These new clear PVC Ziptrakยฎ blinds have transformed this patio into a comfortable outdoor room that can be enjoyed year-round while still maintaining clear views and plenty of natural light.

Because the house roof structure sits lower than the pergola roofline, custom gap filler panels were installed above the Ziptrakยฎ blinds to eliminate the gaps that would otherwise be present. This provides a cleaner finish and helps create a more sheltered outdoor space.

With the blinds down, the area is protected from wind and weather while still feeling open and bright. When the weather improves, the blinds can simply be rolled away, returning the space to an open outdoor entertaining area.

A fantastic result that will allow this outdoor living space to be used far more often throughout the year.

Clear PVC keeps the weather out while still holding the view, and with the Ziptrak system theyโ€™re stupidly easy to use, up when you want it open, down when the cold hits.

Turns that โ€œtoo bloody coldโ€ patio into a proper usable space all winter.
If youโ€™re sick of looking at it and not using itโ€ฆ we can fix that.

Stoked to get this one across the line. Weโ€™ve just wrapped up a new shade sail installation at Mount Biggs School, creating a great outdoor space for the kids to learn, relax, and hang out right next to the bush and pond area.

This spot is all about enjoying the outdoors while staying protected, and we reckon itโ€™s going to get a lot of use for years to come.

We handled the shade sails using ๐Š๐จ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐š ๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐’๐ก๐š๐๐ž๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ๐ก, with a big assist from THOR Fencing Ltd on installing the poles โ€“ cheers for the solid work.

By mixing mesh and clear PVC, the homeowner gets the best of both worlds โ€“ light where itโ€™s wanted, shade where itโ€™s needed.

The pelmets are fixed to the outside of the louvre roof, ensuring the LED downlights remain unobstructed and creating a clean, sharp look that really stands out at night.

A great example of how the right materials and attention to detail can truly transform an outdoor living area.

Cold, crisp sunshine and a classic autumn day taking down shade sails and getting them packed away for the cooler months ahead.
