Patio Screens in Bluffton
A Bluffton evening on the porch is hard to beat until the mosquitoes and no-see-ums find you. Custom patio screens let you keep the breeze and the view while keeping the bugs out. Southern Custom Shutters is based right here in Bluffton. We measure your porch, lanai, patio or outdoor kitchen, order screens made to fit, and install them ourselves.
Don’t Let the Bugs In
Warm, humid weather and marsh and lagoon views come with insects for much of the year. A well-fitted screen turns an open patio into a space you can actually use from spring into fall, whether that means morning coffee, dinner outside or a place for the grill. We screen residential patios and porches, garage openings, pergolas and outdoor kitchens.
More Than One Kind of Screen
Insect screens are only one option. Depending on how you use the space, you might also consider:
- Clear vinyl screens that block wind and temperature swings while keeping the view, so the porch stays usable on cooler days.
- Sun screens that block up to 99% of intense sunlight on a hot west-facing patio.
- A dual shade system for adaptable shade and privacy as weather changes.
- Hurricane screens for storm protection.
Our article on the benefits of motorized clear vinyl screens covers how clear vinyl extends the outdoor season. We will help you decide what makes sense during the consultation.
Popular Uses Around Bluffton
Most of the screening we are asked about falls into a few situations. One is the covered back porch that gets used every evening once the heat breaks. Another is the lanai next to the kitchen, where screens make it easy to carry food in and out without letting bugs in. A third is the outdoor kitchen or pergola, where the cook wants shelter from insects without losing the open-air feel. Garage openings are popular too, because they become a shaded workshop or hangout space. Each has different openings and different priorities, which is why we start with a visit rather than a price list.
Fitted to Your Openings
Porch and patio openings are rarely standard sizes, and a screen that does not fit lets bugs in at the edges. We measure every opening on site so what we order is built to fit. Full product details are on our insect and patio screens page.
