We thought that these screens were on the expensive side as well, but after having them installed, my husband and I agreed that they were a great investment.

We are south and west facing in our back yard and, with the screens, we now enjoy using the lanai more than ever. The screens keep out sun, heat, wind and most rain. They can be used up or down to any height, and all four work together or independently, so we have a cross breeze when we need it. They keep our living room area inside cooler. Last, but not least, they protect the outdoor furniture and rugs. We have the plus of privacy with being able to look outside with a clear view and we leave them down at night and while traveling for extra lanai entry security.

We even plan to add one on the garage to take advantage of adding some cooling to that area and, by leaving the interior garage door open, to be able to turn off the A/C in the less humid spring and fall to enjoy whole house cross breezes.

The screens increase our use and pleasure of our outdoor space!
