Retractable screen systems

A method for installing a screen system having a magnetic track assembly for an opening of a structure;

• comprising:
• attaching a screen assembly to the structure along an upper edge of the opening;
• the screen assembly having a screen and a roller tube;
• the screen extending a height between an upper edge and a lower edge;
• the screen extending a length between a first side edge and a second side edge;
• the roller tube extending a length from a first end to a second end;
• the screen connected to the roller tube such that when the roller tube rotates in a first direction the screen is raised and when the roller tube rotates in a second direction, opposite the first direction, the screen is lowered;
• attaching a first track to the structure along a first side of the opening;
• the first track including a first side wall, a second side wall, and an end wall extending between the first side wall and second side wall;
• the first side wall having a first inward facing surface;
• the second side wall having a second inward facing surface;
• wherein the first side wall includes a first connection feature positioned on the first inward facing surface an interior side of the first side wall;
• wherein the second side wall includes a second connection feature positioned on the second inward facing surface an interior side of the second side wall;
• positioning a first screen receiver within the first track between the first side wall and the second side wall;
• wherein the first screen receiver is configured to operably connect with and hold the first side edge of the screen while permitting the screen to be raised and lowered;
• connecting a first retainer to the first side wall of the first track by positioning the first retainer in contact with the first connection features feature and applying force to the first retainer in a direction away from the second side wall and toward the first side wall;
• connecting a second retainer to the second side wall of the first track by positioning the second retainer in contact with the second connection features feature and applying force to the second retainer in a direction away from the first side wall and toward the second side wall;
• wherein the first retainer and the second retainer prevent the first screen receiver from coming out of the first track;
• wherein a first magnetic component is operably connected to the first track;
• wherein a second magnetic component is operably connected to the first screen receiver;
• and
• wherein a magnetic bond is formed between the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component pulls the first screen receiver into the first track, thereby applying tension to the screen.
