Premium Wood Blinds

Outdoor wood blinds are the perfect blend of natural beauty and smart engineering. Built from premium hardwoods specially treated to handle outdoor life, these aren’t your average window blinds. Each slat is carefully crafted to resist warping and fading, while marine-grade hardware keeps everything running smooth as butter. The best part? They bring that cozy, high-end look to your outdoor space while actually being tough enough to handle real-world conditions. Whether you’re blocking harsh afternoon sun or creating a private outdoor room, these blinds look amazing while doing the heavy lifting.

Today’s outdoor wood blinds come packed with cool features that make them super practical. We’re talking about moisture-resistant finishes that keep the wood looking fresh, UV protective coatings that stop the sun from doing its worst, and smooth-as-silk operating systems that won’t jam up or get sticky in humid weather. Many models now come with motorized controls that hook up to your phone, so you can adjust them without leaving your lounge chair. Plus, they’re available in everything from natural cedar to rich mahogany tones, making it easy to match your existing outdoor décor or create a whole new vibe.

FAQs

Wood Blinds FAQ's

What types of wood are best for outdoor blinds?

Cedar’s the rock star here – naturally resistant to rot and insects. Teak and treated pine are also solid choices. Whatever you pick, make sure it’s properly sealed and treated for outdoor use.

Do wood blinds need more babysitting than other materials?

They need a bit more love than aluminum, but it’s no big deal. A quick wipedown every month or so, and a fresh coat of sealant every couple of years keeps them looking sweet.

Can I leave them down during bad weather?

Best to roll them up during heavy storms. Most motorized versions come with weather sensors that do this automatically – pretty neat, right? Think of it like putting your patio furniture away during nasty weather.

How much sun protection do they really provide?

Tons! When closed, they block up to 95% of UV rays. Plus, you can adjust the slats to let in just the right amount of light without getting cooked by the sun.

Will they fade or get gross after a few years?

Not if you get the good stuff! Quality wood blinds with proper UV protection and sealing can keep looking fresh for 7-10 years. They might develop a nice weathered look over time, but that’s part of the charm.

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.
