Retractable Screens

LOVE these retractable screens

These retractable screens look great (beautifully designed to complement the pergola), do their job (filter sunlight while still letting us appreciate the view), and were pretty easy to install! We had contractors put up the pergola itself (we are not that DIY), but we were able to install the screens ourselves. It helped that Pergolux had a video on screen installation that we used instead of the illustrated instructions. While 1 person could do almost the entire installation on their own, a 2nd person was needed when we had to lift the screen into place and clip it in. It's a little unclear in the description, but this screen allows you to lower it 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (i.e., it has pre-set lock-ins where the screen will stop). My only "complaint" is that I'm too short to reach the screen and I have to use a step-stool when I want to pull it down - but that's what you get when the pergola is 8-ft tall and I'm 5-ft tall. Easily solved and we love these screens, they make the pergola entirely usable in the summertime by blocking the sun in the late afternoon.

The screen is great and works well for privacy and blocking the sun, if your assembling this yourself find strong friends, this unit weighs ALOT, lifting it over head is not easy
