Patio screens in Trophy Club · Texas
Golf-course lots, wind off the fairway.
Trophy Club patios look out on a fairway or a greenbelt, which means open ground and more wind than a fenced yard sees. Zipper-track screens hold in it, and a wind sensor raises them when it blows too hard. We measure, make and install from Farmers Branch, about thirty-five minutes up 114.
The houses, and what suits them.
Brick and stone with covered patios open to a course or a greenbelt, outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, and side openings beside a grill. Dark screens on the brick, a single screen per opening, with a wind sensor on the exposed elevations.
Light on light, dark for the view.
Black or charcoal on the brick, where the view to the fairway is the point. A stone fireplace wall usually gets a fixed panel beside the screened opening.

What Trophy Club homeowners ask us first.
How do the screens handle the wind off the course?
The fabric edge is welded into a zipper that rides inside the side tracks, so the screen is held on three sides and does not flap. The supplier rates them to about 35 to 40 mph; above that, raise them, and a wind sensor on the house does it on its own.
Do I need HOA approval in Trophy Club?
Usually yes for anything on the exterior, and most associations approve screens on the rear elevation when the frame color matches the trim. We give you a one-page submittal with the frame color, the fabric and a photo of a similar installation, which is what the architectural committee wants to see.
Can screens go on a house that is already finished?
Yes, and most of our work is. The housing surface-mounts above the opening and the side tracks go on the face of the posts or jambs, with 120 V brought to the motor end. Recessed, hidden housings are for new construction, planned before the ceiling closes.
How long does it take?
Three to four weeks from the deposit to installation, most of it the screens being made to your measurements in Richardson. Installation is usually a day.

A Dallas patio sits empty from June to September for three reasons — the afternoon sun, the insects, and the wind. Exterior screens answer all three, then come up out of sight when the evening turns pleasant.
Guide · Motorized Screens · Zip-Track & WindZipper-Track Screens and the Texas Wind
What holds a motorized screen in place when the wind comes up is the track. Here is how a zipper-track screen works, what it handles, and the honest limit — plus the sensor that raises it before a storm can do any harm.
Guide · Automation · ELAN, Control4 & SomfyScreens on the Same App as Your House
Because Outdoor Shades is a Blue Note A/V company, your patio screens do not have to live on a separate remote. They run on the same control system as the house — on a timeclock, a keypad, or the app you already use.
Guide · Pricing · One Written PriceWhat Patio Screens Cost, and What Sets the Price
We do not post a single price, because there is not one — each opening is measured and made for it. But the things that move the number are no mystery. Here is what sets the cost of patio screens, and how we quote it.
