Genuine Ziptrak, fitted by a certified Ziptrak installer
Ziptrak is an Australian system. Our Ziptrak blinds in NZ are made and assembled here in New Zealand, and we measure, supply and install Ziptrak outdoor blinds across Auckland.
We're listed on Ziptrak Australia's own website as a certified New Zealand installer. For you, that means someone listed, accountable and checkable before you sign.
It's one of several outdoor blinds and outdoor screens we fit. One of the owners measures, our own team installs, and Roman leads the job.
How Ziptrak works: the spline in the channel
Pull the blind down on a gusty evening and the fabric stays flat, so the rain stays off the table and the view stays clear. A spline down each side of the fabric runs inside a channel and is very hard to pull out of the guide. It's Roman's first choice to install.
Stops at any height
Half shade, full shelter or locked at the bottom: pull the blind down by hand, let go, and it stays where you leave it.
Built for Auckland wind
Ziptrak moved from a fine zip to the bigger spline for exactly this reason, and it's proven the sturdiest of our outdoor blinds in high winds.
No outdoor blind is storm-proof, so roll it up in strong winds and never leave it down in a storm. For overhead shade, our retractable awnings pair well with side blinds.
Is it genuine Ziptrak? Three ways to check your quote
You shouldn't have to take our word for it. Two of these you check on paper, and the third you see on a sample at the measure:
✓ The product is spelt Z-I-P-T-R-A-K on the quote itself
✓ The installer is listed on Ziptrak Australia's website as a certified installer
✓ A spline runs down each side of the blind, inside a channel
Genuine systems sit at the top of the market. If one quote is well under the others, ask what's different, and run the same three checks on it.
Iain, on his quote: "At the outset the quote was thorough (and fair - all inclusive)." (Iain, February 2022)
Everything we fit carries our 2-year full warranty, parts and labour, with no call-out fee.

PVC or mesh for your Ziptrak blinds
What you want from the deck decides the fabric:
✓ Clear PVC is waterproof, so it keeps the view and keeps the rain off the table
✓ Tinted PVC takes the edge off the glare
✓ Mesh filters the sun, gives privacy from the neighbours and lets some air through, in 3% and 5% openness and many colours
Plenty of decks take both: Ziptrak PVC blinds on the weather side, Ziptrak mesh facing the neighbours.
Manual or motorised Ziptrak: which suits you?
Think about who'll pull the blind down, and how often. Manual is spring balanced: pull it down by hand, leave it at any height, and for most sides that's all you need.
Motorised is best suited to mesh, as PVC doesn't motorise well. On a mixed deck the mesh sides can take a motor while the PVC sides stay manual, and we'll show you which is which at the measure.
Pelmets and finishing the top
Two things decide the finish at the top: how you want it to look, and whether the roll sits in direct sun. A pelmet protects an exposed roll, and you've three ways to finish it:
✓ Flashing over the roll
✓ A full pelmet head box
✓ The streamline pelmet, the newer slim pelmet
Read about the new streamline pelmet.
Measured by an owner, installed by our own team
No two decks are the same, so we don't give prices from sizes. David or Roman measures every blind we quote, and the free measure covers:
✓ Posts, walls, slopes and gutters, and where the wind comes round the house
✓ Which fabric suits each side, with samples and swatches in your own light
✓ Which product each side needs
✓ Your other quotes, checked against ours line by line
Where a side doesn't need the top of the range, we'll say so and show you Zipscreen outdoor blinds or café style blinds instead.
Our Glenfield showroom is by appointment, so we bring it to you. For Ziptrak in Auckland our focus is the North Shore, West Auckland and the Hibiscus Coast, plus East Auckland and north to Mangawhai.
How long does Ziptrak take?
Most people have a date in mind, a birthday on the deck or a builder wrapping up. Lead time depends on the season:
✓ Main season, spring and summer: 4 to 5 weeks from deposit to install
✓ Off season: a little less
✓ Before Christmas: longer
Tell us your date at the measure and we'll confirm it with the quote. If summer is the date, call 09 441 9455 and book the measure early.
Caring for Ziptrak blinds, and our 2-year warranty
If something goes wrong in the first two years, we come and fix it: parts and labour, no call-out fee. Details are on our warranty page. Past the two years, we still look after everything we supply through repairs and servicing.
The care itself is simple:
✓ Roll up only when clean and dry
✓ Don't leave the blind rolled up for long in direct sun
✓ Clean with mild soap, warm water and a soft brush, never solvents
✓ Wrinkles drop out after a few days hanging
Our care guide for PVC outdoor screens has the detail.
What our customers say about their Ziptrak blinds
Most of our customers are repeat or referred. Tony had two blinds fitted, then came back for two more.
"We had two installers install 2 outdoor Ziptrack blinds and 4 indoor Roller blinds ... Now a few months later we have had these two gentlemen back to install 2 more Ziptrack Blinds. Again a fine quality job done. We are really pleased with the product and the installation." (Tony, March 2025)
Robert, on the install:
"We have just had Rollerflex install our side screens to our pagoda and it has transformed the area immensely. Roman who was the installer did a very professional job and it was great talking to him about the product and the history of the company." (Robert, June 2021)

Ziptrak questions
Is this genuine Ziptrak?
A fair thing to ask: the quote spells it Z-I-P-T-R-A-K, we're listed on Ziptrak Australia's website, and you'll see the spline in the channel on a sample at the measure.
What does a certified Ziptrak installer mean for me?
You get the genuine system, measured by an owner and fitted by our own team, and you can check our listing yourself.
How does the Ziptrak spline stay in the track in high wind?
A spline down each side of the fabric runs inside a channel and is very hard to pull out of the guide, though no outdoor blind is storm-proof.
PVC or mesh: which Ziptrak fabric should I choose?
Choose clear PVC to keep the view and the rain off, tinted PVC if glare is the problem, and mesh for privacy and some air movement.
Manual or motorised Ziptrak?
Manual suits most sides, and a motor suits mesh rather than PVC, so on a mixed deck the mesh sides can take the motor.
How long does Ziptrak take to make and install?
Four to five weeks from deposit to install in spring and summer, a little less off season, and longer before Christmas.
Can Ziptrak go on an existing pergola?
Yes, where possible. We adapt the blinds to suit an existing pergola, veranda or canopy.
Can you give me a price from my deck sizes?
Not one you could rely on, so an owner measures in person, free in the Auckland area, and leaves you a quote you can check against any other.
What warranty do you give?
Two years full, parts and labour, with no call-out fee.
