Will a canvas outdoor blind survive the wind?
Ripstop canvas resists tearing, but no outdoor blind should stay down in a gale. Raise it when strong wind comes through, as you would an umbrella.
What is the best outdoor blind for a sunny west-facing patio?
A solid canvas blind: it gives full shade and privacy in the hottest part of the day. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings knows Garden Route wind and sun first-hand and delivers across South Africa.
Who should not buy a canvas outdoor blind?
Want to keep the view? Choose a clear PVC outdoor blind. Want shade with some view? Choose a sheer outdoor blind.
What if I measure wrong?
Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it where possible; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.
How should I measure an outdoor opening?
Use our outdoor measuring guide and the instructions for your chosen mounting method. Outdoor blinds have their own fitting rules; indoor fitting allowances do not apply. Confirm your width, drop and fixing surfaces before ordering.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From real sample swatches, not off-cuts. On orders over R8,000, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends sample swatches on request, in the colours you like, for the product you're ordering, such as rollers or plaswood. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a canvas outdoor blind?
- A solid Ripstop canvas blind for a patio, stoep or pergola that gives full shade and privacy.
- Ripstop is a reinforced weave: a small tear cannot run across the fabric.
- Raised and lowered with a gear and crank handle, in six colours.
- Made to measure up to 4500mm wide, from R3,900 with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do canvas outdoor blinds work?
Turn the crank handle; the gear raises or lowers the blind and holds it at any height. Fit it inside the opening, between the pillars or posts, where the brackets need 150mm width of solid surface to fix into. Or fit it face fix, against the wall over the opening.
Which canvas outdoor blind colour should I choose?
Six colours: Black, Dove Grey, Sand, Navy Blue, Autumn Brown and Howard. Lighter colours reflect more light and stay cooler underneath.
Canvas outdoor blinds compared with PVC and sheer
Canvas gives full shade and privacy but hides the view. Clear PVC keeps the view and blocks wind. A sheer outdoor blind cuts the sun while you still see out.
