I am looking to install automatic shades/blinds in my Lanai, any recommendations?
Thanking you in advance.

We are in the process of ordering from Smartwings as of yesterday. There are several companies, all are about the same. Some people like Lutron because they are high priced. You can do your research online. There are always negative reviews for everything. We wanted remote controlled motors with re-chargeable batteries. The cost for whole home automation system was not for us, especially on the lanai. You can PM me with your thoughts or ideas.

During my day job, I have worked with Shade Masters 352-801-1586 to help our homeowners buy new shades, take others down or put them up after they have installed their lanai enclosure. They have been very responsive and our customers have all been pleased.

Not sure what type of shades you need. We do not have our lanai enclosed. We initially purchased manual shades on the inside in 2019 that had cables on each side to keep them stable. With the wind, we did not feel comfortable leaving them down unless we were home and could monitor. So we purchased electric powered shades on the outside of the screens that run on rails. We used Shade Brothers and are very satisfied! We had them installed in 2020!

We just put motorized shades in our lanai.
We used RK Sunshades and they did a fantastic job.
Good company and owner. No money upfront and very honest.
They did a meticulous job.
