At Social Outdoor Living, we help families across Lafayette, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Metairie, Mandeville, Madisonville, and Covington transform underused patios and decks into cozy, winter-ready sanctuaries, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The key? Custom retractable patio screens that block cold winds, bugs, and debris, while letting fresh air, natural light, and outdoor charm shine through.
Here’s how to make every season, especially the holidays, a reason to step outside.
Unlike fixed enclosures or makeshift curtain setups, motorized retractable screens offer flexible protection and polished style with the push of a button. Designed to work seamlessly with pergolas and patio covers, these screens transform open patios into adaptable, enclosed retreats, without permanent walls or heavy renovations.
Here’s what makes them a winter essential for Southern living:
For our ideal clients, professionals, retirees, and families who take pride in their homes, these screens are more than upgrades. They’re investments in a lifestyle centered on comfort, connection, and beautiful outdoor living.
Winter holidays in Louisiana might not bring snow drifts, but they do bring crisp breezes, early sunsets, and the perfect excuse to gather around a fire pit or outdoor heater. With retractable screens enclosing your space, those gatherings feel even more magical.
Picture this:
Twinkling string lights draped along the ceiling, soft throws over weatherproof seating, and the aroma of roasted turkey or gumbo in the air. Children laugh under warm blankets, and guests linger longer, all because your space is protected and welcoming.
When you combine these touches with the insulation-like effect of retractable screens, your outdoor area doesn’t just survive the winter; it thrives through it.
Whether through remote control or even voice commands, you can effortlessly retract or extend the screen to suit your needs. No struggling with manual screens or dealing with cumbersome cords and pulleys. The motorized feature provides seamless, hassle-free operation, allowing you to easily adjust the screen as needed, without disrupting your gathering or your relaxation.
Motorized retractable patio screens provide unmatched versatility for your outdoor lifestyle. You can enjoy adjustable shade, privacy, and protection from insects, all tailored to your specific comfort preferences. Whether you want to feel the breeze, escape the sun’s glare, or dine al fresco bug-free, these screens allow you to adapt your space effortlessly to any weather or moment.
Retractable patio screens significantly extend the usability and enjoyment of your patio, making it functional for longer periods throughout the day and year. With shade, comfort, and peace of mind, you can relax, entertain guests, or enjoy meals without distraction. Plus, the elegant design of our screens enhances the overall aesthetic of your space, elevating it into a true backyard retreat.
Retractable screens from Social Outdoor Living are tailored to fit your home’s existing layout and aesthetic. These screens come in a range of colors, materials, and opacities, so you can choose the level of visibility, privacy, and sun protection that suits your lifestyle.
And because they retract completely when not in use, they preserve your outdoor space’s open feel during milder weather, with no bulky hardware, no visual clutter.
We design around your goals, whether you’re creating an intimate space for family dinners or an entertainer’s dream setup for tailgating, birthdays, or New Year’s Eve.
Our climate is unpredictable. One day it’s sunny and mild, the next a cold front rolls in with rain and wind. That’s why Social Outdoor Living installs only high-performance retractable screens designed for year-round durability.

They also protect furniture, rugs, and décor from UV damage and fading, extending the life of your investment and keeping your home looking sharp, season after season.
