Port Stephens Awnings

Outdoor areas should be enjoyed year-round—not avoided because of glare, heat or exposure to the elements. That’s where custom awnings make all the difference. At Barry’s Affordable Blinds in Port Stephens, we offer a wide range of outdoor awnings designed to reduce UV exposure, create comfortable shade and protect your space from wind and rain. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck, entertaining guests or looking to block the afternoon sun from hitting your windows, there’s a style and fabric to suit your space.

We understand every property is different, which is why all our awnings are made to measure and tailored to your needs. From fully enclosed patios and apartment balconies to commercial outdoor spaces, we’ll help you find the right solution.

Track-Guided Ziptrak Awnings

Ziptrak awnings offer a premium, track-guided outdoor blind system designed for comfort and ease of use. The unique side channels hold the fabric securely in place, so there’s no flapping or gaps—just smooth operation and complete coverage. You can stop the blind at any height, giving you full control over privacy, airflow and weather protection. These are especially popular for outdoor areas like verandahs, patios and alfresco spaces where you still want a view but without the exposure.

Choose from mesh for airflow and filtered light or clear/tinted PVC for full wind and rain protection. With no cords or cranks required, Ziptrak awnings are safer for families and easy for anyone to use.

Pivot Arm Awnings

Pivot arm awnings are a smart choice for windows where you want to reduce sun exposure but still let the breeze in. The fabric projects outwards from the window on a set of sturdy arms, creating an angled barrier that blocks direct sunlight while encouraging air circulation. They’re ideal for upper-floor windows, balconies or spaces where traditional awnings might be too bulky.

These awnings are manually or motor-operated and are available in a range of fabrics and colours to suit your exterior. They’re especially useful for maintaining cooler indoor temperatures without relying on air conditioning.

Folding Arm Awnings

Folding arm awnings are the perfect solution for creating temporary shade in large outdoor spaces. Mounted to a wall or ceiling, they extend out horizontally when you need cover and retract completely when you don’t—leaving no visible frame or obstruction. This makes them ideal for decks, poolside entertaining areas, cafés and courtyards where open space and versatility are key.

They come in both manual and motorised versions and are available with optional wind or sun sensors. With a wide variety of colours and fabric types, you can match them to your home’s style while enjoying effortless comfort and functionality.

Durable Fixed Caribbean Awnings

Caribbean awnings are a fixed, heavy-duty shading solution designed for year-round protection. Made from robust metal with powder-coated finishes, they provide a permanent barrier against harsh sunlight, rain and weather exposure. These are commonly used above windows and doors, particularly in homes exposed to direct sun or coastal conditions.

While they don’t retract, their simple design and solid build make them a reliable choice for those wanting low-maintenance, high-impact protection. They’re also ideal for adding architectural detail to the front of a home or commercial building.

Modern Automated Awning Systems

Automated awnings offer a unique combination of convenience and modern style. With the touch of a button—or through your smartphone or home automation system—you can extend or retract your awnings exactly when you need them. This is perfect for those with hard-to-reach areas, larger installations, or simply a preference for a streamlined, cord-free look.

Motorised systems are available across a range of awning types, including Ziptrak, folding arm and pivot arm styles. You can even set timers or link them to weather sensors, helping you get the most out of your outdoor space without lifting a finger.
