Outdoor Blinds in Sedgefield
Sedgefield’s relaxed lifestyle revolves around outdoor living — lagoon braais, stoep sundowners, and weekends on the deck. Our outdoor blinds protect these spaces from wind and rain while keeping the views of the Swartvlei and Groenvlei open.
Why Sedgefield Properties Need Outdoor Blinds
Sedgefield’s position between Knysna and Wilderness means it catches weather from both directions. Properties around the lagoon face moisture and wind exposure, while hillside homes above the N2 get full afternoon sun. We assess each site individually and recommend the right fabric, operating system, and channel configuration for the specific exposure.
Outdoor Blind Types for Sedgefield
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
Sedgefield’s growing eco-tourism and slow-town appeal makes it a popular retirement and holiday destination. Outdoor blinds add practical value — a wind-sheltered patio becomes a year-round living room without the cost of a full enclosure. Many of our Sedgefield installations are for homeowners transitioning from Gauteng who want to maximise their outdoor space.
Common Questions
How long do outdoor blinds last in Sedgefield?
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 Sedgefield’s UV, wind, and salt conditions.
Should I choose clear PVC or mesh for my Sedgefield 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 Sedgefield homeowners combine both: clear PVC on the weather-exposed sides and mesh where the sun hits hardest.
Can outdoor blinds handle Sedgefield 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 Sedgefield?
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.
