Motorized Screens with Cable Guide

Published on May 2, 2026

The cable guide system is what we recommend when a homeowner wants the cleanest possible look on a motorized screen. Instead of bulky side tracks running down the columns of your lanai, two thin stainless steel cables hold the screen in place. From a few feet away, you barely notice them.

This option works best on covered outdoor spaces where you want the view as open as possible — waterfront patios, pool decks with nice landscaping, outdoor kitchens. The trade-off is that cable guide handles wind a little differently than tracked screens, so we’ll talk through which version makes sense for your specific spot during the in-home consultation.
