Screens for Every Need
From UV protection and insect defense to full four-season enclosures, MagnaTrack offers a solution for every outdoor challenge Idaho throws at you.
Solar Protection
Mesh selections block 70–97% of harmful UV rays while providing shade and cooling on the hottest Idaho days. Reduce indoor heat gain and lower your cooling costs without sacrificing your view of the foothills.
Insect Defense
Enjoy your outdoor space without the bugs. MagnaTrack insect screens safeguard against flies, mosquitoes, tiny bugs, and noseeums while maximizing airflow through your patio or pergola.
Privacy Screens
Reduce visibility from neighbors and passersby without compromising natural light. Weather-resistant privacy fabrics give you the seclusion you want while keeping your outdoor space open and inviting.
Commercial Vinyl
Year-round comfort for restaurants, bars, and commercial patios. Vinyl screens provide temperature control and energy savings so your customers can enjoy the space hot or cold, rain or shine.
Four-Season Patio
Transform your covered patio into a true four-season living space. Combine solar, insect, and vinyl screens to create an outdoor room that works from the first warm day of spring through the last cold night of fall.
Outdoor Movie Screen
Use your MagnaTrack screen as a movie projector surface for outdoor movie nights with friends and family. The flat, taut fabric creates a surprisingly good projection surface.

How MagnaTrack Works
Unlike traditional exterior screens that rely on zippers, cables, or tension systems, MagnaTrack uses powerful rare-earth neodymium magnets embedded along both edges of the screen fabric. As the screen lowers, these magnets snap into precision-machined aluminum tracks mounted on each side of the opening — creating a seal that holds through 75 MPH winds.
Self-Tensioning Magnetic Track
The screen fabric expands under wind pressure, and neodymium magnets automatically re-tension it back into the track. No manual adjustment needed.
10x Pulling Force
Rare earth neodymium magnets deliver ten times the pulling force of conventional systems, keeping the screen locked in place through extreme conditions.
Keder Interlock — Zero Zippers
The patented keder interlock system eliminates zippers entirely. No jams, no snags, no hang-ups, no re-wraps. The most common failure points simply don't exist.
Self-Adjusting Sidetracks
The free-floating magnet track prevents bellowing in wind. When dislodged by impact, the screen self-corrects and snaps back into the track automatically.
Engineering That Sets the Standard
Every component is designed for durability and low maintenance. This is why MagnaTrack owners report 98% fewer service calls than owners of competing systems.
Double Felt System
Brushes off dirt and debris on every cycle, preventing insect entry and keeping the track clean for smooth operation.
Glass-Filled Nylon End Caps
Eliminates corrosion at connection points — a common failure on competing aluminum-only systems.
Super Heavy Weight Bar
The heaviest weight bar in the industry with retention locks. Keeps the screen taut and prevents wind lift at the bottom edge.
Stainless Steel Fasteners
Every fastener is stainless steel for rust-free performance. Combined with the thickest extruded aluminum housing in the category.
Smart Home Ready, Right Out of the Box
MagnaTrack screens are powered by Gaposa — one of the most advanced and reliable home automation motor systems in the world. Every screen integrates seamlessly with your existing smart home ecosystem, giving you effortless control from anywhere.
Obstacle Detection
Built-in sensors stop the motor if the screen encounters resistance, preventing rewrap situations.
App Control
Control up to 32 screens from the Gaposa Roll Up App on your phone or tablet.
Scheduling
Set up to 10 automated schedules — screens go up or down with the sun, no manual input needed.
3rd Party Integration
Works with Lutron, Savant, Control4, and Crestron home automation systems.
Remote Options
Choose from hand-held remotes, in-wall keypads, or full app control — whatever fits your lifestyle.
