Outdoor Blinds give you a simple way to extend your living space. They turn a deck, patio, balcony, or pergola into an enclosed area you can use in every season. You gain more usable space without building new rooms.

At Lidgard Shades, we design, manufacture and install Outdoor Blinds across New Zealand. We build them to handle our wind, rain, and strong UV levels. With the right setup, you can enjoy your outdoor area in summer, autumn, winter, and spring.
Create a space you can use all year
Many homeowners use Outdoor Blinds to enclose outdoor dining areas. Others create a covered play space for children or a quiet spot to relax. The same area can serve different purposes through the year.
Protection from sun, wind and rain
New Zealand weather can change quickly. Outdoor Blinds give you a reliable barrier against wind and rain. They also reduce harsh sunlight, which helps protect outdoor furniture and flooring.
We offer a range of materials to suit different needs. UV resistant mesh fabrics reduce heat and glare while still allowing airflow. Clear or tinted PVC provides stronger weather protection while keeping the view.
You can choose the level of openness in mesh fabrics, including options such as 0 percent, 1 percent, or 5 percent openness. This allows you to control how much light and airflow enters your space.
With the right material choice, you can block out the worst of the weather while still enjoying your surroundings.
Add privacy without losing your view
Outdoor Blinds also improve privacy. Mesh fabrics limit visibility from the outside during the day while still letting you see out. This makes them ideal for homes close to neighbours or busy streets.
Clear PVC options maintain an open feel while protecting you from wind and rain. You can sit comfortably and enjoy your garden or coastal view without feeling exposed.
We also offer a wide range of fabric colours. This allows your blinds to blend with your home’s exterior.
Choose the right blind system
We supply different Outdoor Blind systems to match your space and budget.
As an authorised retailer of Ziptrak, we offer a smooth track guided blind that removes the need for zips, ropes, or loose straps. Ziptrak blinds glide within side tracks and stop at any height. The spring balanced system makes them easy to operate and secure in place.
We also install café style blinds, often called drop screens. These are a popular option for enclosing pergolas and patios. They provide simple, effective coverage and can be tailored to suit your layout.
Our blinds are available in both manual and automated operation, depending on the system you choose.
Simple control and automation options
Outdoor Blinds can be motorised for added convenience. With a handheld remote, you can control one blind or several at once. This works well for large outdoor areas or hard to reach spaces.
We also offer wireless wall remotes. These give you a fixed control point, so you can manage your shading system with ease.
Automation makes it simple to adjust your blinds as the weather changes. You can respond quickly to rain, strong sun, or cooler evening air.
