Magna Track screens review: a Lakewood Ranch family finally uses their lanai
Among the Magna Track screens reviews on this site, this one from a Lakewood Ranch family comes up a lot when people ask whether motorized screens are worth the upgrade over what their builder installed.
The Reyes family wrote in after about a year with their screens. Their builder-grade lanai screening was fine for keeping out the occasional bug, but it did nothing for the late afternoon sun, and it sagged within a couple seasons. “We had a beautiful lanai we couldn’t use half the day,” their review said. “By four o’clock the sun made it an oven.”
What they wanted was control, and that’s what the Magna Track screens gave them. These are motorized retractable screens. Down for shade and bug protection, up and out of sight when they want the lanai fully open. The mother’s review singled out the magnetic track: “I’d seen neighbors with screens that whipped around in the wind. These hold flat. No flapping, no gap at the edges where bugs get in.”
They gave the experience five stars and mentioned the one-day install and the fact that the crew set one screen on a wall switch by the kitchen door so they wouldn’t have to hunt for a remote. The detail in their review that stuck with us: “The kids do homework out there now. We eat dinner out there most nights. It went from a space we avoided to the room we actually live in.”
That outcome shows up repeatedly in our Magna Track screens reviews from new-construction communities like Lakewood Ranch. Builder screens get people partway. The motorized Magna Track system is the upgrade that turns a sometimes-usable lanai into an everyday one.
