Outdoor & Lanai Screens for Southwest Florida Living

In Southwest Florida, the lanai is the best room in the house — when you can actually use it. The right outdoor screens turn an exposed patio or lanai into a comfortable, usable space you reach for every day: shaded from the afternoon sun, free of insects, sheltered from driving rain, and private from the neighbors. Storm Squad designs and installs outdoor screen solutions built for our coast, from simple patio screening to premium motorized systems.

As a division of  Tim Allen Builds, we approach every project as builders first — measuring carefully, anchoring properly, and choosing materials that survive salt air and Gulf sun rather than the cheapest option on the shelf.

The Outdoor Room You Actually Use

An open lanai looks great in a listing photo. In real life, it sits empty half the year — too buggy at dusk, too hot at midday, too wet when the afternoon storms roll through. Outdoor screens fix all three. They extend your living space outward, add value to your home, and make the part of Florida living you bought the house for genuinely usable.

The right solution depends on how you live in the space, your budget, and how much control you want:

  • Motorized retractable screens — premium, push-button screens that drop down when you want them and disappear when you don't. Best for large lanai openings and homeowners who want storm protection plus everyday comfort.
  • Fixed / framed screen enclosures — classic screened-in coverage for porches and patios where a permanent enclosure makes sense.
  • Patio and outdoor screening — solutions for outdoor kitchens, sitting areas, and entertaining spaces that need shade, insect control, and privacy.

Why Quality Matters on the Coast

Cheap outdoor screens fail fast here. Sun-degraded fabric, corroded hardware, and screens that tear loose in the first strong blow are the predictable result of buying on price alone. We spec fabrics rated for UV and longevity, corrosion-resistant components for salt exposure, and proper structural anchoring — so the system you install this year still operates smoothly years from now.

For homeowners who want the highest level of performance, our MagnaTrack motorized screens add a magnetic locking track that keeps the screen engaged under wind load — so the same screens that give you a comfortable lanai on a Tuesday also stand up to a storm.

Sun, Insects, Rain, Privacy — One System

The best outdoor screens earn their keep every single day:
Sun & heat
Cut glare and lower the temperature on west- and south-facing lanais.
Insects
Reclaim dawn and dusk on the lanai without the bugs.
Rain
Keep furniture and floors dry through the afternoon storms.
Privacy
Close off an outdoor room from neighbors and the street.
Storm protection
with motorized MagnaTrack screens, the same system protects large openings when weather turns.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the opening size and how you use the space. For large openings and year-round flexibility, motorized retractable screens (like our MagnaTrack systems) are hard to beat. For smaller or permanently enclosed porches, a fixed screen enclosure may be the better value. We help you choose.
Yes. Our MagnaTrack motorized screens operate by remote, wall switch, or smart-home control, and roll completely out of sight when not in use.
Standard insect screening does not, but motorized MagnaTrack screens are engineered to stay locked under wind load and provide storm protection for large openings [confirm rating]. If protection is a priority, we’ll steer you toward the right system.
When specced correctly, yes. We use UV-rated fabrics and corrosion-resistant hardware chosen for Gulf-coast conditions [confirm specifics].
Pricing varies with the size of the opening, the type of screen, and whether it’s motorized. We provide an itemized quote after measuring.
