The better outdoor room
Comfort that rolls completely out of sight.
Motorized screens give you the freedom to change the feel of an outdoor space in seconds. Lower them for shade, privacy, or protection from insects. Raise them for an uninterrupted view.
The right installation belongs to the architecture. Housing, tracks, power, controls, mesh, and frame finishes should be planned as part of the room—not added as an afterthought.
Comfort at the touch of a button
One system. Three ways to live better.
We help match the screen material to what matters most in the space, from airflow and visibility to sun control and privacy.
Solar screens
Filter intense sun and reduce glare to create a more usable space during the brightest hours.
Privacy screens
Add seclusion when you want it, then roll the screen away when the view is the main event.
Designed into the space
The best details are the ones that quietly belong.
Every screen opening is different. The system should fit the structure, finish cleanly, and operate naturally with the rest of the outdoor room.
Made-to-measure fit
Each opening is measured in the field so tracks, housing, and bottom bar align with the architecture.
Guided side tracks
Side-retention details help the mesh travel smoothly and stay aligned through everyday operation.
Clean integration
Low-profile housings and coordinated frame finishes help the system recede into the structure.
Flexible controls
Available control options may include a wall switch, handheld remote, or compatible smart control.
Mesh and finish choices
Material openness, color, and frame selections are matched to visibility, airflow, sun, and privacy goals.
Professional setup
The finished system is tested, adjusted, and demonstrated so every opening is ready to use.
Motorized screen inspiration
Designed around the view—not in front of it.
Why Higher Ground
The screen matters. So does everything around it.
Higher Ground approaches motorized screens as part of a complete outdoor-living project. We account for the structure, mounting surfaces, access to power, drainage, surrounding finishes, and the way the room should look when the screens are raised.

We study the openings, mounting conditions, clearances, views, sun exposure, and relationship to the home.
Integrated outdoor design
Screens can be coordinated with covered rooms, decks, patios, pergolas, kitchens, lighting, and other comfort features.
Power and control coordination
We plan access to power and control locations early so the finished installation stays clean.
Experienced construction oversight

A more useful backyard

Questions homeowners ask
Clear answers before you choose a system.
Every home and opening is different. These answers are a useful starting point for planning motorized screens around Lake Norman.
Can motorized screens work with an existing patio?
In many cases, yes. We assess the structure, mounting surfaces, opening dimensions, and access to power before recommending a configuration.
How are motorized screens controlled?
Depending on the selected system, controls may include a wall switch, handheld remote, or compatible smart-home option.
What mesh styles and colors are available?
Mesh openness, material, and color vary by application. We help compare visibility, airflow, solar filtering, insect protection, and privacy in the context of your space.
Can screens be added to a covered porch or pergola?
Often, yes. The structure needs suitable openings, mounting conditions, clearances, and power access. We evaluate those details before design.
Do motorized screens require power?
Yes. We coordinate the applicable electrical requirements and control locations as part of planning the installation.
How long does installation take?
Timing depends on the number and size of openings, product configuration, site preparation, power access, manufacturing, delivery, and surrounding construction.
