Retreat outdoors and be protected by a shade system
Your Patio, Pergola or Deck Motorised Roof Shading Systems are the place to find solace as the it starts to heat up!
The trouble is, with backyards trending smaller and suburbia more concentrated, the days of the seeking shade under our own sprawling tree canopy are, for most of us, long gone.
So, how do we create our own comfortable retreat while enjoying the outdoor space we do have?
One way is to install a patio shade system.
The good news is that the options available have grown considerably over the years. And no matter what system you choose, it guarantees to blend functionality with a look that’s easy on the eyes.
Here are three patio outdoor shade systems we recommend.
1. Pleated Patio Shade Systems – Motorised
Pleated Patio Shade Systems are known for their visually appealing design and versatile functionality. This a product that can be used all year round so you can utilise your outdoor area even in winter.
They feature pleated fabric panels (no surprises there) that neatly fold when retracted, creating a sophisticated look that complements an array of outdoor settings.
You can adjust the level of shade to suit the conditions. And, because they’re made from durable, weather-resistant fabrics designed to withstand sun exposure, rain, and wind, you’ll get years of comfort out of your investment.

2. Giotto Fabric Tension Shade Systems – Motorised
The Glotto Fabric Tension Shade System combines state-of-the-art, modern engineering with a sleek, tight finish. It also provides superior sun protection. Ideal use for sunny hot days in summer.
The tightly stretched fabric of the Glotto ensures complete coverage, which helps protect your outdoor furniture from fading. And unlike traditional shade systems which may flap in the wind, fabric tension systems remain securely in place. This makes them ideal for locations exposed to strong winds.
Oh, and you can pimp your shade system with a motorised control. One push of a button, and you’re done.
Giotto Fabric Tension Shade Systems are ideal for homeowners who want shade and style in equal measure.
3. Folding Arm Awnings
When people think of Folding Arm Awnings (which we’re sure they regularly do), they might think of the retro-style brown, orange and white vertical stripes that adorned their parents’ suburban weatherboard home.
But folding arm awnings have come a long way and are still incredibly popular. They provide excellent coverage and easily fold away when not in use, making them a versatile solution for patios, balconies, and sun-exposed windows.
Since folding arm awnings retract completely, they don’t take up any room. This makes them ideal for homes with limited outdoor space.
There are heaps of designs, colours, and materials to choose from (yes, the brown, orange and white stripes are still available if you want to recapture your childhood). This range lets you choose a style that perfectly complements your home.
Like pleated shades, folding arm awnings can help regulate the temperature inside your home by stopping direct sunlight from entering through windows or doors. This helps reduce your cooling costs. Motorised awnings are also an option.
Weinor Kubata + LED Folding Arm Awning
This is a sleek, modern shading solution ideal for patios and outdoor spaces.
With a cubic design and durable aluminium frame, Weinor Kubata awnings work beautifully with modern architecture and offer excellent sun protection.
The bright spot in this system is its integrated, energy-efficient LED lighting. With adjustable brightness, it’s perfect for any time of the evening and night. The folding arm mechanism operates quietly and smoothly, with options for manual or motorised control.
Of course, there’s various fabric and colour options for you to choose from.
Investing in a patio shade system can transform your outdoor space into a private retreat where you can relax and enjoy your piece of the world.
