Built for the tough stuff.

If your alfresco's exposed to wind, weather or just deserves something premium — this is the kit that handles it.

Strong winds

Side channels lock the fabric in. The blind stays flush, taut and rattle-free even when the southerly's hammering.

Driving rain

The channel-to-frame seal keeps wind-blown rain out so your alfresco stays dry, clean and usable.

A premium look

Flush, minimal, clean lines. Channels sit inside the frame so the only thing you see is the blind. Architecturally happy.

Forever, not seasonal

Built tough enough to live up year-round. Manual or motor — same robust frame, same long-term build.

Why this blind

Our most premium outdoor blind.

The Channel is a step up — premium frame, weather-tight seal, and the cleanest finish we make.

Where it goes

Three places it'll fit.

The Premium Channel needs solid framing on both sides for the channels to mount to. Here are the openings it's built for.

How it works

From measure to installed, in 3 steps.

Custom-made in about 3 weeks, then shipped to your door. Most kits go up in a Saturday afternoon.

01

Measure & customise

Watch our 5-minute measure video, then plug your size, fabric, frame colour and motor option into the online configurator.

02

We make it in Perth

Cut, sewn and packed at our Canning Vale workshop. Quality-checked twice before it's boxed for shipping.

03

You install at home

Open the box, follow the install video, fit it in a weekend. We're on the phone if you get stuck.

Before you order

Get ready to measure.

Three measurements, five minutes, one tape. Channels need vertical mounting points on both sides — measure those first.

A

Width

Edge to edge of your opening. Measure top, middle and bottom — use the smallest.

B

Drop

From your top fix point straight down to where the bottom rail will sit.

C

Channel mounts

Both sides need a flat vertical surface for the channels to mount to — wall, post or fascia.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is the Channel different from the Crank & Clip?

Two key differences:

Side channels. The Channel has aluminium tracks each side that guide the blind up and down, so the fabric stays flat and tight. The Crank & Clip uses bottom clips instead.

Weather seal. Channels seal against the frame, so the blind handles wind and wind-blown rain better. Better fit for exposed sites and coastal homes.

The Channel is more premium-looking, costs a bit more, and needs vertical mounting points on both sides for the channels.

How long does it take to make and ship?

From order to delivery is typically 3 weeks Australia-wide — that covers manufacture and shipping. Bigger or motorised builds may add a few days. We'll email you a dispatch tracker the day it leaves Canning Vale.

Do I need a tradie to install it?

No — the Channel is designed to be DIY. It's a step harder to fit than the Crank & Clip because the channels need to line up perfectly each side, but our install video walks you through every step. A cordless drill, a level, a tape measure and a mate is all you need.

If you're in Perth or the South West and you'd rather not, we also do measure-and-install.

What's the maximum size I can order?

5.4m wide × 3.0m drop in a single blind. If your opening is bigger than that, we'll split it into two blinds with a centre post. The configurator will tell you when you enter your sizes.

Is it storm-rated?

The Channel is the most weather-resistant DIY blind we make. It handles strong winds and wind-blown rain that would defeat a clip-down blind. It's not engineered to a specific cyclone rating — for full storm-rated outdoor enclosures in cyclonic zones, talk to us about a custom Perth install.

Can it be motorised?

Yes — the Channel is the most motorisation-friendly blind we make. Pick the motorised option in the configurator and we'll build a tubular motor and remote into the kit. You'll need a power point within 1m of the gearbox end of the frame, or you can choose a battery motor.

What colours can I choose?

Pick the fabric colour and the powder-coat colour for the frame, bottom rail and channels. UV-stable, sun-rated and proven in WA conditions.

See every colour, side by side, on our Fabrics page.

What's the warranty?

5-year frame and component warranty. 3-year fabric warranty. Real Australian backup — call our Perth team if anything's not right.
