Custom PVC track, painted to match
We cut the track to your rooflines and paint it to match your trim, so by day the line reads as trim. It is fastened to your home, never taped on.
The controller and power adapter are tucked out of sight. With an outdoor outlet already in place, there’s no electrician to hire. The controller needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi where it’s mounted.
