Outdoor living Picton
Designed around Picton.
Picton and the Sounds are all about the water — decks looking out over Queen Charlotte Sound, baches tucked into bays and homes set into bush-clad hillsides. Strong sun and sea breezes mean those outdoor areas need shelter to be comfortable.
At Shade Smart, we design outdoor living for Picton homes, holiday houses and waterfront businesses. Each system is custom made for your site and designed to keep your view front and centre.
Louvre roofs Picton
A louvre roof gives your Picton deck shade from the summer sun and cover from showers, while the blades open to keep things light and airy.

Outdoor blinds Picton
Outdoor blinds take the edge off sea breezes and glare off the water, with clear and mesh options that keep your Sounds view.

Pergolas Picton
A Transroof pergola gives you a bright, dry outdoor area — perfect for baches and holiday homes.

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.”
