| The Kiwi Summer DREAM TEAM New Zealand is known for its epic summers, and this one is set to be a scorcher! As the days grow longer and we drag our dusty barbeques out of hibernation, everyone is excited to be gathering on decks and patios and backyard bar leaners… until the sun’s glare or the heat of high afternoon pushes us back indoors. But no worries – we’ve got the best team on the block to reclaim your outdoor zen zone.  POLYCARB ROOFING – tough yet lightweight, UV protection, 10-yr warranty, and more!  OMNI SCREEN BLINDS – Shade and privacy are instant with an easy roller system. THE PERFECT SUMMER BLEND Polycarb does the heavy lifting. It allows natural light whilst blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays. Lightweight, impact resistant, and easy to modify to your space and install – a modest superstar for a cool and shaded backyard lounging experience! Omni Blinds add the finishing touch by providing instant privacy, wind and rain shelter or side-glare protection. Available in a range of materials, easy to roll out or tuck away, and custom made to your specific size, these shades are the chic-yet-discreet partner of the team. Working together, these two products offer both overhead protection and discreet side shade to your existing outdoor spaces.  So there you have it – a dream team! Polycarb and Omni Blinds. Great components on their own, but together they are a practical, budget-friendly and stylish upgrade – extending your home while keeping you close to the green. And without the cost of a full-blown build. SHADE OR SHINE – Retractable Awnings does both! We think they’re one of the smartest options out there, but they don’t get nearly enough press… So here goes! A quick, honest list of just a few reasons why we love (and use!) this product:  1) Style Elegant, discreet, and custom-made for your space. Made with quality components and a solid structure, it’s hard to believe they’re so easy to install (you can even DIY!) when they look so good! 2) Flexibility Shade AND sunshine, remember? Easily rolled out for those glaringly-bright afternoons, then slipped back out of the way for some summer star-gazing. A retractable awning can also help reduce the cooling energy required for a house, especially if placed on your home’s “sunny side” 😉 3) Kiwi-made Based in Auckland, Shade Elements is an industry leader when it comes to outdoor awnings and blinds. Their products are made in New Zealand, and have been especially designed for our unique environment. Support local, and shop here!
