About Florida Lanai Curtains

Florida outdoor living is supposed to feel like a retreat—until the sun is relentless, the neighbors are too close, or the "open" feel of your pool cage doesn't feel private anymore.

At Florida Lanai Curtains, we help homeowners all over Florida create a more comfortable outdoor space with custom outdoor privacy curtains and screen enclosure shade solutions designed specifically for Florida lanais, patios, and pool enclosures.

What We Do

We specialize in upgrading outdoor spaces with solutions that look great and work in real-life Florida conditions:

  • Outdoor screen enclosure privacy curtains that open and close by hand and can be positioned along the track when you want an open, cabana-style feel
  • Screen enclosure shade sails (SolaMesh) to reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure while adding color and style
  • Roll-down shade options for "just enough" privacy and sun blocking in the early morning or evening

Our goal is simple: privacy and shade exactly where you need it—without turning your pool cage into a dark box.

Our Mission

Our mission is two-fold:

  • Improve the quality of outdoor living for Florida homeowners
  • Help you create a space where you can shut the world out when you want—with privacy, elegance, and comforting shade for you, your family, and your guests

Our Story

Florida Lanai Curtains was started in 2017 by Merrill and Emily Burrows after Merrill had worked as an installer of Privacy On Demand® outdoor curtain systems and saw how much homeowners loved the flexibility and quality.

Privacy On Demand began in 2007, when the original founder, Scott Lyons, couldn't find a solution for close-neighbor visibility and developed a curtain track system designed for aluminum screen enclosures—eventually receiving a patent for the track system.

In 2018, Merrill and Emily purchased Privacy On Demand and began running Florida Lanai Curtains (sales + installation) alongside Privacy On Demand (manufacturing). That means the products you see—curtains and shade solutions—are custom made by Privacy On Demand and installed by Florida Lanai Curtains.

Materials That Make Sense in Florida

We use materials chosen for harsh sun, humidity, and outdoor wear:

  • Sunbrella® marine canvas and other high-quality waterproof materials commonly used for outdoor applications
  • SolaMesh shade sail fabric in a wide color selection, designed for frequent sun exposure
  • Marine-grade / stainless hardware and fasteners for durability
