Cafe and pub garden blinds, made to measure.

Stop losing trading days to the weather. Clear PVC blinds for cafe terraces, pub gardens, restaurants, glamping sites and venues. Keep the covers full and the customers outside, whatever the forecast.

The numbers behind it

A covered terrace pays for itself in one wet weekend.

Every venue with outdoor covers knows the feeling of watching the forecast and writing off the takings. Clear PVC blinds take that out of the equation. The terrace stays open, the bookings hold, and the cost of the blinds is usually covered by the first weekend you would otherwise have lost.

What they are

What cafe blinds actually are

Cafe blinds are clear PVC screens that roll down to close an outdoor space off from wind and rain while you still see straight through them. The view stays, the weather goes.

Ours are built on a 100mm extruded aluminium tube using marquee and yacht grade clear PVC, the same material we have tried and tested across the range. Made to the exact size of your opening and supplied pre assembled.

  • UV resistant and fire retardant
  • Up to 5m wide and 2.8m drop per blind
  • Motorised option for terraces worked daily

Who we work with

Built for venues that trade outdoors

Pub gardens

Keep the garden trading through showers and cold evenings, and stretch the season at both ends. The smoking area and the covered seating both stay usable in February.

Cafes and coffee shops

Cafe blinds turn a pavement or courtyard into year round covers. Customers sit outside with a coffee in the rain and you keep the tables earning.

Restaurant terraces

Terrace covers that stay comfortable and bookable in any weather, so you take the booking with confidence rather than hedging on the forecast.

Glamping sites

Sheltered outdoor space keeps guests happy and reviews high when the weather turns. Firepit areas and communal decks stay in use all season.

Wedding venues

A protected outdoor area means the day goes ahead as planned, rain or shine, and the photographs still show the garden rather than a marquee wall.

Farm shops

Covered seating and display areas that keep customers and stock comfortable year round, without closing the frontage in.

Garden centre cafes

Extend the cafe out under a canopy and keep the covers filled on the wet weekends when the plants are not selling anyway.

Hotels and holiday parks

Terraces, bar areas and poolside seating that hold their value through a British summer and keep earning outside it.

How it works

From forecast anxiety to a signed off quote

1. Send us the openings

Width from post centre to post centre, drop from the top of the tube down. Send every opening you want covered. If you are unsure, ring us and we will walk you through it.

2. We quote the whole job

One itemised written quote covering every opening, priced separately so you can phase the work or take it to a board in one piece.

3. Made and delivered

Around two to three weeks from order, delivered across UK mainland, pre assembled with fitting instructions and an installation video.

Common questions

Hospitality questions, answered plainly

Nothing, other than where they are fitted. Both are clear PVC roller blinds made to the size of your opening. The name changes with the setting, the product does not. The same blind goes on a coffee shop courtyard, a pub garden terrace and a wedding venue veranda.

Yes. We quote whole venues regularly, every opening made to measure. Send us the dimensions of the blinds you need and we will work up a quote for the full job.

Yes. You will get a clear, itemised written quote you can put straight into a budget or sign off. It lists each opening separately so you can phase the work across more than one financial year if you need to.

Around two to three weeks from order, delivered across UK mainland. If you are trying to be ready for a season or an event, tell us the date and we will be honest about whether we can meet it.

Yes. The clear PVC is UV resistant and fire retardant. It is the same grade used for marquee and yacht windows, so it is built for permanent outdoor use rather than a season.

Yes, and for a terrace worked daily we would suggest the motorised option. The blind is supplied on a 100mm extruded aluminium tube and runs in self colour or black side channels, so it drops true and sits drum tight every time.

Usually not for retractable blinds on an existing structure, but the rules vary by council and are stricter for listed buildings and conservation areas. Check with your local planning authority before you order.
