We put power roll up screens on our patio in Ohio 10 years ago. We loved them so much we put it on our garage in Ohio. Putting it on our Florida home was one of the first things we did. We used Michelle’s Hideaway Screens. The powered roll up are a very clean look. We can hit the remote at least 6 houses away and it’s up by the time we reach the house to pull the golf cart in without even having to get off the cart.
I am not a fan of A/C. If it’s 80 or below the garage door is the first thing I put up in the morning and let the air flow through the house. We live in a courtyard villa and the model we live in the distance to exit out the front door is only a few steps away. To me pushing a button to raise the screen to exit the garage is not a big deal. I don’t know the cost difference between sliders and powered. Average powered is around $2500. Good luck with your decision.
