreme temperatures.
More Than Bug Protection: Additional Benefits of Motorized Screens
We’ve been talking a lot about bugs, but motorized patio screens solve more problems than that.
Many of our clients also use retractable screens to block harsh afternoon sun, reduce glare, add privacy when neighbors are close, or limit the amount of wind coming into their space.
Whether you need privacy, sun or wind protection, or a reliable way to keep the bugs out, motorized screens are a simple solution for improving comfort outdoors, both for entertaining and everyday use.
Where Retractable Screens Work Best
To help you visualize screens in your own space, here are some of the most common places we install them:
- Covered patios
- Aluminum pergolas
- Decks
Basically, if there’s a header and posts to attach the hood and tracks to, we can usually install a motorized screen system there.
Are Motorized Screens a Smart Outdoor Living Investment?
Yes! If you’re looking to get more use out of your outdoor living space, motorized patio screens are a smart investment.
The MagnaTrack Screens system is low maintenance, easy to use, and designed to be self-tensioning. This means fewer snags, jams, and hang-ups compared to other systems. Screens can also be seamlessly integrated into our pergola structures or hidden within your covered patio design.
It’s a durable, long-lasting solution that adds comfort and flexibility to your outdoor lifestyle.
