Porches & Decks

Motorized screens for porch

11 years ago

We are seriously considering a Phantom Screens product for our new build and wondered if anyone here had any experience with them or with a similar product. We first saw this concept at a recent builder open house event we attended, and we fell in love. The cost of it all has us looking for alternatives though. Of course, if these guys are the only game in town we'll be coughing up the money anyway, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check around.

Here is a link that might be useful: Phantom Screens

It depends on the size of the porch of course, but the size we need will cost about $7-8k.

I am starting to investigate this type of motorized screening for my back deck. We have a great view, but the bugs keep us from enjoying it. Looking for a 2017 update on motorized screens. Has anyone had them installed on a deck, patio or porch and can you recommend a brand and/or give a ball-park figure? Our deck is 20' x 12'.
