Wind and rain screens for verandas and pergolas

Wind and rain screens are roll-down blinds in clear PVC or technical fabric that close the sides of verandas, pergolas, gazebos and restaurant patios. They come down when you need shelter and roll up out of sight when you don’t.

The systems

• Crystal-clear PVC screens with side fixings or guides: the simplest, most transparent solution.
• Zip screens: the edge of the fabric runs with a zip inside the guides, so it stays taut even in strong wind. This is the closure we recommend in windy areas.
• Technical screen fabrics: in summer they shield from the low sun.

Operated by crank or motor, also with a wind sensor.

Where they are used

Verandas and porches, pergolas and bioclimatic pergolas, bar and restaurant patios. For a more insulating closure, see glass enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit?

Roll-down screens usually don’t create a permanently closed space, but rules vary by country and local authority: check before ordering.

Does PVC turn yellow?

Quality PVC stays clear for a long time if cleaned with water and mild soap, without alcohol or solvents.

Can they be fitted to an existing pergola?

Often yes, if the posts and beams allow the guides to be fixed. We check it at the survey.
