In Nampa, Idaho, one homeowner was done putting up with backyard battles — harsh sun glare, bugs sneaking in, fading patio furniture, and zero privacy. What should be a relaxing retreat had turned into a hot, exposed headache. The solution? A custom-installed Apollo Motorized Patio Shade — all controlled by the press of a button.

The customer had a beautiful covered patio facing west — which meant brutal afternoon sun, every single day. On top of the heat and glare, bugs were finding their way in and privacy was out the window. The goal was simple: find something clean-looking, reliable, and easy to use that could take care of all those issues at once.
Our team custom-measured the opening to ensure a perfect fit. We selected a solar screen fabric in a dark charcoal tone — excellent for blocking UV rays while maintaining visibility from the inside. The motorized screen was mounted flush to the structure, and we tucked the side tracks neatly into the patio framing so it blended right in. Power was wired cleanly, and the system was tested thoroughly for smooth operation. Total install time? Just a few hours.
Instant Shade: Afternoon heat and glare are gone. The patio is now usable all day long.
Total Control: With a single remote, the screen drops or disappears — no zippers, no fuss.
Goodbye Bugs: Screen mesh stops insects without blocking the breeze.
More Privacy: Neighbors out of sight — and out of mind.
Furniture Protection: UV rays are no longer fading their patio set.
