Start an outdoor privacy curtain business in Sarasota.
Sarasota’s affluent, design-conscious homeowners live outdoors — pool cages, lanais and patios across Sarasota, Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch. They want privacy and shade that looks as good as their homes, and a patented product only you can sell lets you deliver exactly that.
Sarasota is built for this business.
From the barrier-island estates to the master-planned communities of Lakewood Ranch — one of the top-selling planned communities in the nation — Sarasota County blends real affluence with a serious outdoor-living culture. Bradenton and Venice add thousands more pool homes and lanais, giving a distributor a deep, design-conscious market that appreciates a custom, high-quality product.

Build your business in Gulf Coast.
As a Privacy On Demand distributor serving Sarasota and nearby areas like Bradenton, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, Osprey and Nokomis, you market, sell and install our patented outdoor privacy curtains under your own business name. You generate local leads with our marketing tools, measure and quote on site, order the custom curtains at wholesale, and install the patented track-and-curtain system — all managed inside the POD console. The curtains are custom-made in panels up to 30 feet wide that a homeowner can close for full privacy or open in seconds to keep their view, made from marine-grade Sunbrella canvas built for the Gulf Coast climate. It’s a product Sarasota homeowners understand the moment they watch it work.
Because there are no franchise fees and no royalties, and because you buy product at wholesale and keep what you make on every job, the one-time $9,500 startup can come back inside your first four sales — a potential two-to-four-month return on investment. We train you in person, hands-on, before your first Sarasota customer, and back you with the same support and software we use ourselves. Whether you run it from home or add it to an existing Sarasota-area screen, pool or patio business, you start with a patented product no local competitor can match — and a real head start.
The product itself makes the sale easier. Curtains are made from Sunbrella marine canvas that resists fading, mold and mildew and carries a 10-year fade-free warranty, while our SolaMesh shade sails come in 19 colors with a 10-year degradation-free warranty. For Sarasota homeowners who invest in their outdoor spaces and expect quality to last, that combination of custom fit, patented design and marine-grade materials is exactly what they’re looking for — and exactly what lets you sell with confidence and protect your pricing.
