Enhancing an Existing Outdoor Space with Shelter and Flexibility

This project involved upgrading an existing brick-pillared outdoor building with retractable screens to improve comfort, usability, and protection from the elements. The addition of automated screening has transformed the structure into a far more versatile outdoor living area. 

Project Specifications

  • Structure: Existing brick-pillared outdoor building
  • System: 4 retractable screens

Features:

  • 4 automated retractable screens
  • Wind sensor for automatic protection
  • Wireless switching for simple day-to-day operation
  • Clean retrofit installation into existing openings

Service Provided: Design, supply, and installation

How We Met the Brief

The client already had a substantial outdoor structure but wanted to make the space more 
usable during windy or changeable weather conditions. 
 
We installed four retractable screens neatly within the brick openings, ensuring the systems 
integrated cleanly with the existing structure. The addition of wireless switching allows quick 
and easy operation, while the wind sensor automatically protects the screens during adverse 
weather. 
 
The result maintains the open feel of the original building while adding flexibility, shelter, 
and privacy whenever needed. 

The Result

The upgraded structure now functions as a far more practical and comfortable outdoor living space. This project demonstrates how retrofit screening systems can significantly improve usability without the need for major structural alterations. 

Excellent service! It has made such a difference with having these screens. We can sit out a lot more now on windy or sunny days. The guys were very professional and helpful! Definitley recommend! – Natalie Clements
