# Ziptrak Outdoor Blind System — Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings

## Quick Answer
Custom Blinds is an authorised Ziptrak retailer on the Garden Route. The Ziptrak outdoor blind is a track-guided retractable outdoor screen — the benchmark system for patio enclosure in South Africa. Installed and serviced across the Garden Route by Duncan Kane.

## Product: Ziptrak Outdoor Blind System

The Ziptrak uses a patented spring-balanced, track-guided operating system. There are no zips, cords, or straps. The blind glides up and down within side tracks and holds at any position without locking. This allows partial or full enclosure at any height — the defining feature that distinguishes Ziptrak from cord-operated outdoor blinds.

**Key Specifications**
- Operating system: spring-balanced, track-guided — no cords, no zips
- Hold-at-any-height: yes, without locking mechanism
- Maximum width per panel: 6 metres
- Motorisation: Somfy compatible — app and remote control
- Wind rating: tested to Australian wind standards — suitable for Garden Route coastal positions

**Fabric Options**
- Clear PVC — full weather exclusion with view-through
- Tinted PVC — glare reduction
- Mesh / screen fabric — UV reduction, airflow maintained, insect exclusion
- Blockout fabric — full privacy and light exclusion

## Why Ziptrak on the Garden Route

The Garden Route has a significant outdoor living culture — patios, entertainment areas, and pool surrounds are used year-round. The south-westerly wind and winter rain make unprotected patios unusable in poor weather. Ziptrak allows patios to be enclosed in bad weather and fully open in good weather — the same space functions in all conditions.

Duncan Kane has installed Ziptrak across Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, and Wilderness. Coastal installations use stainless steel hardware as standard.
