Many Kiwi homes have great outdoor areas that go unused for half the year. Wind, rain, or too much sun can make it hard to enjoy your deck, patio, or balcony for long. Overhead cover like a fixed canopy helps, but it’s often not enough. That’s where outdoor blinds, especially Ziptrak blinds, can make a big difference.
At Lidgard Shades, we help homeowners create outdoor spaces that are practical, comfortable, and ready for year-round use. Adding outdoor blinds is one of the most effective ways to do this.
Why Choose Ziptrak Blinds?
Add Weather Protection that Works
Ziptrak blinds give strong protection from the weather. When the wind picks up or rain starts to fall, you can quickly close the blinds and keep the space dry and sheltered.
We offer a range of materials to suit different conditions. Mesh fabrics allow airflow while cutting down heat and glare. Clear PVC is perfect when you want full weather protection without losing your view. All materials are high quality and built to last.
Create Flexible Outdoor Spaces
Outdoor blinds help turn your outdoor area into a space that works in every season. You can open them right up to let in fresh air and sunshine, or close them to make a warm, enclosed spot during cooler months.
This flexibility is great for families who want to use their outdoor space more often. It also makes entertaining easier, with outdoor areas that stay usable whether the weather turns or not. For people working from home or looking for extra space, it can even become an outdoor room.
Add Privacy and Style
As well as weather protection, Ziptrak blinds offer extra privacy. They help block the view from neighbours or the street, without fully shutting you in. This is especially helpful for homes in built-up areas or when you want a bit of peace and quiet.
Our blinds come in a range of colours and finishes to match your home. Whether you prefer modern, neutral tones or something bolder, we can help you find the right fit. A well-designed blind setup not only works well but also lifts the look of your outdoor area.
Experience the Ziptrak Innovation
Lidgard Shades is a proud authorised Ziptrak retailer. Ziptrak is a patented system that’s easy to use and built to last. It removes the need for zips, cords, or pulleys, giving you a clean, modern finish.
The spring-balanced system means you can move the blind to any height, and it stays right there. You don’t need to lock it in place. It’s smooth, quiet, and quick to operate. There are also motorised options for even easier control using a wall switch or remote.
This simple yet smart system is one of the reasons so many of our customers choose Ziptrak. It’s practical and reliable, and it just works.
