We just contracted with Shade Brothers for motorized screens. We went with them as they had the highest wind rating of the companies I received estimates. Our neighbors had theirs down for the last hurricane with no problems even though they had a support beam on their birdcage break loose from the wind.

I currently have manual Coolaroo's from Lowe's and they work ok for shade but they don't handle wind very well. A little bit of a pain pulling the chain to raise and lower them but they are about 90% cheaper than the motorized screens. We are getting a pool so since they are attached to the lanai screen framing they will be coming down.
