Restaurant Blinds and Awnings — Garden Route

Your outdoor seating area is revenue. When wind empties tables or rain cancels bookings, you lose covers. The right blinds and awnings keep guests seated, comfortable, and spending — through every season.

Why Restaurants Choose Custom Blinds

Garden Route restaurants live and die by outdoor seating. A covered patio that works in all conditions isn’t a luxury — it’s the difference between a full house and empty tables on a windy Thursday evening.

We’ve fitted outdoor blinds, retractable awnings, and patio enclosures for restaurants, cafés, wine estates, and boutique hotels from Mossel Bay to Plettenberg Bay. Every installation is designed around how the venue actually operates: where waitstaff move, where guests sit, where wind hits, and how quickly staff need to deploy or retract the system.

The result is outdoor seating that works 12 months a year — not just in summer.

Solutions for Hospitality Venues

Retractable folding-arm awnings. Extend shade over terrace seating and retract when you want open sky. Somfy-motorised with optional wind sensors that auto-retract in strong gusts. Canvas and Wedge designs available in a wide colour range — branded valances with your restaurant logo are standard.

Clear PVC drop-down blinds. Full weather protection without blocking the view. Roll down when rain or wind hits, roll up when conditions clear. Side-channel guide systems keep the PVC taut — no flapping, no gaps. Essential for any venue with an exposed patio.

Screen mesh blinds. Reduce wind and glare while maintaining airflow. Popular for braai areas and north-facing terraces where heat build-up is the issue. Available in a range of openness factors.

Louvre awnings. Aluminium louvres that tilt to control sun angle and close fully when it rains. A permanent architectural feature that adds value to the venue. Motorised operation is standard.

Fixed and retractable shade sails. For beer gardens, courtyard seating, and pool decks. UV protection up to 95% with a modern, architectural aesthetic.
