Verandah Blinds & Awnings near Lake MacDonald

Lake MacDonald sits just south of the Cooroy township, a quiet freshwater lake surrounded by a small community of acreage properties that attract residents seeking a true rural retreat within easy reach of both the hinterland town and the coast.

Properties here are typically large and private, with long verandahs and generous outdoor areas that back directly onto native bushland or the lake's edge.

It's an extraordinarily beautiful place to live — but the combination of westerly afternoon sun, rich bushland insect populations, and occasional wildlife activity close to the house can make unprotected outdoor areas frustrating to use in the warmer months.

Our dense insect mesh blind systems are particularly well suited to Lake MacDonald's situation: installed across the full width of a verandah, they create a sealed outdoor room that keeps insects out and wildlife at a comfortable distance while preserving the natural outlook.

For the west-facing afternoon sun problem, a wide-projection crank-and-clip café blind or a folding arm awning provides immediate relief and dramatically reduces the heat load on the home's interior through the hottest part of the day.
