Please describe the project specifications

Motorized residential retractable back yard patio structure measuring 26’ 9 1/2" wide x 16' projection. Three mesh retractable sidewalls along the front and one in the rear using Ferrari Soltis 86. The two solid retractable sidewall panels on the right side are Ferrari 602 blockout fabric. The roof is fabricated with Ferrari 602 and contains 2 bays. There are 8’ steel posts supporting the structure. One remote will control all motorized panels.

The homeowner requested a solution to providing a 3 Season room for their patio to allow for entertaining.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The motorized retractable sidewalls and roof panels not only provide shade and weather protection but can be a comfortable environment year-round. Also allows for additional living space and easy access to the backyard.

The client is very pleased with the design and the remote accessibility to accommodate any weather situation.
