Outdoor living Te Anau
Designed around Te Anau.
Te Anau sits on the doorstep of Fiordland, where lake views come with changeable weather — bright sun one hour, cool westerly showers the next. Outdoor areas here need to cope with rain, wind and sandflies while still letting you enjoy the lake and the Murchison Mountains.
At Shade Smart, we design outdoor living for exactly that. A louvre roof keeps your deck dry through passing showers, insect-screen blinds make evenings comfortable, and every system is custom made for your home rather than pulled off a shelf.
Louvre roofs Te Anau
Close the blades when a Fiordland shower rolls in, then open them to the afternoon sun. A louvre roof turns a Te Anau deck into a space you can use whatever the weather does.

Outdoor blinds Te Anau
Track-guided outdoor blinds with fine mesh help keep out wind and sandflies, so you can sit outside on summer evenings without being driven indoors.

Pergolas Te Anau
A Transroof pergola gives you a dry, bright outdoor area — ideal for holiday homes and lodges that want shelter without darkening the rooms behind.

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.”
