Outdoor blinds are an excellent investment for Perth homes and businesses, offering greater comfort and notable energy savings. By blocking harsh sun and heat before it reaches your windows, quality outdoor blinds stop a large share of the heat that would otherwise come through your glass and into the house.
This keeps interiors cooler in summer and reduces reliance on air-conditioning, leading to lower power bills. Blinds also shield alfresco areas from wind, rain, and glare, effectively turning patios into year-round entertaining spaces. However, getting these benefits depends on choosing a reputable installer – one who provides proper measurement, high-grade materials, and reliable after-sales support.
Below we review seven of Perth’s top outdoor blind companies. A quick word first: this article is written by All About Shade, and we have put ourselves at number one. You probably saw that coming. So rather than pretend otherwise, here is how we ranked everyone, and you can decide for yourself whether we have been fair.
How we ranked them (and why we are at the top)
We looked at four things for each company. Google and ProductReview ratings, and the number of reviews behind them (figures as published when we checked in early 2026). Years in the business and whether the company is still independently owned. Product range and whether they are an authorised installer of the systems they sell. And how they handle the bits nobody enjoys talking about: warranties and after sales support. Where a figure comes from a company’s own website, we have said so.
Our case for the top spot, in plain terms: 396 Google reviews across our three Google Business Profiles (All About Shade South 174, All About Shade North 114, All About Shade South West 108), more than 35 years of combined experience keeping out the elements, a 5 Year Guarantee on every installation, authorised Ziptrak® retailer status, and the fact that we are privately and independently West Australian owned and operated. There is no franchise head office or shareholder to answer to, which means when a job needs doing properly, we do it properly, even when it costs us a little more. We would rather do the right thing than make an extra dollar.

#1. All About Shade – Best Overall 🌟
About
All About Shade is a WA owned specialist focusing on outdoor blinds and shade solutions across Western Australia. The team brings 35+ years of collective experience in “keeping out the elements,” and only uses qualified tradespeople along with top-quality products.
They are WA owned and operated, offering personalized service from initial consult to installation. All About Shade stands by its workmanship with a 5-Year installation guarantee on every project, reflecting confidence in their quality.
Product Range & Specialisations
This company provides a comprehensive range of outdoor shading options. They are an authorised supplier of Ziptrak® track-guided blinds, including clear PVC café blinds and heavy-duty sunscreen mesh blinds. They also offer eZIP® track blinds, roof-to-fence blinds for neighbour privacy, classic crank-and-clip blinds, folding arm awnings, and even external aluminium shutters.
All products are designed to withstand WA’s climate – from intense UV and heat to coastal winds – and can be motorised or manually operated. Notably, All About Shade custom-builds blinds up to 6m wide with marine-grade components, suitable for both metro and regional conditions.
Customer Satisfaction
All About Shade is one of Perth’s best rated outdoor blind providers, with 396 Google reviews across its three Google Business Profiles (South 174, North 114, South West 108). The live rating for our South profile is shown in the review widget below. Customers consistently praise the exceptional service quality and professionalism of the team, noting smooth installations and meticulous workmanship.
Many reviews highlight the company’s helpful advice and friendly, knowledgeable staff who ensure each blind fits perfectly and functions smoothly. Clients also appreciate All About Shade’s competitive pricing – especially for regional jobs, as they don’t charge hefty travel fees for country areas. This combination of value and quality has led to the majority of new business coming via referrals. In short, All About Shade has earned a stellar reputation for delivering the best all-round outdoor blind experience in WA.
Differentiators
What makes All About Shade stand out is its laser focus on WA conditions and client needs. Their mobile consultants travel far and wide (from Perth metro to Geraldton, and Kalbarri, and even into the East through to Lake Grace), carrying fabric samples to tailor solutions for each location.
Every component they use – from UV-stabilised mesh fabrics to stainless steel fixings – is specified to handle extreme sun, salt and high level winds in WA’s harshest climates. This climate-centric approach, combined with long warranties (5 years on installation, 7 years on fabrics and 10 years on hardware), gives customers peace of mind that their investment will last.
The installers get singled out in reviews more than anything else. With an experienced fitting team, high standards and proper training, the installation crews are what customers remember.
All About Shade also offers design flexibility (e.g. hood boxes to hide and protect the fabric when not in use) and integration of smart automation like Linx motors and wind sensors. With free measure-and-quote consultations and a commitment to high-quality, locally made products, that is why, cards on the table, we have put ourselves at number one.
#2. Aussie Outdoor Blinds
About
Aussie Outdoor is a WA founded outdoor blind franchise that has grown dramatically since starting in Busselton in 2004. It now operates a 30+ store franchise network across WA and other states. Each franchise is locally owned, with showrooms and mobile consultants servicing their area.
The company built its name by targeting coastal cafés, pubs, and windy backyard patios where ordinary blinds struggle. Aussie Outdoor’s philosophy is to engineer blinds that survive Western Australia’s notorious winds and harsh sun without cracking or tearing. All manufacturing is done in WA using marine-grade materials, ensuring consistent quality control for every order.
Product Range & Specialisations
Aussie Outdoor offers a range of heavy-duty alfresco blinds. Their signature products include patented “Aussie Clear” PVC café blinds, which create a fully enclosed warm space in winter without blocking the view.
For summer, they have Eclipse mesh blinds in 95% or 99% UV block variants to cut glare and heat while allowing airflow. Blinds feature reinforced zips, high-tensile stitching, and stainless steel bottom fittings built to withstand extreme gusts. Blinds are custom-measured and fabricated in WA, with turnaround times around 1–2 weeks for standard colours.
Installations are handled by in-house installers who tension and quality-check every blind, and provide a care guide upon completion. This end-to-end process results in robust outdoor blinds ideal for exposed coastal or hills environments.
Customer Satisfaction
Aussie Outdoor enjoys a strong reputation, particularly among homeowners and business owners in high-wind zones. Many Perth café owners swear by Aussie Outdoor blinds for keeping their alfresco areas operational through winter.
Customers frequently mention the durability and clever design of the blinds – for example, zip tracks that don’t rattle in the sea breeze, and PVC that stays clear and taut over years of use. The company’s various franchise locations have earned mostly positive local reviews, with people citing quick turnaround times, friendly service, and the peace of mind that the blinds still look like new after 5–10 years. Aussie Outdoor’s emphasis on quality is further reflected in stories of responsive after-sales service, such as fixing minor issues even beyond the warranty period.
Notable Strengths
Aussie Outdoor’s biggest strength is wind resistance by design. Every blind is over-engineered for WA’s coastal conditions – a standout feature for seaside homeowners or anyone in windy suburbs. This high-wind specialty extends to patented technologies and heavy-duty fittings unique to their franchise. They also offer fast manufacturing and installation, thanks to their local production and broad franchise network.
The combination of showrooms and mobile vans means customers can either see displays in person or get on-site advice. Additionally, Aussie Outdoor often highlights its local content: by making everything in Western Australia and using Aussie-made components, they keep quality high and support local jobs. Overall, Aussie Outdoor Blinds is a top choice if you need tough blinds for tough conditions, with a solid track record across WA homes and businesses.
#3. Australian Outdoor Living – One-Stop Outdoor Renovator
About
Australian Outdoor Living (AOL) is a national home improvement company that offers much more than just blinds. Established in the early 2000s, AOL has grown to over 300 staff across five states and has physical showrooms/mobile consultants in WA (as well as SA, VIC, NSW, QLD). They brand themselves as a “one-stop lifestyle renovator,” able to design entire outdoor spaces- from patios and decking to artificial turf and pools – with outdoor blinds as one component. In Perth, their local WA branch handles projects end-to-end: from free design consultation and measure, through manufacturing, to installation and aftercare. Being a larger company, Australian Outdoor Living provides a structured process and longer-term support.
Product Range & Specialisations
Australian Outdoor Living focuses on two main systems tailored for Australian climates. First are their clear PVC café blinds, custom-made to enclose patios and trap warmth during Perth’s cooler months. Second is their “Envirotex” high-density mesh blinds, which block up to 99% of UV rays while allowing ventilation. Both types can be built as track-guided blinds for easy sliding, or fitted with motorisation for push-button control.
AOL colour-matches the blinds’ hardware to popular Colorbond® roof/gutter colours for a seamless look with your home. Beyond blinds, they also install roller shutters and shade sails, but outdoor blinds are a core offering. Every blind comes with a 10-year warranty on materials.
Customers can book a free in-home design consultation, during which AOL’s consultant brings large fabric panels and samples so you can see and feel the materials in your space. Manufacturing is done locally in each state branch, which keeps average lead times to about 4 weeks. AOL also offers financing to help spread out the cost of larger projects.
Customer Satisfaction
Australian Outdoor Living has completed thousands of installations, and feedback is generally positive. On ProductReview, AOL’s Perth division holds about a 4.0 out of 5 rating from 400+ reviews, and nationwide it’s around 4.3 from over 3,000 reviews (ProductReview figures as at early 2026). Customers often praise the professionalism and knowledge of AOL’s design consultants – helping choose the right fabric or configuration for their patio. The quality of the blinds and workmanship is another highlight: many note that the blinds “look and feel premium” and perform well over time. Positive themes include smooth installation processes and good after-install follow-up to fix any minor issues. However, some reviews mention that, as a large company, scheduling can sometimes be slower or sales tactics a bit pushy. Overall, though, most Perth clients report being very satisfied with the end result, enjoying cooler alfresco areas and well-fitted blinds.
Notable Strengths
Australian Outdoor Living’s key strength is its holistic approach to outdoor living projects. Because they also build pergolas, decking, outdoor kitchens, etc., AOL can ensure your new blinds integrate with the bigger picture of your backyard design. This “design-first” philosophy is great for homeowners doing complete makeovers – the blinds won’t be an afterthought, but rather coordinated with any new patio roof or structure.
Another advantage is robust warranties and support: a 10-year warranty on outdoor blind materials, plus a dedicated customer care line for any issues, give peace of mind. AOL’s size also means they have established processes – from the initial consult to their professional installers in WA, you get a fairly seamless experience. They may not be the cheapest option, but they are known for high-quality products and a polished service.
#4. Westral – 50 Years of Local Quality
About

All Westral blinds are custom measured and made in their WA factory, using materials engineered for the local climate (high UV, strong winds). In addition to blinds, Westral manufactures security doors and screens, roller shutters, indoor blinds of all types, and plantation shutters. This all-under-one-roof capability means they can coordinate products.

Reviews often describe the installers as punctual, polite, and thorough, with the blinds fitting exactly and operating smoothly. Many customers also appreciate that Westral handles everything directly, which can translate to better quality control. The quality of materials gets a lot of praise – for example, the fabrics and mechanisms still look “as good as new” after years of Perth sun.
Notable Strengths
Westral’s main strength is its uncompromising commitment to quality. They design and build products specifically to handle WA’s harsh conditions, and it shows – their blinds are renowned for providing “years of trouble-free service.” This quality focus is backed by standout warranty policies.

Indeed, many customers find their pricing fair given the superior materials and in-house work. With local manufacturing since 1973, Westral can handle large or complex jobs and ensure it’s done right the first time.
#5. Kenlow – Experienced and Versatile Shade Experts
About

This diversity shows Kenlow’s versatility: from a backyard pergola blind to a bespoke industrial canvas, they handle it all.
Customer Satisfaction

Their Google reviews share common praises including friendly, helpful service and installers who are tidy and efficient. Many clients return after 10–20 years for new products, specifically because the old ones lasted so well.
Notable Strengths
Kenlow’s strengths lie in its rich experience and personalised service. With over 50 years in the game, they have a deep understanding of what works for outdoor shading in WA. Kenlow is also proud of being truly local, manufacturing everything in WA. Another strength is their breadth of offerings – they can be a one-stop shop for various shade needs. Their philosophy of “you will never have a problem, it will be our problem” means they are very customer-focused in after-sales service.
