Exterior Solar Sun Screens

Exterior Solar Sun Screens feature durable, exterior-grade screen fabric and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The high-quality PVC-coated polyester fabric is heat- and fire-resistant and blocks approximately 90–92% of UV rays while still helping preserve your outdoor view.

Each Exterior Solar Sun Screen includes a three-sided oil-rubbed bronze valance for added strength and protection. Shades are available in select 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-foot widths, with the finished fabric narrower than the ordered headrail width. Each shade measures 8 feet high when fully lowered.

The standard pole-operated lift includes a removable 48-inch pole and comes with Wind Flex bungee hold-downs. The bungee system secures both sides of the fabric to help keep the shade in place during light wind conditions. The operating ring is located on the right side of the shade but can be moved to the left.

For added convenience, upgrade to a child- and pet-safe rechargeable motorized lift. The motor plugs into a standard 120V outlet using the included adapter and fully charges in approximately 6–8 hours. A multi-channel programmable remote is included and can operate up to 15 shades. Motorized shades include cable guides.
