Welcome to my blog. My name is Darren. I own several rental properties in Western Australia. Once I had made the purchases, I discovered that several of the properties needed extensive work before I could rent them to tenants, so I had to hire construction contractors, plumbers, electricians, waste disposal experts and roofing experts to make sure the homes were in top condition. Once I had repaired the buildings, I contacted a letting agent who put them on the market for me. I learnt a lot from working with some many different businesses so I decided to start this blog to share everything I know.
Australian's love the outdoors, and with summer approaching like a freight train, many people are starting to think about what additions or renovations they can plan for their outdoor living space. If you have never had outdoor blinds before or your current ones were installed over a decade ago, then you are missing out on all the benefits that these fixtures add to your outdoor experience. Considering how cost-effective they are, it is hard to ignore them compared to other, more expensive updates you could choose. Here are a few reasons that illustrate why outdoor blinds are only becoming more and more popular as time goes on and the word gets out.
Shield Against Summer
While many Australian's enjoy spending time outside during summer, that does not mean they love every aspect of the summer months. The heat, blinding sunlight and constant presence of insects are all features of summer that you could do without, or at least in moderation. Outdoor blinds give you the control you want so that when you want to enjoy the atmosphere outside, you do not have to feel as though you are sitting in a sauna. Simply attach them to your awnings, and you create a mini-indoor area with as many, or as little, outdoor elements as you like.
Safety For Kids
While summer is the time that your kids will be most active, it is also a particularly dangerous time for them. Their skin is less accustomed to harsh UV rays so many kids will burn easier and quicker than their parents. This is more true the younger they are. That does not mean you can't give them an enjoyable time in the outside air though. Outdoor blinds allow them to play and have fun in a safe place that will prevent them from the constant burns that you probably grew up experiencing.
Exceptional All Year Round
While outdoor blinds are certainly used more during the summertime, they do still provide obvious advantages in winter. The main reason why people get so cold outside during winter is because of the southerly winds that blow ice cold air across your decking or back verandah. Outdoor blinds will create a barrier that breaks up this wind and keeps warmth inside. It also solves the problem on those winter days where the sun seems to be constantly getting into everyone's eyes.
