Awnings Blinds and Shadeports in Plettenberg Bay

Plettenberg Bay homes face conditions that test every product to its limit. See our blinds in Plettenberg Bay for more. Direct ocean salt spray across Robberg and Beacon Isle. Relentless UV from a north-facing coastline. South-easterly winds that funnel through the bay. Summer storms that shift from sunshine to downpour in minutes. The right blinds, awnings, and shadeports handle all of it — protecting interiors, extending outdoor living, and making every room in your Plett home more comfortable year-round.

Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings has been designing, manufacturing, and installing across Plettenberg Bay since 2010 — from Robberg Ridge and Lookout Beach through to The Crags, Keurbooms, and Nature’s Valley. We are not a franchise. Every product is made to measure and installed by our own team.

Why Plettenberg Bay Homes Need Specialist Products

Plett is not George. It is not Knysna. The conditions are more extreme and more varied within a short distance.

Robberg and Beacon Isle properties sit in direct salt spray — hardware corrodes, timber swells, and cheap fabrics fail within two seasons. Properties facing Lookout Beach get full north-facing UV from sunrise to sunset. The south-easterly funnels through the bay and can gust hard enough to damage unsecured awnings. And Keurbooms and The Crags, set back from the coast, face different challenges: dense forest humidity, afternoon heat pockets, and summer insects.

We specify marine-grade powder-coated aluminium, stainless fasteners, and UV-stable fabrics as standard for every Plett installation. Somfy wind sensors are fitted to all retractable awnings. This is not an upgrade — it is the baseline for what Plett conditions demand.

Shadeports in Plettenberg Bay

Plett sun is relentless on vehicles. Paint fades, dashboards crack, and leather interiors deteriorate faster than owners expect. Add bird droppings, tree sap from indigenous forest near The Crags and Keurbooms, and storm debris from summer south-easters, and an unprotected car ages visibly within a season. Shadeports are one of the most practical investments for any Plett property.

We design and install single, double, and multi-bay shadeport structures using galvanised steel or aluminium frames with high-tensile shade cloth rated for 96% UV protection. Each structure is engineered for the specific wind loads at your property — Robberg properties facing the open bay need different specifications to sheltered sites in The Crags.

Shade sails are an alternative for properties where a full frame structure is not practical or where architectural aesthetics are a priority. We custom-design sail configurations that complement the property while providing genuine protection.

For full details on shade cloth grades, frame options, wind performance, and pricing — see our dedicated Shadeports Plettenberg Bay page. You can also compare shadeports and shade sails in our detailed comparison guide.

Holiday Homes and Airbnb Properties

Plett has one of the highest concentrations of holiday and rental properties on the Garden Route. These properties need products that work unsupervised for weeks at a time, survive tenants who do not know how to operate them, and still look premium when guests arrive.

For holiday homes we recommend motorised roller blinds with Somfy automation — owners can control blinds remotely via app, simulating occupancy for security and protecting interiors from UV while the house stands empty. Aluminium shutters add both security and style without the maintenance burden of timber. Retractable awnings with wind sensors protect themselves automatically.

For Airbnb and rental investments, durability and low maintenance are non-negotiable. We specify wipe-clean fabrics, tamper-resistant mechanisms, and motorised options that guests operate by remote or app rather than pulling chains or cords.
