You measured the patio. You have the width and the drop. You want a price, not a callback. Here it is.
Duncan KaneFounder, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings South Africa. 20+ years industry experience.“When I started in this trade, getting a price for a made-to-measure outdoor blind meant a site visit, a follow-up call, and a week’s wait. The technology now means you get the price in seconds and the blind in five days. That is what this product always deserved.”
What Makes Outdoor Blinds Affordable Now?
For most of the last two decades, made-to-measure outdoor blinds were a showroom product. You drove in, sat with a consultant, waited for a measure, waited for a quote, waited for the callback. The price reflected all of that overhead.
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings has removed every step between you and a confirmed price. The blind costs the same. The process costs nothing. Enter your width and drop at shop.customblinds.co.za, and the pricing engine returns your exact rand figure immediately.
Showroom products at online prices
The fabrics and hardware in the Custom Blinds online range are the same specification supplied to lodges, guesthouses and commercial installations across South Africa. Weather-resistant, UV-rated, gearbox-operated. These are not budget approximations of showroom blinds. They are the showroom product, now available to anyone in the country with a tape measure and a screen.
Custom-made to your measurements
Every blind is manufactured to your exact width and drop. There are no standard sizes, no cutting down from a stock panel, no gaps at the edges. Custom-made has always meant this level of fit. What technology has changed is the cost of getting there.

What Affects the Price of an Outdoor Blind?
Width and drop are the two primary drivers. A wider or taller blind uses more fabric and a heavier headrail, so the price scales with area. Beyond dimensions, two factors add cost: motorisation and the number of panels.
Motorisation
All outdoor blinds in the range are available with motorised operation, controlled by remote. Motorisation adds cost to the unit price but removes the need for a manual cord mechanism, which is particularly useful for large or high-mounted blinds. Configure a motorised blind in the shop or ask Melvin for a motorised price on your exact dimensions.
Number of panels
A patio with three openings requires three separate blinds, each priced to its own width and drop. The total cost is the sum of the individual panels. Some wide openings are split into two narrower panels for easier operation and better wind resistance.
Which Outdoor Blind Fabrics Ship Nationally?
The Custom Blinds online range ships in weather-resistant screen mesh fabric. Screen mesh filters sun and wind, reduces glare, and maintains a view through the blind when closed. It is the right product for the vast majority of South African patio applications and installs without professional assistance.
Screen mesh: what it does
Screen mesh at 5% openness blocks the majority of direct sun and reduces wind pressure on the patio while keeping the outlook visible. Available in nine colours: Anthracite, Ash, Black, Grey, Moonlight, Sand, Pearl, White and Bronze. Check current colour availability in the shop or ask Melvin before ordering.
Clear PVC and canvas outdoor blinds
Clear PVC outdoor blinds fully enclose a patio while keeping the view open. Canvas blinds provide complete weather sealing. Both are available nationally with free delivery. Contact us for a price on your dimensions. For Garden Route homes, call Duncan Kane on 079 523 5407 for a free site visit and measure.

How do I measure my patio for an outdoor blind?
Measure the width of the opening at its widest point and the drop from the mounting point to the lowest position you want covered. Both measurements in millimetres. Outside mount is standard for outdoor blinds. If you are unsure, ask Melvin in the shop chat widget and he will guide you through it step by step.

Can I order more than one outdoor blind?
Yes. Each panel is measured and priced individually to its own width and drop. Add each panel to your cart in the shop and the total calculates automatically.
What happens if my outdoor blind does not fit?
The Custom Fit Guarantee covers every order. If the blind arrives too wide, return it and Custom Blinds trims it and ships it back at no cost. If it arrives too narrow, Custom Blinds remakes it with a 5% discount on the replacement price, shipping included.
Are motorised outdoor blinds available online?
