New Zealand homes are built around light, open spaces, but too much sun or wind can quickly limit how often those outdoor areas are enjoyed. Our outdoor shade solutions are designed to bring balance, offering protection, comfort and year-round usability without compromising the character of your patio, deck or backyard.
At Total Look Blinds, we focus on systems that feel purposeful, streamlined and genuinely helpful in everyday life. Behind the clean design is a focus on quality materials and hardware made for outdoor use. The result is a system that feels considered, dependable and built to last
Whether you want a cooler place to relax, a sheltered spot for gatherings or simply a more adaptable outdoor zone, our outdoor shade systems are custom-made to suit your space and the way you use it.
Our outdoor shade solutions are designed to feel integrated rather than added on. Both our awnings and our outdoor retractable shades are made to support comfort, reduce heat exposure and create a more versatile outdoor environment, all while keeping the visual impact refined and unobtrusive.

Patios often sit at the centre of daily routines, which means shade needs to work reliably without drawing attention to itself. Our shade solutions for patio areas are tailored to improve comfort through UV reduction, moderated temperatures and gentle light control. They help maintain airflow and a clear sense of connection to the garden, while adding the kind of everyday practicality that encourages you to use the space more often.
Decks are typically exposed, which can make them difficult to enjoy during peak sun hours. Our shade solutions for decks provide a softer, more usable environment by filtering light and reducing glare while still preserving outlooks. The focus is on creating a comfortable outdoor zone that supports gatherings, quiet time or anything in between.


Backyards evolve continually, so flexibility matters. Our backyard shade solutions allow you to shape areas for lounging, dining or play with a level of protection that suits your landscape. These systems introduce structure without dominating the space and help you create defined zones that feel inviting, functional and tailored to the way your household lives.
If you’re ready to create a more comfortable, adaptable outdoor space, our team is here to help you explore the right shade solution for your home.
We offer more than one style. Alongside our outdoor retractable roller systems, we also provide awning-style options so you can choose the outdoor shade solution that best suits your patio, deck or backyard layout.
