Azenco Outdoor Integrates Motorized Screens Into R-WEAVE™ Pergola, Enhancing Outdoor Enclosures

Azenco Outdoor, a manufacturer of outdoor structure systems, has expanded the configuration options for its R-WEAVE™ line by introducing a built-in motorized screen system developed in partnership with MagnaTrack. The R-WEAVE™ becomes the third Azenco Outdoor structure to offer Integrated Screens, following the R-BLADE™ motorized louvered pergola and the R-SHADE™ insulated patio cover. The configuration is available immediately for both residential and commercial specifications.

The R-WEAVE™ is a motorized retractable fabric pergola engineered for outdoor living and hospitality environments. With the MagnaTrack integration, the structure supports drop-down screens that operate within the same framework as the overhead canopy, eliminating the need for separate freestanding or add-on screen hardware. The outcome is a pergola with integrated screen capability that functions as a single coordinated enclosure system rather than a set of independent components.

MagnaTrack, recognized for its tensioned screen systems used in architectural applications, developed the screen mechanism specifically for installation within the R-WEAVE™ frame. The screens are motorized and deploy vertically along the pergola's perimeter, giving users independent control over light exposure, insect entry, and wind conditions - separate from the roof canopy operation. When not in use, the screens retract fully into housing built into the structure, maintaining a clean profile.

"We built R-WEAVE™ for people who want the sky when the weather allows it," said Charles Chapus, CEO of Azenco Outdoor. "Integrated Screens complete that idea, because a space that can open fully should also be able to close fully. Bringing the screens in at the design stage rather than adding them afterward is what makes the difference."

The built-in motorized screens pergola configuration is designed to accommodate a range of installation scenarios. For residential projects, the system allows homeowners to use a covered outdoor space across variable weather conditions without requiring separate screen enclosures. For commercial installations such as restaurant terraces, hotel courtyards, and event venues, the integrated setup reduces the visible hardware footprint while maintaining functional control over the environment beneath the canopy.

The R-WEAVE™'s overhead fabric is waterproof, meaning the waterproof fabric pergola structure already provides overhead rain protection when the canopy is deployed. The addition of perimeter screens extends that protective envelope to the sides, allowing the space to remain usable during light rain, high UV exposure, or periods of insect activity - without requiring a fully enclosed room-style structure. The motorized operation of both the canopy and the screens can be managed through compatible control systems, reducing the need for manual adjustment.

The MagnaTrack screen option is now available as a specified configuration for the retractable fabric pergola, meaning it can be included in project drawings and quotes at the design stage rather than retrofitted after installation. Azenco Outdoor has made the configuration accessible through both residential dealer channels and commercial project pipelines. The R-WEAVE™ with integrated screens is available in multiple sizing formats to match standard outdoor footprints, and the pergola structure retains its existing attachment and freestanding installation options with the screen system in place. Specifiers and contractors can request configuration details and dimensional specifications through Azenco Outdoor's standard project inquiry process.

This announcement is significant for the outdoor living and hospitality industries as it streamlines the process of creating fully functional, weather-resistant outdoor spaces. By integrating screens at the design stage, Azenco Outdoor addresses common pain points such as add-on hardware clutter and inconsistent enclosures. For Texas businesses, where outdoor dining and entertainment are popular, this innovation could enhance customer comfort and extend the usability of outdoor areas, potentially boosting revenue and customer satisfaction. The collaboration with MagnaTrack underscores the trend toward sophisticated, integrated outdoor solutions that blend aesthetics with practicality.
