Outdoor living Westport
Designed around Westport.
Westport and the Buller coast offer beaches, bush and big skies — along with plenty of rain and onshore wind. A well-designed outdoor room lets you enjoy the setting without being at the mercy of the weather.
At Shade Smart, we design custom outdoor living for Westport homes, from Carters Beach to Cape Foulwind. Each system is made for your property and designed to handle coastal conditions.
Louvre roofs Westport
A louvre roof keeps rain off your deck when closed and lets in light and air when open — ideal for Westport's changeable coastal weather.

Outdoor blinds Westport
Outdoor blinds protect your outdoor area from onshore wind and rain while keeping the view.

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.”
