8×8 (64 sq ft) is the most common size for standard urban apartment balconies — wide enough to span a sliding-glass-door opening plus a chair or small bistro table, but still narrow enough to count as "single bay" coverage on most HOA spec sheets. If your balcony fits a 2-seat seating arrangement and a side table, 8×8 is the size that closes off the full usable footprint without leaving an exposed corner.
This is the sweet-spot size for renters and short-term owners: it ships with a standard residential motor (no upgraded torque required), runs off a single GFCI outlet, and the bottom bar lands cleanly above the railing cap on most balconies built after 1985 — meaning no custom cuts and no bracket extensions in the typical install.
HOA-friendly — retracts into slim aluminum housing, available in neutral colors.
DIY installation takes 2–4 hours per screen. Professional installation also available ($300–$500 per screen). Plugs into any standard GFCI outlet.
