Project Story

Completed:

September, 2025

Location:

Redcliffe, QLD

The Problem:

After installing outdoor blinds, our client had hoped their patio would become a comfortable, bug-free space to relax and entertain. 

Although outdoor blinds provided sun protection and privacy, they weren’t designed to stop insects. The space became dark when blinds were lowered and airflow was restricted, making it impractical for day-to-day use. The clients wanted an outdoor solution that would actually eliminate bugs without blocking the breeze or the view.

The Solution:

Suncoast Outdoor Living designed and installed a custom outdoor screening system that enclosed the patio without compromising natural light or airflow. The new design allowed our client to retain their existing blinds for sun and weather control, while adding a permanent insect barrier. A screen roof was added to extend the outdoor area beyond the home’s roofline, creating a larger, more functional space.

What We Delivered
  • Bug and leaf-free living – Fully enclosed area with no compromise on views
  • Screened roof extension – Expanded the usable space beyond the original slab
  • Seamless design – Existing outdoor blinds retained for full sun control
  • Self-closing doors – Two custom-built, gap-free entry points for convenience
  • Improved airflow – Open feel without sacrificing comfort or protection
  • Onsite fabrication – Precision fit with no gaps for pests to enter
The Result

Our client now enjoys a fully enclosed outdoor area that is light, airy and free from unwanted pests. With the combination of their existing blinds and the new screening system, they can control the environment throughout the day without losing their view or airflow. It’s a transformation that turns their patio into a practical and enjoyable space all year round.
