What is it?
Outdoor Blinds
At Shade Smart, we supply and install a range of outdoor blinds — including Ziptrak, EasyScreen and motorised options — to weatherproof your outdoor area and add privacy in both residential and commercial settings.
Every system is custom designed for your property and installed by our locally based team, who understand how Queenstown's alpine conditions — hot dry summers, snow, frost and strong winds — affect outdoor spaces.
01
Block the wind
Enclose the sides of your outdoor area to shelter from cold southerlies and nor'westers.
02
Keep the view
Mesh fabrics reduce glare and heat while keeping the lake and mountains in sight.
03
Smart control
Motorised blinds can be connected to smart-home systems for one-touch operation.
