Outdoor Blinds in Mossel Bay
Mossel Bay averages more sunny days than almost anywhere on the Garden Route — but that means more UV, more heat, and regular wind off the Indian Ocean. Our outdoor blinds are specified for Mossel Bay’s particular combination of sun intensity and coastal exposure.
Why Mossel Bay Properties Need Outdoor Blinds
Mossel Bay faces directly onto the Indian Ocean with minimal shelter. Properties along the Point, Pinnacle Point, and Dana Bay are exposed to strong onshore winds and salt spray. We use marine-grade fittings, UV-rated fabrics, and weighted channel systems designed for this level of exposure. Inland properties around Hartenbos and Great Brak River get less wind but more heat — here we often recommend screen mesh blinds for airflow with shade.
Outdoor Blind Types for Mossel Bay
Clear PVC blinds. Full weather protection with unobstructed views. Roll down when the rain comes, roll up when it clears. Popular for enclosed patios and stoeps where you want to keep using the space through winter.
Screen mesh blinds. Filter sunlight, reduce wind, and maintain airflow. Ideal for braai areas and north-facing patios where heat build-up is the main concern. Available in a range of openness factors from 1% to 10%.
Canvas and acrylic blinds. Full shade and weather protection in a choice of colours. Heavier fabric for maximum wind resistance. Often used for large commercial patios and restaurant stoeps.
Side-channel guide systems. All our outdoor blinds run in aluminium side channels that keep the fabric taut in wind. No flapping, no gaps, no damage. This is what separates a properly specified outdoor blind from a cheap import.

Holiday Homes & Hospitality
Mossel Bay’s year-round sunshine makes outdoor entertaining possible in every season — if you have the right protection. Outdoor blinds turn a windy coastal patio into a sheltered outdoor room. For the growing number of retirement and golf estates around Pinnacle Point and Hartenbos, they add functional square metres without building plans.
Common Questions
How long do outdoor blinds last in Mossel Bay?
With proper specification and installation, our outdoor blinds last 8–15 years in coastal Garden Route conditions. The key is using the right fabric for the exposure, marine-grade hardware, and proper side-channel systems. We choose materials specifically rated for Mossel Bay’s UV, wind, and salt conditions.
Should I choose clear PVC or mesh for my Mossel Bay patio?
It depends on your primary need. Clear PVC gives full weather protection while keeping views — ideal for winter use and rain shelter. Screen mesh gives shade and wind reduction with airflow — better for hot, sunny positions. Many Mossel Bay homeowners combine both: clear PVC on the weather-exposed sides and mesh where the sun hits hardest.
Can outdoor blinds handle Mossel Bay wind?
Yes — when properly installed with side-channel guide systems. The aluminium channels hold the fabric taut and prevent it from flapping or pulling out of the guides. We assess wind exposure during the site visit and specify the right channel depth and fabric weight for your specific position.
Do you offer motorised outdoor blinds in Mossel Bay?
Yes. We install Somfy-motorised outdoor blinds with remote control, timer, and optional sun and wind sensors. The sensors automatically lower or raise the blinds based on weather conditions — particularly useful for holiday homes where you’re not always there to manage them manually.
