Key Takeaways

  • Outdoor comfort is psychological, not just physical.
    Small annoyances like bugs, glare, wind, and pollen quietly influence how long people stay outside—or whether they use the space at all.

  • Unpredictable conditions discourage daily use.
    When an outdoor space can’t be relied on to feel comfortable, homeowners naturally retreat indoors where conditions are controlled.

  • Screens reduce friction and make relaxation easier.
    By limiting environmental distractions, screens allow people to settle in, stay longer, and enjoy outdoor spaces without constant adjustments.

  • Retractable systems change behavior by adding flexibility.
    The ability to open or close a space based on time of day, weather, or activity encourages more frequent, year-round use.

  • The most used outdoor spaces are the ones that adapt.
    Comfort, control, and predictability matter more than size or style when it comes to how often an outdoor area is truly enjoyed.
