Outdoor Ziptrak Blinds
Outdoor Ziptrak Blinds provide seamless control over sunlight and weather exposure. Our patented system allows smooth operation, locking mechanisms for wind resistance, and up to 6-meter widths. Ideal for residential patios and commercial spaces, these blinds enhance outdoor living by creating adaptable, sheltered environments while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Shade Sails
Shade Sails are engineered for durability and UV protection using Rainbow Shade Z16 fabric with 10-year warranties. We design triangular or custom-shaped installations reinforced with stainless steel fittings and heavy-duty stitching. Perfect for playgrounds, pools, or outdoor dining areas, these sails combine functionality with modern design.
Canvas Products
Canvas Products include tonneau covers, gazebo covers, and gear bags tailored to client specifications. We use weather-resistant materials like PVC, acrylic, and WeatherMax 80 for longevity. These products protect vehicles, equipment, and outdoor furniture while offering bespoke solutions for unique shapes and sizes.
Awnings
Awnings feature powder-coated aluminum frames and UV-treated fabrics such as Sunbrella and WeatherMax 80. We install bullnose, folding arm, and automatic models for residential and commercial use. These structures provide adjustable shade and enhance property aesthetics with durable, low-maintenance designs.
