Upgrade Your Patio with Durable Outdoor Blinds

Outdoor Blinds are a modern alternative for enclosing your patio. The hi-tech fabrics are specifically formulated and manufactured to withstand the sun's harmful UV rays while protecting your furniture. Lower and raise the blind using a removable crank handle or motorise your blind. Blinds are secure at the bottom with a selection of hold down clips or shock cords which allows the blinds to remain down during windy weather. You can also select a Channel X Blind that is fully enclosed on the top and sides. The Outdoor Blind will allow you maximum use of your entertainment areas by stopping heat and glare whilst providing a degree of weather protection while maintaining your view.

Manual vs. Motorised Outdoor Blinds: 

Which is Right for Your Patio?

Convenience:  Motorised (Somfy) is best for large spans over 3m where cranking is heavy.
Cost: Manual crank blinds are the budget-friendly option for smaller patios.
Longevity: Motorised blinds last longer because the motion is smooth and consistent, reducing wear and tear.

You can create the ambience to match your mood with the simple push of a button. No chains or cords that always seem to get tangled, which also means it is safer with young children around

 

MOTORISED OUTDOOR BLINDS

Play Video

Operate your patio blinds by a press of a button on your remote control. This motorised (automation) system puts you in control and provides a much-desired flexibility that is simply not available with a manual system.

What Makes Outdoor Patio Blinds Essential in Pretoria & Surrounding areas?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do I need outdoor patio blinds specifically for Pretoria's climate?

If you live in Pretoria or anywhere in Gauteng, you know the weather doesn't mess around. Summer temperatures regularly hit 35°C, intense afternoon sun creates unbearable glare, and those sudden Highveld thunderstorms can drench an unprotected patio in seconds.

 

Our outdoor patio blinds are engineered for these exact conditions. They block up to 85% of rain while maintaining airflow, withstand Gauteng's notorious afternoon winds when properly installed with our hold-down systems, and feature UV-resistant fabrics that don't fade or deteriorate under Pretoria's intense sun.

 

The temperature control benefits are dramatic: you can reduce patio heat by up to 15°C on scorching Gauteng summer days, protect your outdoor furniture from sun damage and fading, and lower cooling costs by preventing heat from reaching windows—especially effective in suburbs like Waterkloof and Woodhill.

 

Most importantly, patio blinds extend your living space. You'll use your patio year-round, not just on perfect weather days. Create shade for afternoon braais without permanent structures, and protect outdoor entertainment areas in estates throughout Pretoria East. After installing thousands of systems across Gauteng, we've seen how the right blinds genuinely transform how families use their outdoor spaces.

Should I choose motorised or manual outdoor blinds for my Pretoria home?

After installing thousands of patio blinds across Gauteng, we've learned there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Here's how we help our Pretoria clients decide:

 

Manual Crank Blinds work best for:

  • Smaller Blind installations.
  • Budget-conscious homeowners.
  • Areas with easy access for manual operation.

Manual blinds feature a removable crank handle for easy operation, lower upfront cost, and no electrical requirements (perfect for lapas or patios without power). They're still tough enough for Gauteng weather with proper installation. 

 

Motorised Patio Blinds (Somfy Systems) are ideal for:

  • Multiple blind installations.
  • Wider Patio Blinds where cranking becomes heavy and difficult to operate.
  • Luxury homes where stunning aesthetics and ease of use or automation outways cost.
  • Clients wanting smart home integration

 

The real advantages of automation go beyond convenience. Yes, one remote controls all your outdoor blinds—lower them before that Pretoria thunderstorm hits, raise them from inside when the sun breaks through. But the longevity advantage matters too: We've seen motorised blinds outlast manual systems by 3-5 years because there's no human error in operation.

 

Smart home integration means you can connect to Alexa, Google Home, or home automation systems. Set schedules (blinds down at 2pm when the sun hits hardest, up again at 5pm for sunset views). And automated outdoor blinds are a genuine selling point for upscale Pretoria properties.

Can blinds be installed on existing structures?

Almost always, yes. We've successfully installed patio blinds on wooden beams in traditional Pretoria lapas, steel structures in modern Centurion homes, aluminium pergolas (we also sell and install these), existing brick pillars in older Gauteng homes, and face brick walls (requires specialized mounting).

 

The only situations where installation isn't possible are severely deteriorated structures or surfaces that won't hold mounting hardware safely. Gerhard assesses this during the free blind installation quote.

Do patio blinds really reduce heat?

Significantly. Outdoor blinds are infinitely more effective than indoor blinds because they block heat before it enters your home. This is especially important in Pretoria where afternoon sun hits north and west-facing patios hard.

 

Real temperature reductions we've measured:

  • Uncovered patio: 38°C (typical Pretoria summer afternoon)
  • With Outlook Mode blind down: 28°C
  • That's a 10°C difference

 

This doesn't just make your patio usable—it reduces heat transfer to adjacent rooms, lowering your air conditioning costs throughout summer.

OUTLOOK® MODE (Improved Shearweave Blind Replacement) COLOURS

Mode is one of the most versatile products of the Outlook mesh collection (replaced the old Sheerweave range) with a ‘do it all’ reputation. The construction
features a 5% openness allowing for sun and weather protection, moderate airflow and uninterrupted views.

 

  • Blind and awning systems using Outlook mesh will extend outdoor areas for all year-round living, maintaining temperature control and providing a seamless connection for indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Outlook Blinds filter ultraviolet rays, offering protection without compromising the visual aspect.
  • Outlook fabrics are designed for residential and commercial environments and rigorously quality tested.
  • Outlook mesh naturally creates a cooler environment outside and helps lower energy costs inside.

Blinds All Types – The Blind Experts You Never Knew You Needed!I recently had the pleasure of working with Blinds All Types, and let me tell you, the experience was nothing short of exceptional! From start to finish, Gerhard, the owner, provided stellar service that went above and beyond any expectations I had. His knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to getting everything just right made me feel like I was in the hands of a true expert. If you're looking for blinds, Gerhard is the person you need to call.And let’s talk about the products – wow. The quality is absolutely phenomenal! It’s clear that Blinds All Types doesn’t cut corners; they provide top-tier, durable blinds that fit perfectly and look stunning. My home feels transformed, and I couldn't be happier with the results.But wait, there's more – the installers, Bright and Agnecious, are the dynamic duo of the installation world. These guys are professional, punctual, and take precision to an entirely new level. They made sure everything was perfectly installed with no mess, no stress, and no hassle. Watching them work was like witnessing blind installation artistry in motion!In conclusion, if you’re in the market for blinds, don’t waste time anywhere else. Blinds All Types will exceed your expectations, from Gerhard’s outstanding service to Bright and Agnecious’ flawless installation. My windows and patio have never looked better!Thank you Blinds All Types!!

I could not recommend Blinds All Types more! First, the quote came through instantly. Arranging a formal measurement was just as fast. And the blinds were actually ready ahead of schedule. If you are like me and make purchase decisions off reviews, then look no further. No company that I contacted could match the professional engagement with Gerhard and Zincka. I have a rather specific (and pedantic) sense of what works in our house. They grasped that instantly and made recommendations to not only match what I had envisioned, but improve on it. The installation was flawless from Ignacious and Steven, and the home was in pristine condition when they were done. The new blinds have transformed the rooms, thank you Gerhard, Zincka and team!!
