Oasis^® Patio Shades & Outdoor Screen Systems

What are Oasis® patio shades?

Oasis® patio shades are custom exterior roller shade systems designed to make outdoor living spaces more comfortable and enjoyable. Available in multiple configurations, Oasis shades provide protection from harsh sunlight, glare, heat, wind, and insects while preserving views and airflow. They can be installed on patios, porches, pergolas, balconies, outdoor kitchens, and other outdoor living areas.

Are Oasis® patio shades motorized?

Yes. Oasis® patio shades are available with convenient motorized operation, allowing you to raise or lower your shades using a remote control, wall switch, or compatible smart home system. Select models are also available with manual crank operation for homeowners who prefer a non-motorized solution.

What is the difference between Oasis® 2700, 2800, and 2900 systems?

Each Oasis® system is designed for a different application and level of performance. Oasis® 2700 is ideal for small to medium-sized patios and outdoor spaces, offering motorized or manual operation with cable-guided options. Oasis® 2800 is designed for larger openings and can accommodate wider spans with cable guide or track-retained systems. Oasis® 2900 is the premium system featuring ShyZip® side tracks and a four-sided seal designed to help block insects and improve outdoor comfort. During your consultation, our team can help determine which system best fits your space and lifestyle.

Which Oasis® system is best for my patio?

The best Oasis® system depends on the size of your patio, the level of sun protection you need, and whether insect control is a priority. Smaller patios often benefit from the Oasis® 2700, while larger outdoor living spaces may require the Oasis® 2800. Homeowners seeking enhanced insect protection typically choose the Oasis® 2900 with ShyZip® side tracks. Homeowners looking for maximum wind resistance and patented magnetic track technology may also want to consider MagnaTrack™ exterior screens.

Do Oasis® shades help keep bugs out?

Yes. Oasis® 2900 Patio Insect Screens are specifically designed to help keep insects out of outdoor living spaces. The ShyZip® side-track system creates a four-sided seal that helps reduce gaps around the screen, making patios, porches, and outdoor kitchens more comfortable during bug season.

What is the ShyZip® track system?

The ShyZip® system is a zipper-captured side-track design used on Oasis® 2900 screens. The screen fabric is secured within side tracks to help keep the shade aligned and improve insect protection. This system is ideal for homeowners looking to create a more enclosed and comfortable outdoor environment. For homeowners comparing side-track technologies, our MagnaTrack™ screens offer a patented magnetic track system designed for exceptional wind performance.

What are cable-guided patio shades?

Cable-guided patio shades use stainless steel guide cables along each side of the shade to help keep the fabric aligned during operation. Cable-guided systems provide stability while maintaining an open, unobtrusive appearance, making them a popular choice for patios, balconies, pergolas, and outdoor living spaces.

Can Oasis® shades be installed on pergolas?

Yes. Oasis® patio shades can be installed on pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, screened porches, balconies, and many other outdoor structures. Because every shade is custom-manufactured, Oasis systems can be tailored to fit a wide variety of outdoor applications.

Are Oasis® patio shades custom made?

Absolutely. Every Oasis® patio shade is custom-manufactured to fit the exact dimensions of your outdoor space. You can choose from a variety of fabrics, colors, openness levels, operating systems, and hardware options to create a solution that complements your home and lifestyle.

How wide can Oasis® patio shades be?

Maximum widths vary by model. Oasis® systems can accommodate openings ranging from approximately 10 feet wide on entry-level models to as much as 19 feet wide on larger systems. Our team will recommend the best model based on your opening size and performance requirements.

What fabrics and openness levels are available?

Oasis® patio shades are available in a wide selection of outdoor performance fabrics, colors, and openness levels. Different openness factors allow you to balance privacy, glare reduction, visibility, and airflow. During your consultation, we’ll help you select the fabric that best meets your needs for light control and outdoor comfort.

Do Oasis® patio shades reduce heat and glare?

Yes. Oasis® exterior shades help reduce solar heat gain and minimize glare, making outdoor spaces more comfortable throughout the day. By filtering sunlight before it enters your outdoor living area, these shades can help create a cooler environment while still maintaining views to the outdoors.

Can Oasis® shades increase privacy?

Yes. Depending on the fabric and openness level selected, Oasis® patio shades can provide increased daytime privacy while still allowing visibility and airflow. They are an excellent option for homes with close neighbors, exposed patios, or outdoor entertaining spaces.

Are Oasis® patio shades good for lake homes and waterfront properties?

Yes. Oasis® patio shades are a popular choice for lake homes, waterfront properties, and outdoor living spaces with expansive views. They help reduce glare reflecting off the water, improve comfort during sunny afternoons, and provide protection from insects and wind without obstructing the scenery.

How long do Oasis® patio shades last?

Oasis® patio shades are built with durable outdoor-rated components and performance fabrics designed to withstand the elements. With proper care and professional installation, homeowners can expect years of reliable performance. The lifespan of your system will depend on environmental conditions, usage, and the specific model selected.
