Motorized Outdoor Screen FAQs

OutdoorShadePal screens are custom-built to your specifications. Available dimensions depend on the selected system and your opening. Your dealer will measure your space and confirm the model's size limits.

OutdoorShadePal screens are custom made in the USA for the precise dimensions and requirements of your space. Every system is built to order for a clean fit and professional installation.

We offer premium exterior motorized screens and exterior open roller shades. Manual screens and French-door screens are not part of our offering. Your local dealer can recommend the right system for your patio, garage, or commercial outdoor space.

Fabric options depend on whether you need solar shading, insect protection, privacy, or an open roller shade. Your dealer can show available fabric samples, colors, and openness levels and explain the tradeoffs for your space.

Exterior screens and shades are primarily designed for shade, glare, insects, or privacy, depending on the system. They are not a waterproof enclosure. Follow the product's weather and retraction instructions, and discuss exposure to rain and wind with your dealer.

Motorized screens operate at the touch of a button. Remote controls, wall switches, smart-home integration, and compatible sensors depend on the system selected. Your dealer can explain which options are available for your project.

Compatible wind sensors may be available depending on the selected motor and control system. Your dealer can confirm compatibility and explain safe operating limits. Sensors do not replace the manufacturer's instructions for severe weather.
