Enclose your patio. Keep the weather out. Keep the view.

Outdoor blinds turn an open patio, balcony or entertainment area into a space you can use all year round. Dropped, they block wind, rain and low sun; rolled up, your view and airflow are back in seconds. They're equally at home sealing off a family braai area as they are keeping a restaurant's outside tables trading through winter.

Matrix manufactures every outdoor blind to measure in South Africa, in your choice of clear PVC or tinted mesh fabrics. Depending on the system, blinds can seal 100% against wind and dust or run with 20mm to 50mm gaps, operated by rope and pulley, crank gear or full motorisation, and branding is available across the range for commercial spaces.

Not sure which system fits your space and budget? The ranges below cover everything from entry-level rope and pulley blinds to our patented Slidetrak system, or request a free on-site measurement and we'll recommend the right blind for your opening.

Our Outdoor Blind Systems

For patios and entertainment areas

Slidetrak or crank blinds. Go Slidetrak for a 100% seal on exposed, windy patios; crank blinds suit sheltered spaces and bigger budgets stretched across several openings.

For restaurants and commercial spaces

Cafe blinds keep outside tables trading in winter, and branding options across the range turn your blinds into signage. Motorisation makes daily opening painless for staff.

On a budget, or doing it yourself

Rope and pulley systems are the affordable entry point, and our DIY outdoor blinds range is delivered nationwide with everything you need to fit them yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Matrix Outdoor Blinds offers a DIY option complete with installation guides, measuring tips, and nationwide delivery. We recommend DIY for standard installations, but always advise an inspection or professional consult for complex setups.

This depends on your goals. If you want privacy and sun protection, sunscreen fabrics with 90–95% UV protection are ideal. For full weather protection, marine-grade vinyl offers durability and clarity without yellowing. For a classic look, imported acrylic canvas is a premium choice.

Our marine-grade vinyl and high-quality sunscreen fabrics offer water resistance, but acrylic canvas is not 100% waterproof if used as a roof cover. Always match the fabric to the function—waterproofing is best with vinyl for weather-heavy spaces.

With the correct fabric for the right application, you can expect a lifespan of 8–10 years on our top-rated acrylics and sunscreen fabrics. Cheaper materials may degrade faster. We only use and recommend high-quality, tested materials.

Yes. Matrix Outdoor Blinds is a licensed exporter and ships to countries including Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, the Indian Ocean islands, the USA, and more. We offer EXW, CFR, and DDP delivery terms.

Our Rope and Pulley system with bottom securing straps is the most affordable outdoor blind we offer. It’s ideal for basic weather protection on patios or restaurants and is DIY-friendly, making it perfect for cost-conscious customers looking for practical coverage.

The basic Rope/Pulley system uses floor straps to hold the blind down, leaving slight side gaps, while the Zipper version seals completely with side zips and requires no floor anchoring. The Zipper system offers better insulation and a neater finish, though installation is slightly more involved.

Yes, our Slidetrak®, BUGGered®, and Rope/Pulley Zipper systems all seal 100% along the sides and base, protecting against wind, dust, and insects. These options are ideal if you want full enclosure with no side or top gaps.

Yes, we offer motorisation options on several systems including the Free Hang Crank Roller, Slidetrak®, and BUGGered® blinds. Motorised controls add convenience, especially for large or high blinds.

Absolutely. We offer a wide selection of colours and fabric types suited to various functions—UV protection, wind resistance, insect control, or rain shelter. Slidetrak® even includes multiple aluminium track colours to suit your décor.

Yes! We offer in-house branding for all our outdoor blinds, making them perfect for restaurants, cafés, bars, and other hospitality venues.
