Kenosha Outdoor Living Guide: Beat Lake Michigan Winds With MagnaTrack™ Screens
Morning coffee on the deck, rooftop cocktails at sunset—Kenosha life revolves
around the lake. But 30 mph shoreline gusts and summer gnats
can send everyone scurrying indoors. Here’s how MagnaTrack™ motorized screens
reclaim your patio 10 months a year.
Lake Michigan Wind + Bugs: A Dual Threat
Local NOAA data shows on-shore winds average 12–15 mph in
Kenosha but spike past 30 mph during afternoon thermals and summer storm lines.
Add buzzing midges (famous during early June) and mosquito swarms from the Pike
River wetlands, and even a high-end deck can feel unusable.
Traditional zipper-track screens flap, jam, and tear. MagnaTrack’s
floating magnet rails let the fabric flex under pressure, then
self-realign. Tested to 75 mph, they’ve survived every lake-effect storm
since we began installing them in Southeastern Wisconsin in 2018.
