Create a more comfortable outdoor living space with this grey breathable retractable screen, designed to provide adjustable shade and additional privacy for patios, verandahs, terraces and suitable outdoor entertaining areas. Measuring 3m x 2.5m including brackets, it combines breathable mesh fabric with a sturdy aluminium frame and convenient manual operation.
The mesh construction allows air to pass through while helping reduce direct sunlight. Meanwhile, the supplied hand crank rod lets you raise or lower the screen according to your needs, without requiring an electrical connection.

Breathable Mesh Fabric for Shade and Airflow
Unlike a solid outdoor barrier, this retractable screen features breathable mesh fabric that allows air to circulate through the material.
It helps reduce direct sunlight entering a suitable patio or verandah while maintaining ventilation, making it a practical option for warm-weather outdoor living.
The supplier also describes the fabric as UV-resistant and tear-resistant. However, no tested UPF classification, UV-blocking percentage or specific fabric composition has been provided.
As a result, this screen should not be treated as a completely opaque shade, a waterproof barrier or a substitute for other appropriate sun protection.
Adjustable Outdoor Privacy for Patios and Verandahs
The grey mesh screen can also help create a more private atmosphere in selected outdoor spaces.
For example, lower the screen along a suitable patio opening to reduce direct views from nearby areas while maintaining some airflow.
Privacy performance depends on the fabric’s openness, viewing direction and lighting conditions. During the evening, particularly when the screened area is illuminated, visibility through the material may increase.
Therefore, this retractable screen is best described as providing additional privacy rather than complete visual concealment.
Manual Crank Operation and Aluminium Frame
The screen features an aluminium frame and a manual hand-crank mechanism for adjusting the fabric.
Lower the screen when shade or additional privacy is required, then raise it when you prefer a more open outdoor space.
Because the operating system is manual, no electric motor, remote control or electrical wiring is required.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when operating the crank. Keep hands and loose objects clear of moving components, and avoid forcing the mechanism if the screen becomes obstructed.
Wall Installation and Weather Safety
This retractable screen requires assembly and secure mounting onto a structurally suitable supporting surface.
Mounting: The supplier describes included wall brackets. Confirm the supplied fixings, approved mounting materials and required installation clearances before assembly.
Dimensions: The overall size is listed as 3m x 2.5m, including brackets. The exact fabric width, maximum screen drop and bracket positions should be checked against the manufacturer’s installation diagram.
Weather conditions: Retract and secure the screen during strong winds, storms and severe weather. The supplier has not provided a tested wind-resistance rating.
Important: Although the fabric may reduce some exposure to moving air, it must not be relied upon as a structural wind barrier or storm-protection screen.
Maintenance: Gently clean the mesh according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regularly inspect the brackets, frame and operating mechanism for looseness, wear or damage.
