Retractable Vertical Drop Awning Screens FAQ

The FAQ questions and answers below ONLY apply to the retractable screens from Retractableawnings.com and not to any other product type available on our website or from any other vendor.

What are the benefits of retractable drop screens?

Unlike traditional fixed or permanent screens, retractable vertical drop awning screens remain out of sight until they are needed. As stated above, they retract into a discrete optional housing when not in use which preserves your views as well as your home’s décor. In addition, retractable screens are used for privacy and rain protection, sun/UV/heat/glare protection as well as pollen and bug protection.

How do outside drop screens work?

A roll down awning can be operated (raised and lowered) using a detachable crank or a motor. Motorization provides the ultimate in customer convenience.

How much do Vertical Drop Screens cost?

Pricing for vertical drop screens is based on the width and drop of the opening being covered as well as the fabric type that is used, if the vertical drop screens will be manually operated or motorized and other options and accessories. For a quote, based on your needs, please contact Retractableawnings.com here.

Are retractable drop screens easy to install?

Vertical drop screens are probably our easiest product to install. You simply attach the brackets either inside or outside the opening then click the optional header cassette box onto the brackets. Once that is done, you attach the vertical side channels, stainless steel aircraft cables or hold down brackets either inside or outside the opening and that is it! Simple, right?

How easy are vertical drop awnings to clean and maintain?

Since retractable screens can be hidden away while not in use, the amount of maintenance a drop awning requires is therefore very minimal. We recommend cleaning the retractable vertical drop screens once or twice a season to eliminate any small dust particles on the frame, in the mesh or on the solid PVC or other fabric types. You can clean our retractable vertical drop screens with mild detergent and water, and gently wipe them off. No maintenance is required on the motors as they are all self lubricating.

How waterproof are retractable screen awnings?

A vertical retractable privacy screen with a cassette box and zippered side channels is 99% waterproof (not water resistant) as long as a waterproof fabric such as Ferrari 502 Satin Precontraint or similar fabric is used. If a mesh fabric is used they are not waterproof and are designed for sun/UV/glare/heat protection only.

Do these vertical awnings keep mosquitos out?

Depending on what mesh type you choose - yes! The holes in our vertical drop awnings mesh are very small and protect against most bugs. For superior insect protection, especially from no-see-ums a/k/a sand flies, you need to choose a mesh-like Phifer No-See-Um which protects against tiny insects. All solid, opaque, non-mesh fabrics will keep all bug types out regardless of bug size.
