The weather stops deciding for you

Clouds build over the braai and nobody moves. The blades close overhead, the rain slides into the gutters, and the evening carries on exactly as planned.

Bright sun to sudden showers in minutes. That is the Garden Route. A louvred awning does not retreat from the weather, it adjusts to it. The gathering continues regardless.

This page has no prices. Only the feeling.

Aluminium louvred awning with adjustable blades installed in Knysna by Custom Blinds
Knysna · Blades from 0 to 180 degrees

Aluminium blades rotate through a full 180 degrees. Flat, and rain runs off into gutters built into the frame. Angled, and the afternoon light arrives filtered. Fully open, and it is winter sun and stargazing. One structure, infinite positions.

Add a rain sensor and the blades close themselves before the first drops reach the table. A wind sensor reads the southeaster building over the lagoon. The patio starts anticipating, the way the rest of the home should.

“A louvred awning is not a roof. But pitch those blades right in a light shower and you can keep braaiing while your mates without one are running inside.”
