One Button Gave This Lincoln Patio Full Shade Without Losing The View

A homeowner in Lincoln, California wanted shade on demand without giving up the open feel of their patio. They chose the PowerScreen with 90% black solar fabric — enough to stop the heat, not enough to close off the space — see our motorized patio screens page for full specs.

The 90% fabric was the deciding factor. It cuts the sun's intensity while still letting air move through and keeping the yard visible. When the sun shifts or clouds roll in, one press retracts it completely. Nothing is left hanging in the way.

Before this install, afternoon sun made the patio unusable for a good portion of the day. Now the homeowner controls when they're in shade and when they're not — morning coffee, evening dinner, it adjusts to the moment.
