Outdoor Blinds
Create Instant Shade
An attractive way of providing privacy and protection from the elements, outdoor blinds are a popular choice. They can turn open external space into usable protected outdoor living area.
- Great way to extend your outdoor space to gain comfortable, shaded outdoor living area at home.
- Cool your home, while saving on air conditioning bills by providing more shade and preventing the sun from reaching your home.
- A very popular choice with restaurants and cafes to extend their seating capacity in areas exposed to the wind, rain or sun.
We are based in Lake Macquarie, and we service the area from Newcastle, Hunter Valley, the Central Coast up to Nelson Bay and out to Singleton.
Our outdoor blinds products are manufactured using high quality materials and a range of finishes and colours to suit all applications and situations.
We have completed Outdoor Blinds projects for both domestic and commercial applications.
The following options are available for your outdoor blind: style of blind, operation mechanism, headbox type and material choice. See below for information on each of these.

They are available as a straight drop, fully retractable or awning style and manual or motorised versions are available:
Ziptrak® blinds - have the advantage of creating a closed off space ensuring privacy and providing insect control, sun protection and superior insulation.

Straight Drop - this option provides great cover to verandahs, patios, decks and pergolas. Operated as a spring-loaded blind they provide great coverage to your outdoor entertaining area or against a window. Very well suited for sun protection whilst still providing air flow. A simple mechanism with stainless steel clips used to lock the base rail to the floor or to posts.
Wire guides - typically used with spring operation and used for window coverings. Provides privacy and allows ventilation. We use marine grade stainless steel cables making them perfect for use in coastal areas.

Outdoor Blind Operation Options
Our outdoor blind range offers various modes of operation.
Motorised - full control of your blind with the touch of a button. Stop the blind at any point. Becoming very popular as an option and makes life so much easier. You can operate the remote from inside the house providing instant shade without having to confront the elements.
Non-motorised - options here include an automatic spring operation which allows you to manually adjust the heght of the blind whilst using hold down clips to the ground or post. The other alternative here is for a fully manual wind up crank mechanism. The geared crank ensures its easy to wind up with minimal effort.
Headbox Options
Choose the finishing touches to suit your situation.
We offer the following headbox options:
Closed Headbox or Closed Cassette/ Full cassette
Provides the maximum protection from the elements.
Fabric is fully protected to help keep it clean.
Aesthetically attractive (looks fab!) and suits the majority of situations.
Open Headbox or Open Hood/ Open Cassette
Increases air circulation around the blind and reduces the temperature, which can reduce the stickiness of clear PVC blinds.
Allows the fabric to be rolled off either side of the roller mechanism. Or for outdoor blinds that pull off in an angle and not directly downwards eg pivot arm blinds.
Open Roller or Non-Hooded
Less compon entry means the cost is reduced.
