What the photo shows
The screen spans this opening without a center post. For a different opening, the available space above and at each side matters as much as the span itself.

Motorized opening
One wide opening
Project example
One wide opening, with a screen that rolls away
The photo shows one MaestroShield™ screen lowered across a broad opening beneath an existing roofline. A housing runs above it, with tracks at the sides. Unlike a fixed screen wall, the screen can retract when the opening needs to be clear.
The photo shows the screen in its lowered position. It does not show the control or how this particular system is operated. We confirm control choices, power and mounting details during the site visit.
What to plan
The opening, the mounting points and the controls
Keep the opening flexible
The lowered screen covers this broad opening. A retractable system lets you clear it again, while a fixed screen wall stays in place.
Measure the full opening
Width and height affect the system choice and rough range. A site visit also checks where the housing and tracks can be mounted.
Choose how it will be operated
Motor and control options vary. We discuss where power and controls should go, then identify the selected setup in the written quote.
- What are the opening's width and height?
- Where can the housing and side tracks attach?
- Where is power available, and how do you want to operate the screen?
- What exposure conditions must the selected system suit?
Compare the screen options
The MaestroShield service page explains the retractable option. If you are also considering fixed screening, compare how each would affect daily use of the opening before requesting a quote.
