Ziptrak® Blinds
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® Blinds offer a functional and sophisticated solution.
Fitted with high-performance clear PVC or mesh fabrics, the Ziptrak® Track-Guided Blind 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® Track-Guided Blind System will keep you comfortable in all conditions.
At Douglas, we have been fabricating and installing Ziptrak® Blinds in Hawke’s Bay for more than 12 years so our team can provide expert advice and find the best solution for your needs.

Manual and Roll-up Blinds
For an inexpensive solution to increase your outdoor space at home, work or school, our manual or roll-up outdoor blinds are custom-designed and installed specifically for your unique outdoor space.
Manual and roll-up blinds, 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 blinds are the natural addition to any roof system to enclose your outdoor living space beautifully.
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!”
