A Motorized Privacy Shade That Closed Off The Patio In Poway

A homeowner in Poway wanted more from their open patio — specifically sun control and privacy from neighboring sightlines. The solution was an Apollo PowerScreen motorized shade installed along the exposed side of the outdoor space — see our motorized patio screens page for full specs.

The shade uses a full privacy fabric, selected specifically because mesh alone would not have addressed the neighbor visibility issue. One button pull brings it down; another sends it back up. The zip-track retention system keeps the edges locked under tension, so afternoon wind off the canyon does not push the screen out of position.

The install covered the full patio opening, giving the homeowner a usable outdoor room without changing anything structural. Sun is manageable. The space is private. It works the same way every time.
