If you own a home on Lake Hartwell, you already understand the challenge. While the lake offers unmatched beauty and relaxation, the reality is that the sun can often be relentless during the day, and the bugs can quickly take over in the evening. As a result, the very spaces meant for enjoyment—your porch, deck, or dock—can become difficult to use for much of the year.
For many homeowners, this becomes a frustrating tradeoff. A bright, peaceful morning on the porch can be cut short by intense glare and heat, while a calm evening outdoors may be interrupted by insects. Even time spent on the dock can be limited, as the reflection off the water creates harsh conditions during peak daylight hours.
This is a challenge the team at Carolina Power Screens knows firsthand. As a father-and-son business with a home on Lake Hartwell, they have experienced these same frustrations. After years of dealing with the limitations, they made the decision to find a better solution—not just for themselves, but for others facing the same issue. That effort ultimately led to the creation of Carolina Power Screens.
Their search for quality led them across the country, where they identified Fenetex as the leading manufacturer of motorized retractable screens. Each screen is built in Jacksonville, Florida, with a focus on durability, performance, and long-term reliability. Made in the United States, these products are designed to withstand the elements while enhancing outdoor living spaces.
Carolina Power Screens offers a range of solutions tailored to lakefront properties. Their shade screens can block up to 97 percent of the sun’s glare, significantly reducing heat and improving comfort. Insect screens provide protection during warmer months, allowing homeowners to enjoy evenings outdoors without disruption. Additionally, clear vinyl weather screens help extend the usability of outdoor areas year-round by offering protection from wind and cooler temperatures.
One of the more unique services they provide is the installation of screens on docks—an option many lake homeowners may not realize is available. This innovation allows for a more comfortable and functional dock experience, even during the hottest parts of the day.
All installations are handled directly by the Carolina Power Screens team. By avoiding subcontractors, they maintain full control over the quality of their work and ensure each project meets their standards.
For those who are ready to make the most of their lake home, Carolina Power Screens offers free estimates and consultations. Many customers find themselves wishing they had made the investment sooner after experiencing the difference it brings to their daily enjoyment of Lake Hartwell living.
