Specialist awnings & shade structure pricing portal

This portal is for homeowners, architects and project managers who need
specialist awnings and shade structures designed for coastal South Africa.
It explains how pricing works, which products we design, and how to request a
site specific design consultation for your project.

Standard blinds are priced online through our national shop. Structural systems such as
awnings and shade structures are priced once we have checked exposure, fixing surfaces
and design requirements for your site.

How this pricing & design portal works

Awnings and shade structures are not “one size fits all”. Wind exposure, fixing points,
roof structure and coastal corrosion all affect how the system must be designed and
installed. That is why pricing is tied to design checks instead of generic size tables.

• You choose the product type from the sections below
  (awnings or shade structures).
• We review your photos, rough sizes and site notes and advise on
  the correct system for your space.
• You receive an indicative investment range and, once the site
  has been assessed, a confirmed design and price.

This process protects your investment and ensures the final structure can handle
real coastal conditions over time.

Where to find standard blinds pricing online

Window blinds are typically fitted into existing openings, which means pricing can be
standardised and handled online through our national store. You can explore live,
transparent pricing for most blind types here:

• 
  Blockout roller blinds
  
• 
  Sheer and light-filter roller blinds
  
• 
  Duo / double roller blinds

These products are ideal when you need clear, upfront pricing and a
fast path from measurement to installation, without structural changes to the
building.

you commit to a full installation.

Common questions about pricing and design consultations

Why do you call it a design consultation and not a quote?

For these systems, the price is inseparable from the structural design. During the
consultation we look at wind loads, fixing substrates and how the structure will move
water and weather away from your building. Pricing is attached to a verified solution,
not a generic guess.

Can I get a price estimate before a site visit?

Yes. Once we have photos, rough measurements and basic exposure details, we can give
you an indicative investment range. Final, guaranteed pricing is confirmed after the
site has been assessed and the design has been checked against those conditions.

Why are blinds priced online but awnings and shade structures are not?

Blinds are usually fitted inside existing openings, so they can be priced with
standard size and fabric combinations. Awnings and shade structures change how a
building handles wind, rain and sun. They need site specific design, which is why
pricing is linked to a consultation rather than a simple price list.

Do you offer a warranty against coastal corrosion?

Yes. We use marine grade aluminium and specialist coatings chosen for the coast.
Your final design and investment include a corrosion warranty based on the exposure
level of your site and the maintenance plan we recommend to ensure validity.
