Custom patio and porch screen systems for covered outdoor spaces, large openings and everyday comfort. Lower the screen when you want insect protection, shade or privacy, then retract it when you want the space open again.
If an existing covered patio or porch becomes uncomfortable because of insects, direct sun or a lack of privacy, a custom screen system can make the space easier to use without permanently closing off the view.
Retracta Screen of the Carolinas helps Spartanburg homeowners compare motorized retractable screens, fixed screens and complementary outdoor-living products based on the opening, mounting conditions and the way the space is used. The goal is a system that looks intentional, operates smoothly and solves the comfort problem that matters most.

Homeowners searching for patio screens or porch screens may need very different solutions. The right choice depends on whether the screen should disappear when not in use, remain permanently in place, reduce sun exposure or provide more seasonal protection.
Lower the screen when you want insect protection, shade or privacy and retract it when you want an open patio. Motorized operation is especially convenient for large covered openings.
Keep a covered porch flexible. Retractable mesh can screen the opening when needed while preserving a more open view when the system is raised.
For openings that do not need to open and close, fixed screening can provide dependable insect protection with a clean, purpose-built fit.
You may not need the same type of permanent enclosure for every opening. If you already have a suitable covered porch or patio, custom screen systems can provide insect protection while preserving the character and openness of the space.
Retractable screens are a strong option when you want the ability to completely reopen an area. Fixed screens can make sense for smaller sections that can remain screened all the time. Some projects may combine both approaches.
The appropriate system depends on the existing structure and mounting surfaces. A consultation is the best way to determine what can be installed on a specific porch or patio.
Before recommending a patio or porch screen system, we look at the practical details that affect fit and operation.
Screens are only one part of outdoor comfort. Depending on the space, sun exposure and seasonal goals, another product or a combination of products may make more sense. Explore the options below or visit the complete product hub.

Use insect mesh to create a more comfortable place to dine, relax or entertain while maintaining airflow and visibility.
Solar mesh and exterior shade products can make a patio or porch more comfortable when direct sunlight is the main concern.
Privacy-oriented fabrics can reduce visibility into the space, while clear vinyl can be considered when additional weather protection is needed.
Every opening is different. These examples show how screens, shades and related products can work with different outdoor spaces, architectural styles and comfort goals.
