FULLY PREPARED FOR HURRICANE SEASON: HEAVY DUTY SCREEN ENCLOSURE
Our installers just finished Phase I of this project: custom-design a heavy-duty screen enclosure for this patio in Apollo Beach, FL.
The enclosure protects the family and their patio from flying debris when hurricane-force winds blow in the area.
As you can see in the photos, the metal has a big gauge, and it is very solidly anchored to the masonry with multiple anchor points on all sides.
The screens are also heavy-duty, and rated hurricane-strength.
Apollo Beach has an extreme “Wind Factor” risk based on the projected likelihood and speed of hurricane, tornado, or severe storm winds impacting it. It is most at risk from hurricanes. Average maximum wind speeds in Apollo Beach are higher now than they were 30 years ago, and 100% of homes in Apollo Beach have at least some risk.
Under these circumstances, building a heavy-duty patio enclosure is not a luxury item. We specialize in screens and patio enclosures: if you think your home or commercial venue could benefit from such a protection, give us a call. We will study your project for feasibility and cost, and give you an estimate.
PREPARE FOR HURRICANE SEASON: CUSTOM HEAVY-DUTY PATIO ENCLOSURE
Our team has just completed Phase I of a critical project: designing and installing a custom heavy-duty patio enclosure for a home in Apollo Beach, FL.
This robust enclosure ensures the family and their outdoor space are protected from flying debris during hurricane-force winds, offering much-needed security.
The photos highlight the thick-gauge metal framework, securely anchored to the masonry with multiple strong points. The screens are hurricane-rated, built to endure severe weather conditions.
Apollo Beach is at high risk due to extreme “Wind Factor,” facing frequent hurricanes, tornadoes, and severe storms. With average wind speeds higher now than 30 years ago, every home in Apollo Beach faces significant risk. Investing in a heavy-duty patio enclosure is a practical and necessary measure.
We specialize in creating custom screens and patio enclosures designed to withstand harsh weather. If you believe your home or commercial property could benefit from this added protection, contact us. We’ll assess your project for feasibility and cost, providing a transparent estimate.
Great example of integrating hurricane screens
Here is a great example of integrating hurricane screens in the general esthetics of a home. The pool deck stone is white, the house of a neutral color. Adding dark hurricane screens, especially with that large surface area, would be changing the vibe of the house. The owners opted for white hurricane screens of the Progressive Screens band. They integrate seamlessly with the house inside the pool cage.
As you can see on the video, the individual motors are remote-controlled, all together or separately. These electric motors are super reliable and pull a lot of torque. The motor of the smaller screen is a bit faster than the other two: it pulls less weight.
The screens are made of a heavy, mold-resistant synthetic fabric which offers trong resistance against strong winds and debris projections. The screens are also situated inside the pool cage, which reduces the need for even heavier fabric.
Installation done in Lutz, FL.
MOTORIZED HURRICANE SCREEN INSTALLED IN NEW PATIO – CLEARWATER FL

A New Outdoor Retreat in Parrish, FL
Just recently, we completed an installation in Parrish, FL, where a family wanted to transform their patio into a more enjoyable and versatile space. They loved spending time outdoors, but the hot sun, constant bugs, and the need to keep their dog safe were challenges they couldn’t ignore.
We installed our retractable patio screens, which instantly provided the shade and bug protection they needed. The screens easily retract when they want to fully open the space, keeping the area flexible for any occasion. The highlight, though, was integrating a custom dog gate right into the setup. Now, their dog can come and go freely without disrupting the flow of the patio.
The difference is night and day. What was once just an outdoor space is now a true extension of their home. They’re able to enjoy their patio more than ever—whether it’s for a quiet morning coffee or hosting a gathering—without worrying about the elements or their pet’s safety. It’s been a rewarding transformation to be a part of, and it’s always satisfying to see how the right solution can bring a space to life.
RETRACTABLES SCREENS – PATIO & WINDOWS IN ODESSA, FL
Take a look at these motorized retractable screens on the windows and around the patio structure. They offer a degree of privacy, when relaxing with your family and friends. They also protect your party from the wind and the rain when there is a bit of weather, enabling you to enjoy your outdoor longer all year round. Made with a robust vinyl canvas specially treated for mildew resistance. If you are thinking of spending more of your life outdoor, call us: we’ll engineer a great solution for you.
MOTORIZED RETRACTABLE SCREEN BEHIND GARAGE DOOR
An uncommon, but very practical installation. The homeowner wanted to be able to work in his garage without exposure to mosquitoes or rain. He also wanted to keep the temperature down during summer. The motorized retractable screen checks all these boxes, and brings him a degree of privacy too. Sometimes, you just don’t want to inform the whole neighborhood of what you do in your garage. Also, in an age where tool theft has become a plague, preventing thieves from seeing what’s inside your garage when they casually go around a community “to case the joint”, is an effective deterrent. Thieves go for the easy target. The screen hides what’s inside, and it also tells them “this will be harder to go in”. Installed behind the garage door, it does not prevent lifting and lowering the door. If you think that’s a great idea for your home, please give us a call to get a quick estimate.

We did this short video to show some of the details of the installation of motorized retractable screens in this residence in Davis Island, FL. You can see how the support brackets and the cassette were mounted on the masonry with minimal intrusion in the walls and the roof soffit. The retractable screens shield the patio from wind and rain, and protect the homeowners from harsh sun during the summer. It’s a way for homeowners to regain more of their outdoor living space all year round. If you want to live outdoor more of your life, call us. We have custom solutions for all home configurations.
Read moreINSTALLATION OF RETRACTABLE SCREENS ON DAVIS ISLAND, FL
We just completed this project on a site on Davis Island, FL. The owners have a patio open on 2 sides, with a very enjoyable view. However, this patio is exposed to wind and rain, as well as harsh sun during summer. This limits the numbers of days the family can actually enjoy some R&R with their guests. So they decided to install Vyzioné motorized retractable screens to use that space in all seasons. If you are in a similar situation and want to enjoy outdoor living all year round, call us with your ideas and we’ll discuss how to make them into reality!

Read moreRETRACTABLE SCREENS IN WESLEY CHAPEL
Take a look at the photos. The wide openings of this home in Wesley Chapel now have retractable screens that protect the balcony (upper floor) and the patio (ground floor). The screens are fully motorized independently from each other. Our installation enables homeowners to enjoy their outdoor area without the typical inconveniences of a house situated on a golf course: wide exposure to winds and rains, and mosquitoes during springtime and summer. Before we installed the retractable screens on the balcony, they could not enjoy it at all because of the unceasing mosquito attacks and the exposure to high winds due to the wide-open space in front of their home. Retractable screens are made in weather-resistant and sun-resistant material. The electric motors makes lowering and raising the screens effortless. If you can’t enjoy your outdoor living as much as you would like because of winds, rains, and mosquitoes, call Lyfe Outdoor Comfort Solutions to help you design a solution perfectly adapted to your home. We service the whole Tampa Bay area, as well as Orlando, Sarasota, Bradenton, and the localities north or New Port Richey.
Read moreMOTORIZED RETRACTABLE SCREENS CREATE A BETTER EXPERIENCE FOR BAR CLIENTS
The bar at the JW Marriott hotel in Clearwater, FL has a million-dollar view on the shore. But the window structures were not equipped with screens. That bothered patrons in the afternoon when the sun passes its zenith. We installed these motorized progressive Magnatrack retractable screens all along the window wall, providing patrons the comfort they seek during the day and making the bar all the more welcoming. Each screen is individually controlled, so the overall sun exposure of the bar can be controlled by the hotel at any time during the day. These motorized retractable screens are also energy savers: sun rays are blocked at their harshest, reducing the need for air conditioning during the day. Call us to consult us for any patio shading project you have. We will help with the design to develop a custom-engineered shading structure for your home or your business.

HURRICANE SCREENS – A PRACTICAL ANSWER TO WIDE OPEN EXPOSURE
Take a look at this home, located in Wesley Chapel.

This is Ford’s Garage Wesley Chapel, FL, a great restaurant with a menu full of options: salads, shrimps, burgers, nachos, chicken, pork, etc. We installed retractable screens, fully motorized alongside their dining patio. This installation encloses the patio and protects the patrons from the sun and from sudden showers. For the restaurant these retractable screens make a lot of financial sense as their patio can now be used all the time during daytime and evenings, increasing the number of diners served each day. For their patrons, the retractable screens also make sense as their installation gives them a sense of comfort and safety. If you have any space that would boost your revenues if it was enclosed with screens, give us a call to study your project.
Read moreCLOSING POOL PATIO WITH RETRACTABLE SCREENS
In this example of our work, you can see retractable screens in the back of the pool cage. These screens are motorized and can be raised and lowered at the flick of a switch. The house is located in Plant City, FL. Our client wanted to shield the patio in the back of the pool cage for a couple of reasons: 1- When it rained, the pool cage would only limit the volume of rain coming into the patio area, not eliminate it completely. After each monsoon, their patio furniture was wet. And during a shower, their family could not stay outside without getting rained on. 2- During summer, the sun would directly fall on the patio during the day, making it too warm to stay outside and enjoy the pool cage. Our clients didn’t like the UV exposure either. These retractable progressive screens are a great solution to address both concerns, as they stop the rain, filter the sunlight, and provide a cooler area during the day. Also, during the winter season, the screens provide a degree of protection against the cold wind. This family can now enjoy their pool cage at any time during the day, any season of the year. If you live in Plant City or anywhere else in Central and South Florida, and you want a permanent solution to live more outside of your walls, call us to study and design a solution for you.
Read moreCOMMANDING ENCLOSURE FEATURES WITH VOICE?
Our client Chris is playing with his newly installed smart pergolas and screens. The voice-activated louvers and screens are controlled through Alexa. The set-up enables opening and closing the louvers of the pergola, and opening or closing all 3 screens at the same time, or each screen at a time. We install smart pergolas and motorized retractable screens all over Florida. Call us for any advice on a future project.
TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE ON YOUR PATIO?
When your patio faces the sea, you’ll get the sun the whole morning or the whole afternoon. How do you protect yourself from it? With a retractable solar screen. This is what we installed in this home in St. Peterburg, FL. The million-dollar view is fantastic but sometimes you just want the sunset and not the heat of the afternoon exposure. Solar screens cut off the UV and decrease the harsh luminosity and glare. They don’t block your view as you can see in the video. Mounted on tracks that make it possible to raise and lower it without creasing or sliding (unlike in manual mode where your screen slides when you roll it up), the screen is tucked away in a cassette to preserve a clean look. The motorization of the screen enables you to roll it up and down without effort, and there is an override in case of a power outage. Call us to take a look at your situation, see how we could improve your comfort outdoor, and give you an estimate for your project.
Read moreHURRICANE SCREENS: PROTECTING YOUR HOME AGAINST THE FURY OF THE ELEMENTS
Motorized hurricane screens are one of the options available to Floridians to protect their windows from the flying debris that can be hurled at their home by the winds during the hurricane season. Metallic rolling shutters are a great option for commercial venues with very large display windows, but for residential use, these shutters are rather unwieldy and very expensive. Hurricane screens are made of very heavy and highly impact-resistant synthetic canvas. They are mounted in a metal frame affixed to the masonry of a home with multiple points of attachment. When a flying object hurled at your home hits the hurricane screen, the impact is absorbed in part by the flexibility of the screen, and in part by the resistance it opposes to the force of the object. This creates a really good level of protection. These screens are motorized and retractable. They can be partly lowered to prevent direct sun exposure of your indoor space, and they offer a great degree of privacy when fully lowered. Installed on a balcony, they give you full enjoyment of your balcony at any time during the year. If you have a project to install retractable screens in your patio, lanai, balcony, or windows, just give us a call. We will be happy to advise you as to the best way to achieve your purpose and give you a cost estimate.
