Outdoor Blinds in Plettenberg Bay
Plett’s exposed coastal position brings strong winds, driving rain, and intense UV — but also some of the best outdoor living weather in the country. Our outdoor blinds let you use your patio year-round, dropping down when weather hits and rolling up when the sun comes out.
Why Plettenberg Bay Properties Need Outdoor Blinds
Plettenberg Bay properties — especially along Robberg, Beacon Isle, and the beachfront — face direct oceanic weather exposure. We specify outdoor blinds with UV-stabilised fabric, stainless steel fittings, and side-channel guide systems that hold firm in Plett’s notorious wind. Every installation starts with a site visit to assess wind direction and exposure.
Outdoor Blind Types for Plettenberg 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.

Common Questions
How long do outdoor blinds last in Plettenberg 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 Plettenberg Bay’s UV, wind, and salt conditions.
Should I choose clear PVC or mesh for my Plettenberg 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 Plettenberg Bay homeowners combine both: clear PVC on the weather-exposed sides and mesh where the sun hits hardest.
Can outdoor blinds handle Plettenberg 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 Plettenberg 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.
