OUTDOOR BLINDS ADELAIDE

PVC-coated polyester mesh blocks and reflects up to 95% of solar energy while still letting air move through, which is what keeps a covered area usable through a run of 40-degree days rather than turning it into a hotbox. Adelaide summers are long, dry and hot, and a north or west-facing patio takes the worst of it. Through our mild winters the same blind takes the edge off the wind without shutting the space in.

Our mesh is UV treated, Microban antimicrobial treated, fire retardant rated to AS 1530.2 and AS/NZS 1530.3, and Greenguard certified as a low chemical emitting product, rather than a generic weave off the shelf.

Mesh blinds filter wind and cut glare, but they will not stop rain, since water passes through the open weave. Track-guided systems give the best wind resistance, because the fabric is held firmly in side channels rather than hanging free. For maximum protection in an exposed or high-wind spot, a track-guided system is what we recommend. If you need an area closed off from the weather properly, raise it at the free measure and we will talk through what will actually suit the space.

We mount to timber, steel, aluminium, brick or concrete, custom-made to fit almost any opening across patios, pergolas, decks and alfresco areas.

Dust does more to shorten the life of a blind in Adelaide than sun does, particularly through a dry summer. Hose the fabric down every two to three months: lower it fully, rinse the residue off, and use a soft cloth with mild detergent in warm water for any marks, working top to bottom. Skip abrasive cleaners and pressure washers, and let the blind dry completely before rolling it up so nothing is trapped in the roll. Closer to the coast around Semaphore or Glenelg, salt builds up faster, so rinse more often.

In most cases, outdoor blinds installed on an existing structure such as a patio, pergola or verandah do not require council approval in South Australia. Rules can vary depending on your local council, whether your property is heritage-listed, or if the structure itself requires approval. Worth a quick check with your council if you're unsure.
