Screens around an outdoor kitchen that keep bugs out of the food, with clearances planned for heat, smoke and grills.
Cooking outside is a pleasure until the flies and gnats arrive. Screens around an outdoor kitchen keep insects away from the food, the counters and the people, and they keep leaves and debris off the cooking area. Retractable screens do it while leaving the space open on perfect nights.
We plan screens for kitchens with heat in mind. Grills, side burners and pizza ovens create hot zones, and fabric and housings must stay safely away from them. We study the layout, set the clearances, choose heat-tolerant fabric where appropriate and place screens along the sides that face the yard, leaving ventilation paths intact. We also think about how the cook moves. A screen that lowers behind the grill station should never trap heat or smoke, so we plan the open paths for airflow and keep the side nearest the cooking zone easy to raise with one touch. Dining and serving sides can stay screened all evening, which gives you the best of both: a protected table and a ventilated grill.
Fabric must stay a safe distance from grills and burners. We measure the layout and follow the maker guidance for appliance clearances.
Cooking creates smoke, so we keep hoods and vents clear and recommend raising screens near the grill when it is in heavy use.
Fine mesh keeps flies away from prep areas, and easy-clean fabric makes wiping splashes simple.
Screens on the dining side and open sides near the grill keep the cook connected to the party.

You tell us about the patio, the bugs or sun that bother you and the timeline, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the patio, feel the sun, check the beams and columns, show fabric samples and talk through the layout.
We measure every opening carefully, write a proposal and coordinate any association approvals or electrical permits.
Your screens are made to size, then housings, tracks and motors are mounted and wired.
We set limits, pair remotes and keypads, check the seals and test every screen through full cycles.
We show you every control, share care tips and leave you to enjoy your first evening outside.
Yes, with safe clearances. We follow appliance guidance and raise screens when needed.
Raising the nearest screen lets smoke escape. We discuss habits at handover.
Yes. A soft brush and mild soap handle most splashes.
The screens need a roof or beam to mount to. We can advise on options.
Not when clearances are respected.
