What we build

In Florida, screening is often the difference between an outdoor space that looks great in photos and one your family actually lives in. Hansen Crafted Outdoors offers motorized screens, motorized shade screens, and outdoor privacy screens for lanais, patios, pergolas, and full outdoor living spaces across Tampa Bay and the Gulf Coast.

Every screening system is planned as part of the architecture, not an afterthought. Screen fabrics and details are specified so the finished space feels intentional and complements the rest of your home.

Who screening is for

If mosquitoes, no-see-ums, pollen, or leaves are keeping you inside, screening is usually the fastest and highest-ROI upgrade you can make to an outdoor space. It's especially valuable for pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and evening lounges where bugs would otherwise cut the night short.

Materials and weather considerations

We specify screen fabrics and framing rated for Florida sun, humidity, and storm exposure, including no-see-um mesh, pet-resistant screen, and heavier options for coastal or storm-prone properties.

Careful mesh selection also protects against harsh UV, which can otherwise fade furniture and surfaces underneath. We help you balance airflow, view preservation, and durability.

How screening pairs with the rest of your outdoor space

Screening is often paired with a new pergola, outdoor kitchen, or full outdoor living build so the whole space is planned as one system. Planning screening alongside the structures around it helps everything look and work together seamlessly.

Where we offer motorized screens

We serve Saint Petersburg, Tampa, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota county communities.
