External shading experts, Caribbean Blinds, are celebrating the continued success of one of their most popular products with the completion of another residential Outdoor Living Pod™ installation.

As the exclusive brand name for the original louvered roof pergola canopy, the Caribbean Blinds Outdoor Living Pod™ provides the ultimate luxury, all-weather, outdoor living space that gives the customer complete control of the elements, 365 days a year.

Ingeniously designed for those who want to live life outdoors, the innovative rotating louvered roof permits the user to play with light and shade, offering an open-air alfresco feel when left fully open, and ensuring a completely water, wind and even snow-tight roof when closed. Optional windproof screens, ambient LED perimeter lighting and instant infra-red heaters mean a cosy and pleasant environment can be achieved all year round.

Built for durability and longevity, the low maintenance Outdoor Living Pod™ is constructed from super strong, corrosion resistant, powder coated aluminium and adapts to any outdoor lounging or dining space, especially complementing hot tubs, swim spas, outdoor kitchens and even gyms.

Stuart Dantzic, Managing Director of Caribbean Blinds explained: “In April this year, we installed the Outdoor Living Pod™ for a client who, after last year’s heatwave, required a solution to keep their south-facing terrace cool, along with the adjoining internal room of their newly built property.

We completely transformed the existing outdoor living space, leaving the customer with a terrace that can be used all year round, but most importantly remains cool, even on the hottest of days. The structure’s rotating louvers allow the user to play with light and shade, creating the perfect environment to sit back, relax and unwind.”

Caribbean Blinds’ entire product offering has been expertly devised with a range of variables in mind, allowing the firm to cater to every customer’s needs and fulfil any project brief, no matter how complex. The Outdoor Living Pod™ is no exception, with each bespoke structure manufactured to meet the individual requirements of the client.

Stuart added: “The Bures project differed to our typical installation, as the Outdoor Living Pod™ was to be built as an extension of the property rather than as a freestanding structure within the garden. However, in typical Caribbean Blinds style, the end result appeared integrated and part of the original landscape package, providing a seamless addition to the living space.”

Caribbean Blinds halted all production and closed its factory doors from mid-March to late April 2020 due to the restrictions put in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, once re-opened, the Bures project was swiftly undertaken with minimum disruption, with the installation taking just one day to complete. In addition to this, the expert team undertook a full photoshoot as part of the project agreement.

Recent research carried out by the family run firm shows that when designing their garden, people are keen for covered areas that provide flexible shade and shelter, enabling them to make the most of their outdoor living space. These results combined with the current temporary travel ban persuaded Caribbean Blinds to launch its Holiday at Home campaign, intended to help customers create their very own “slice of paradise” in their garden by providing a realistic and affordable alternative to travelling abroad (or in the UK) this summer.

Since its launch in 2011, the Caribbean Blinds Outdoor Living Pod™ has become one of the firm’s most popular products, particularly for consumers looking to create a relaxing space in their garden.
