Bug Screen or Patio Shade?
It’s both! Oasis 2900 is a hard-working dual-duty outdoor roller shade made with a choice of exterior-rated solar screen, insect screen, or privacy fabric. Also known as a zipper shade or retractable enclosure screen, the Oasis 2900 elevates your outdoor living space and is manufactured by roller shade specialist Insolroll in Louisville, Colorado.
A retractable motorized mosquito screen for your patio.
Don’t let bugs ruin your patio time! This roll up mosquito screen is sealed at the edges, top, and bottom to keep insects out and create an enclosed space when the shade is down. When the shade is retracted it leaves an open-air barrier-free space.
It’s a patio sun shade that blocks glare, heat, UV, and golf balls.
With solar screen mesh fabric, Oasis 2900 not only keeps bugs out of your patio, it controls the sun to make your patio more comfortable. Stay cooler, enjoy a better view through the screen without glare, and protect your patio furniture from UV damage and fading. Oasis 2900 stops flying golf balls for residences near golf courses.

Built-in Oasis 2900 Motorized Mosquito Screens
Building a new patio structure? Insolroll has built-in options for your patio bug screen shades.
Built-in outdoor patio shades have the cleanest, most minimal appearance available, and disappear into a pocket cavity or extruded aluminum pocket above the ceiling when retracted. No head box is required, and the patio bug screens are almost invisible, preserving all of the available opening for open viewing.
When a patio space is being built, a cavity known as a pocket can be built into the ceiling above a patio opening. This pocket houses the roller and shade fabric, with wiring hidden above. When the motorized Oasis 2900 bug screen retracts, it neatly rolls up into the pocket and out of sight.
Recessed side tracks
For an even more refined built-in look, recessed side tracks allow Oasis 2900’s zipper tracks to be flush with the columns of your patio. Wood, brick, masonry, and stucco columns can be beautifully detailed for the cleanest possible appearance.

The Benefits of Retractable Screens vs. Fixed Screens
Everyone is familiar with the classic screened-in porch–it keeps bugs out of a semi-outdoor space so you can enjoy a beautiful afternoon and evening outside. The down-side is that you’re stuck with the screens all the time. Oasis 2900 Retractable Insect Screen Shades by Insolroll change the game by rolling up out of sight for an open-air patio when insects are not a problem. It’s almost like having 2 completely separate spaces.
- 4-sided seal when deployed vs. open-air patio when retracted
- Screens down for enclosed space
- Screens up for easy pass-through
- Completely retractable for spaces like garages or other large openings
- Sun and UV protection when solar screen fabric is used
- More privacy control
- Solar Screen and Insect Screen are easier to clean than traditional fixed screens
