Outdoor Screens

Custom made outdoor blinds can add a whole new dimension to your outdoor living and entertainment areas. Providing year-round protection from the elements, screens are the natural partner to any roof system, enclosing your outdoor living area for optimum comfort and usability.

Choose between wind screens, manual roll-up screens or the award-winning Ziptrak® spring-loaded, track-guided screen system.

We can help you design and customise your screens for almost any use, including:

Outdoor blinds for decks, balconies, patios and pergolas

Ziptrak® Screens

Stylish and simple to operate, the patented Ziptrak® track-guided blind system is the leading outdoor screen system on the market.

Whether you’re looking to extend your usable space by enclosing your patio, veranda or courtyard area or provide your patrons with more room to socialise and dine without increasing your rent, Ziptrak® screens offer a functional and sophisticated solution.

Fitted with high-performance clear PVC or mesh fabrics, the Ziptrak® system is unobtrusive when up and can be powder-coated to match your décor. With UV protection and special tracks that lock the screen in place to prevent flapping in the wind, the Ziptrak® system will keep you comfortable in all conditions.

At Douglas, we have been fabricating and installing Ziptrak® screens in Hawke’s Bay for more than 12 years so our team can provide expert advice and find the best solution for your needs.

Why use a Ziptrak – spring-balanced vs crank

PVC clear blinds

“The job is done and looks great. What a credit to your company Adam and Liam are. So courteous, professional and perfectionists. It was a pleasure to have them on site.

We got a few of your brochures from Adam because we know there will be people wanting to know where we got the screen from. There was even an inquiry during install. Many thanks.”

PeterTe Awa, Napier

“Many thanks for the Ziptrak blind you installed on our patio. It looks and works perfectly. A great job.”

Paul and DonnaNapier

“Dear Douglas team, thank you for the very professional installation of my Ziptrak system. The two guys were a pleasure to have around and they made sure I fully understood the system. I am really wanting the weather to clear so I can enjoy the benefits!”

LorraineWaipukurau, CHB

“Thanks again for a very professional job. We enjoyed a lovely weekend, enjoying our outdoor entertainment area, through to the early evening – which would not have been possible without the screens.

The two young men who installed them were fantastic. They were very respectful of our property, even vacuuming up the metal filings. They were very friendly and professional, a real credit to the company. They paid attention to detail which meant a lot to us.

I have a background in Interior Design, and colour is very important to me. I was second guessing my colour decision before install day, but I have to say the overall job looks fantastic and works so well on our covered deck.

Overall a great job and finished project. Thanks again to all concerned. We are very happy customers.”

James & MerylTe Awa, Napier

“Bruce and I wanted to say thank you to all of you at Douglas Outdoor who made the process of replacing our Sunroom blinds such a seamless process. From the start to finish, you have all been so professional and did exactly what you said you would do.

We are delighted with the result; we should have used you in the first place! It has been a very pleasurable business experience all around and we will highly recommend you. Thank you again and please do pass this onto your team.”

Louise and Bruce Owners, Birdwoods Gallery Havelock North

Manual and Roll-up Screens

For an inexpensive solution to increase your outdoor space at home, work or school, our manual or roll-up outdoor screens are custom-designed and installed specifically for your unique outdoor space.

Manual and roll-up screens, fabricated in canvas, clear, mesh, or coloured PVC can provide protection from the wind and give you that all-important extra room in the wet winter months while being easily rolled away when the weather warms up.

These screens are the natural addition to any roof system to enclose your outdoor living space beautifully.

Wind Screens

Enhance your outdoor living area with a custom-designed wind screen so you can stay outside even when it gets a bit breezy.

Made from clear PVC or mesh in a range of colours and densities, our wind screens are installed on either vertical or horizontal rollers so they can be rolled out when required and stay out of sight when not.

“It was very unpleasant eating outside in the evening due to the sun shining directly into our faces! The screen we have now installed is wonderful. It has totally solved our problem and are able to use our deck so much more. It’s is so easy to use and discreetly tucked away when not in use.

We thoroughly enjoyed dealing with the staff at Douglas; they were always prompt, on time and professional. I felt completely safe entrusting our job to them – they gave us excellent advice, did very thorough research, and worked to an extremely high standard. I would very highly recommend them… we can’t thank them enough and will definitely use them again!”
