What They Are
Roll-up solar shade and privacy, at the turn of a crank.
Open roller patio shades are the next step up in affordability from fixed screens, offering the same solar protection and privacy with the added ability to roll the shade up and out of sight whenever you want the open patio back.
Operate yours with an easy hand crank, or upgrade to a motorized option for solar protection and privacy at the push of a button. Because the cable-guide design leaves the sides open, these shades are built for sun and privacy rather than full bug sealing. If you want to seal out bugs too, our fixed patio enclosures are the better fit, while fixed screens remain the ideal choice for solar and/or privacy.

FAQ
Common Questions, Straight Answers
Do open roller patio shades keep bugs out?
Open roller shades use cable guides, which leave the sides slightly open, so they're built for solar protection and privacy rather than fully sealing out bugs. If you want full bug protection, ask us about our fixed patio enclosures or motorized patio screens.
Can I get them with a hand crank or a motor?
Both. Open roller shades operate with an easy hand crank, or you can upgrade to motorized push-button control for solar protection and privacy at the push of a button.
What are open roller patio shades best for?
They're a great, affordable way to add solar protection and privacy to a patio, with the bonus of rolling the shade up and out of sight when you want the open space back.
What colors and fabrics are available?
Open roller shades are available in many colors and fabrics, so we can match the look of your home and outdoor space.
