Zip Screens
Zipped side-channel screens that close a deck or patio in against wind and drizzle without losing the forest or lagoon view — the product that turns a Garden Route deck into a room you can use through a light Wilderness mist.
The zip difference
The fabric edge is welded into a zipper that runs captive in aluminium side channels — no flapping, no gaps, real wind resistance. Ordinary drop screens flap and escape their guides in the wind that Mossel Bay's open bay front and an exposed Wilderness dune position both see on a regular afternoon.
02Fabric choices for a wet corridor
Sunscreen mesh gives view-out, glare and UV down, insects out, and daytime privacy in. Clear PVC or crystal panels turn a deck into a genuinely wind-and-rain-proof room — the practical choice on a corridor that gets rain in every month, not just a wet season. Blockout panels suit an outdoor cinema setup or a west-facing sun kill on a Sedgefield or Mossel Bay patio.
03Where it earns its keep
Deck and braai-room enclosures on exposed coastal positions — Mossel Bay's bay front, an open Wilderness dune frontage — where wind-sensor motorisation is standard, and lagoon-facing patios in Sedgefield wanting enclosure without losing the water view.
- Wind-sensor motorisation standard on exposed coastal positions
- Clear PVC option keeps a deck usable through the corridor's wetter months
- Colour-matched channels to timber, stone or render facades
Not the same as a roller blind
Zip screens are an exterior wind-and-weather product on captive side channels. For interior light control on the same home, see our Roller or Day & Night ranges.
Decks and braai rooms from George to Mossel Bay lean on zip screens to stay usable through wind and a wet month or two.
