Transform Your Patio with a Motorized Retractable Roof System
Outdoor living is a way of life in the Lowcountry. From Savannah’s historic neighborhoods to waterfront homes on Hilton Head Island and St. Simons Island, patios are where families gather, guests entertain, and everyday moments feel a little more special. The challenge is making those spaces comfortable and usable no matter what the coastal weather brings.
That’s where a motorized retractable roof system comes in. Designed for flexibility, durability, and style, these systems allow you to enjoy your patio on your terms. Since 1975, Coastal Canvas Products has helped homeowners and businesses transform outdoor spaces with custom solutions built specifically for coastal environments.
What Is a Motorized Retractable Roof System?
A motorized retractable roof system is an overhead structure that opens and closes at the touch of a button. Unlike fixed roofs or pergolas, retractable systems adapt to changing conditions, giving you full control over sun, shade, and weather protection.
How Homeowners and Businesses Use Them
- Open the roof for sunshine and fresh air
- Close it during rain or intense heat
- Create a shaded retreat during peak summer hours
- Extend outdoor use into cooler months
These systems are especially popular for retractable roof systems in Hilton Head, Savannah patios, and Charleston homes where weather can change quickly.

Through expert custom metal fabrication, Coastal Canvas Products creates retractable roof systems designed to stand up to coastal environments while maintaining a clean, refined look.
