Outdoor living Invercargill
Designed around Invercargill.
Invercargill has some of the longest summer evenings in the country, but its flat, open landscape means wind and passing showers are part of daily life. Many homes have outdoor areas that only get used on the rare calm, warm day.
At Shade Smart, we fix that with outdoor living designed for southern conditions. Louvre roofs keep the rain off while letting the light in, outdoor blinds take the bite out of the wind, and every system is engineered and made to suit your home.
Louvre roofs Invercargill
Our louvre roofs are the most popular choice for Invercargill homes — open for sun, angled for light, closed for rain. Ideal for making the most of those long southern summer evenings.

Outdoor blinds Invercargill
Invercargill's westerlies are the biggest reason patios go unused. Track-guided outdoor blinds hold firm in the wind and keep your outlook with clear or mesh fabrics.

Pergolas Invercargill
A Transroof pergola gives you a dry, UV-protected outdoor area while keeping your living spaces bright — a great fit for Southland's softer light.

Commercial shade Invercargill
We also design shelter and sun control for Invercargill cafés, hospitality venues and commercial buildings.

Turn your deck into another room.
A properly designed louvre roof combined with outdoor blinds can turn an exposed deck or patio into a sheltered outdoor living area — somewhere to eat, relax and entertain long after the sun drops behind the Remarkables.

Reviews
Loved by homeowners across New Zealand.
“We had a custom built Louvre system installed over our decking. It was quite complex due to the size and the fact we have solar panels. Special brackets needed to be made and the guys did a great job working it all out. We are extremely happy with the end result. Excellent product that works well and looks fantastic.”
“We highly recommend Shade Smart precision engineering, quality products strong and attractive, first class Company providing attention, care, quality, value for money.”
“The guys were great to deal with, sharp price compared to the competition and the finished louvers came up great.”
“Great product and service, got my outdoor motorised blind working with google homes and has all the smart function with the wifi built-in blinds.”
“Their staff who installed the roof and blinds worked efficiently and professionally at all times. Two minor problems with electronics were solved almost immediately and we could not fault the follow up service.”
“Angus and team helped my parents build a pergola. Very nice and professional, would definitely recommend.”

FAQs
Invercargill questions
Do you install louvre roofs in Invercargill?+
Yes. We design and install across Invercargill, Otatara, Bluff and the wider Southland region.
Will outdoor blinds handle Invercargill wind?+
Track-guided blinds run in side channels, so they're far more stable in wind than standard blinds. We'll recommend the right system for your exposure.
Is a site visit in Invercargill free?+
Yes. We'll arrange a time to visit your Invercargill property, measure up, talk through options and give you a free, no-obligation written quote.
