Mid North Coast Ziptrak Blinds

Ziptrak blinds offer a sleek way to enjoy your outdoor areas without battling the elements. Designed for large spans and to turn outdoor spaces into more comfortable, all-year-round living areas, these track-guided blinds slide smoothly into place, locking out wind, rain and harsh sun while still letting you enjoy the view.


At Manning Blinds & Awnings, we’ve been installing outdoor systems across Taree, Forster, Tuncurry, Old Bar, Hallidays Point and throughout the Manning Valley for nearly 50 years. We work with homeowners and builders to find the right setup, offering a custom fit for every window, balcony or patio.

Ziptrak Blinds That Seal Out Weather

One of the best parts of Ziptrak blinds is how easily they disappear when you don’t need them and reappear when you do. With just a light touch, they glide open or closed, locking neatly into place at any height.


They’re perfect for enclosing alfresco areas, cafés, verandas or pool zones. Want privacy? Pull them down. Want airflow? Slide them up. Plus, they’re made with UV-stabilised mesh or clear PVC, so you stay protected without feeling boxed in.


Builders love them for the stylish, adaptable finish. Property managers love them for their low maintenance. Homeowners love them because they make outdoor spaces feel like part of the home. No matter the situation, Ziptrak gives you flexible and functional control.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Ziptrak blinds and how do they work?

    Ziptrak blinds are outdoor track-guided blinds designed to provide shade, privacy and protection from wind, rain and sun. 


    Unlike traditional outdoor blinds, they glide smoothly within vertical side tracks and lock into position at any height—no zips, ropes or pulleys involved. This makes them incredibly easy to operate and ideal for alfresco areas, patios, balconies or verandas.


    The blinds can be made with clear PVC for unobstructed views or mesh fabric for airflow and UV protection.


  • Are Ziptrak blinds weatherproof?

    Yes—Ziptrak blinds are designed to handle tough Australian weather conditions. They create a sealed barrier on your outdoor area, minimising wind, rain and debris entry. When fitted with mesh fabric, they still allow for airflow while blocking UV rays and cutting down heat and glare.


    Clear PVC versions block wind and rain while maintaining visibility. While they offer excellent protection, it’s always best to roll them up during extreme storms to extend their lifespan.

  • Can Ziptrak blinds be motorised?

    Absolutely. Ziptrak blinds can be upgraded with a motorised system for smooth, hands-free operation. This is especially useful for larger spans or hard-to-reach areas.


    Motorisation can be controlled via remote or connected to a smart home system, depending on the setup. It adds convenience, especially for those with limited mobility, or simply for anyone who prefers the ease of automation over manual handling.

  • What’s the difference between Ziptrak and standard outdoor blinds?

    The key difference is in the side track system. Ziptrak blinds are tensioned and guided by slim vertical tracks, which means they stay firmly in place and don’t flap around in the wind.


    Traditional outdoor blinds often use ropes, pulleys or zippers and don’t seal the sides. Ziptrak’s clean design, smooth operation and superior wind resistance make them a popular choice for modern outdoor living spaces.
