While every summer is hot in most parts of Australia, this summer seems to have been a little more stifling than normal. For many, this is a good reason to head indoors to the sanctuary of air conditioning, but for others it’s simply the time to make use of one of the best investments for an outdoor living area – outdoor blinds.
While outdoor blinds do provide benefits all-year-round (see the benefits of outdoor blinds below), they are perhaps most valuable when the summer sun beats down and the temperatures go up. That’s because outdoor blinds do an excellent job of providing shade in your outdoor area. So, if you have a side or sides of your patio, pergola or verandah that need protection, outdoor blinds will be well worth considering.
After reading these benefits, we’re sure you’ll agree that outdoor blinds are certainly practical. What’s more, they’re also good looking and come in a range of fabrics to suit all situations. Plus, many of today’s outdoor blinds don’t need to be rolled up and down to use. For example, a popular option is the Ziptrak system, a track-guided design that allows your outdoor blinds to be easily lowered and raised. This system will allow you to stop your blinds at any height, giving you greater control over the elements. You can even get outdoor blinds that can be raised and lowered by a remote system, or even via a sun-sensor. Some may see this is a little lazy; we think it’s just darn smart!

While all our branches sell and install outdoor blinds, our Busselton Branch in Western Australia and our Canberra Branch in the ACT are outdoor blind specialists, so are great choices if you live in those areas. The main image on this page shows a recent project by our Busselton Branch of heavy duty Ziptrak outdoor blinds. The Ziptrak blinds can now span up to 6 metres, removing the need for posts in most cases.
