Free-Hanging Bracket Screen System

This is the simplest Outdoor Blinds option. The screen hangs freely from a top tube and is secured with clips, bungees or weights at the bottom.

Best for: Open patios, balconies, pergolas and homes needing budget-friendly UV protection with occasional wind.

Why choose Blinds?: A practical, economical solution for reducing glare and heat without a permanent side structure.

Side-Guided Cable or Track System

This option uses Side Cables or discrete U-Tracks to guide the Fabric smoothly down. It reduces side movement and gives your outdoor space a neat, tailored finish. Especially when combined with Somfy Outdoor Blinds Motorisation.

Best for: Semi-enclosed entertainment areas, home patios, and commercial spaces needing moderate wind protection, and half up half down function.

Why choose shades?: Greater stability, improved appearance, and more refined light control than free-hanging systems.
