Cape Town Wind Considerations

The South-Easter ("Cape Doctor") is Cape Town's defining weather feature. Summer winds regularly exceed 50km/h, with gusts hitting 80km/h+. Standard outdoor blinds will flap violently, damage themselves, and fail within months.

Our Recommendations by Location:

High Wind Exposure:

Atlantic Seaboard, Blouberg, Table View

Ziptrak® systems ONLY
Standard café blinds will fail. Invest in track-guided systems or don't bother.

Moderate Wind:

Northern Suburbs, City Bowl (sheltered)

Café blinds or slide track
Standard systems work if quality PVC and reinforced mounting used.

Sheltered Areas:

Constantia, Southern Peninsula valleys

Any system suitable
Standard outdoor rollers or café blinds perform well.

Covered Patios:

Under roof/pergola protection

Outdoor roller blinds
Cost-effective shade and privacy without wind concerns.
