Transform your exterior look, recover lost revenue from a lack of suitable outdoor space, or capture new revenue turning an under-utilised outdoor area into long-term profits.
At Douglas we will work with you to customise your outdoor space, making the most of your existing assets in combination with our range of high quality outdoor roof, shade and screen systems.
Louvre Roofs
Enhance your outdoor work or dining area with a sophisticated opening louvre roof system. Designed and custom made by NZ Louvres to provide protection from the hot Hawke’s Bay sun, our louvre roofs can either motorised or manually operated, with an option of an inbuilt rain sensor to automatically close the roof and keep your patrons comfortable in any conditions.
Find more information on louvre roofs on our residential louvre roof page.
Retractable Roofs & Shade
Retractable roofs provide the option of having your outdoor hospitality area open to the stars or protected from the elements. With the addition of our outdoor screens, you can create a flexible, custom-designed space that can be adjusted to suit the light, heat or wind. Choose from a perfectly fitted Wave Sail, a retractable cover for your existing pergola or the Oztech range of architectural, retractable roof systems, all custom-made for your restaurant, bar or commercial area.

Ziptrak® Outdoor Screens
Provide your patrons with more room to socialise and dine without increasing your rent. Ziptrak® screens are the natural addition to any roof system, enclosing your outdoor hospitality space and keeping the elements out. The Ziptrak® track guided blind system locks your fabric or PVC into tracks with no gaps to stop any flapping in the wind. At Douglas, we have more than 10 years of experience installing Ziptrak® outdoor screens in Hawke’s Bay so we can ensure you get the result you are after.

Café Blinds
Our customised screen systems are an inexpensive way to extend the outdoor space at your café, restaurant, bar or club. Create an all-weather dining area in the wet and windy winter months that can be rolled away when the weather warms up again. Fabricated in clear, mesh or coloured PVC or canvas, our outdoor café curtains, wind screens or patio blinds are designed and installed specifically for your unique commercial or retail requirements.
