Welcome to the Slidetrak® blind system (SA Patent 2011/08925) – Our top selling outdoor blind product to the high-end market, yet currently the most affordable of its kind compared to other competitors.
Designed and manufactured in South Africa, Slidetrak® has become an instant success. The name Slidetrak® refers to the actual track on the side of the blind that guides the fabric up and down.
There are currently a handful of track systems on the market that only stabilize the bottom pipe. The Slidetrak® design holds and locks the fabric in place along the entire length of the blind.
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.
