Outdoor blinds for alfresco areas: what to know first

Key questions to ask before adding outdoor blinds to a patio, pergola or alfresco area.

Check the structure

Many outdoor areas can take blinds, subject to the supporting structure, fixing points and exposure. We inspect and measure before recommending a system.

Know the limits

Outdoor blinds should not be treated as a waterproof wall or a fully weatherproof enclosure. Weather resistance varies by fabric and system.

Sun, glare and wind

Fabric, orientation and coverage affect how much sun and glare you block. Follow the operating limits for your system, as some conditions require blinds to be retracted or secured.
