A Las Vegas Patio That Finally Works As An Outdoor Room Year-Round

A homeowner in Las Vegas needed a way to actually use their patio — not just look at it from inside. Heat and bugs made the space unusable for most of the year. We installed a PowerScreen with Apollo Shade 90% black fabric, which gave them the shade and airflow balance that works specifically in the Las Vegas climate — see our motorized patio screens page for full specs.

The fabric choice came down to privacy as much as sun control. The 90% solar rating blocks direct heat and glare while still allowing air movement. The zipper retention system locks the screen tight on all sides, so there is no flapping and no gap for insects to get through. One button on the motor drops it down. That is the whole operation.

The family now uses the space in the evening when the heat breaks — and during the day when they want shade without going inside. It functions as a room. Furniture stays out. The screen goes up when they want the open view and comes down when they want to stay comfortable.

If your patio is sitting unused because of heat or bugs, get a free estimate and we will size the right screen for your opening.
