Which Outdoor Blind/Awning is Right for Me? | Different Types Explained
Summer in Australia is all about making the most of the outdoors — long lunches on the deck, Christmas barbecues with family, and lazy afternoons by the pool. But the harsh sun can sometimes make it hard to enjoy your alfresco areas. That’s where Awnings come in. They not only provide shade and style, but also help keep your home cooler and your family more comfortable.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF OUTDOOR BLINDS & AWNINGS
If you love entertaining, an overhead awning is a must. Folding Arm or Eureka Conservatory Awnings extend outward like a roof, creating instant cover over patios, decks, or poolside areas. They’re retractable too, so you can enjoy the sunshine when you want and shade when you need it.
Best for: Christmas lunches outdoors, summer dinner parties, poolside shade.
For a sleek, contemporary look, Outdoor Blinds fall directly down to create a wall of shade. They’re perfect for balconies, pergolas, or outdoor dining spaces where you want privacy and UV protection without blocking airflow.
Straight drop awnings are available in different styles to suit your needs:
Zip Style – Secure and streamlined, ideal for reducing gaps against wind, sun, and insects.
Cable Guide – Modern and smooth with stainless steel cables, perfect for balconies.
Straight Drop – Flexible, simple, and great for patios or entertaining areas.
Best for: Alfresco dining, Christmas drinks on the balcony, creating private outdoor rooms.
Designed to tilt outward from the window, Pivot Arm Awnings and Retractable Awning block sunlight while allowing breeze to flow through. They help cool interiors naturally, reducing the need for air conditioning.
Best for: Upper-storey windows, living rooms, and breezy summer days indoors.
If you want permanent, reliable protection, a Canopy Awning or Fixed Steel Awning is the way to go. These awnings provide continuous cover from both sun and rain. They’re a low-maintenance option — always in place, always protecting — perfect if you want shade without worrying about retracting or adjusting.
Best for: Driveways, shopfronts, entryways, or homes that need reliable year-round shade.
