Boating enthusiasts know the value of keeping their vessels protected from sun, wind, and pests—especially when stored right on the water. In Oxford, MD, one homeowner wanted a practical yet attractive way to safeguard their boathouse while maintaining open views of the bay. The solution? Custom motorized screen, seamlessly integrated into the structure for beauty, protection, and convenience.
Smart Protection on the Water
Upgraded with a motorized screen enclosure that retracts up and down at the touch of a button. This screen acts as a protective barrier, shielding the boat from harsh UV rays, wind-driven rain, and unwanted pests. At the same time, the screen maintains clear visibility—allowing light and breezes to filter through without closing off the space.
Style That Blends Seamlessly
The screen was chosen in a sleek charcoal finish that complements the natural wood and cedar shake siding of the boathouse. From the outside, the enclosure looks like it was part of the original design. From the inside, the screens provide shade and comfort without sacrificing the beautiful waterfront view.
Year-Round Benefits for Boaters
Whether the family is heading out on the water, relaxing by the dock, or storing their vessel for the season, these motorized screens deliver year-round advantages:
- UV & weather protection for the boat’s interior and finishes
- Reduced pests while docked or entertaining near the water
- Effortless convenience with remote-controlled operation
- Extended enjoyment of the boathouse space in comfort
Elevating Waterfront Living
For this Oxford homeowner, the upgrade was about more than just protecting a valuable investment—it was about peace of mind and comfort. Now, their boat and boathouse are ready for every season, while still embracing the open, scenic lifestyle of waterfront living.
