Shade, privacy and airflow
Guided mesh suits many pergolas and covered terraces where filtered light and outward view are important. Mesh openness changes shade, visibility and wind response.

Outdoor ZIP blinds and motorised track-guided screens.
VELARIS supplies guided ZIP outdoor blinds for pergolas, patios, outdoor dining and larger commercial openings. Select the fabric, guides and operating system by the actual width, drop, exposure, shade, privacy, view and ventilation requirements. Standard openings and extra-wide V8 commercial screens need different product reviews.

VELARIS · Product selection
Which type of outdoor blind is right for the opening?
A motorised ZIP screen is not the same product as a clear-PVC weather barrier or a very wide commercial blind. Start with the result needed, then select the compatible model.Extra-wide commercial openings
V8 is the large-format starting point. Review opening width, drop, roller geometry, guide fixings, wind exposure, fabric area and whether dividing the opening would improve operation.
Review large-opening selectionMotorised and weather-aware operation
Remote controls, smart-home integration and compatible weather sensors depend on the selected system. They do not turn outdoor fabric screens into structural storm protection.

Direct project answers
What buyers and project teams need to know about Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems.
What is Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems?
Track-guided outdoor blind systems with manual, motorised and selected hybrid controls; fabric, opening size and exposure must be confirmed per project.
What projects are suitable for track-guided outdoor blinds?
Typical project pathways include residential projects, commercial projects, hospitality projects, and international projects. Final suitability depends on the exact configuration, site conditions, operating requirements and destination.
What information is needed to specify track-guided outdoor blinds?
Before specification or quotation, the project review should confirm: Verified product specifications or documented product facts; Clear applications, limitations and configuration boundaries; Project inputs required for manual quotation or technical review; Apollo supply-only scope and purchaser/local-project responsibilities. Claims are kept tied to the exact proposed system rather than transferred from a related product or reference configuration.
Can Apollo NZ Global supply track-guided outdoor blinds internationally?
Apollo can supply suitable projects internationally where the product and destination pathway are current. Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or quantities, timing, relevant drawings or photographs, and any known performance, compliance or environmental requirements for review.

Specifier evidence checklist
Confirm the exact Velaris Outdoor Blind Systems project evidence before release.
Use this checklist to turn an early product choice into a project-ready brief. Only exact registered evidence should be relied on for specification, tender or order.
Application & use
Confirm: Confirm the intended application, users, operating intensity and project outcome.
Boundary: A product-category match is not a final suitability confirmation.
Site & environment
Confirm: Review outdoor plus wind, rain, heat, UV, salt, drainage and other destination conditions that apply.
Boundary: Environmental performance claims must match the exact selected system and current evidence.
Configuration & dimensions
Confirm: Confirm configuration: project-reviewed, together with dimensions, quantities, interfaces and required options.
Boundary: Do not infer available sizes, spans, loads or options from representative imagery.
Materials, finishes & maintenance
Confirm: Review fabric against finish, corrosion, cleaning, maintenance and replacement requirements.
Boundary: Material suitability can change with exposure, assemblies and maintenance conditions.
Technical evidence
Confirm: Use the current registered product documents and confirm that every cited value applies to the selected configuration.
Boundary: CAD, shop drawings, structural calculations, certificates and testing are included only where they exist for the exact system and are expressly identified.
Project interface & delivery
Confirm: Confirm destination, receiving point, unloading, local contractor, foundations / supports, services, installation responsibility and target programme.
Boundary: Freight, local works, engineering, commissioning and installation scope must be confirmed in the written quotation.
Apollo is supply-only unless the written project scope states otherwise. Local engineering, statutory approvals, site works and installation remain project-specific.
Large-format enclosure
A cleaner way to close a large outdoor opening without turning it into a solid wall.
The guided fabric sits within a framed opening while preserving a visual connection through the screen. Final cassette, track, fabric, openness, motor and fixing selection still depends on the actual span, drop, exposure and desired level of privacy or airflow.
Velaris project gallery
Residential, pergola and commercial enclosure examples.
Select the right guided screens for louvre-roof structures, patios and hospitality openings. Final cassette, side guides, fabric, colour, fixing, controls and structural suitability are confirmed for the actual opening.
Applications + project fit
The system is selected around the opening, exposure and desired enclosure.
Choose by outcome
Start with shade, glare, privacy, wind reduction, rain reduction, view and airflow. A 5% dark mesh is a useful covered-patio starting point, not a universal answer.
Fabric openness
Lower openness increases privacy and shade but catches more wind; higher openness improves view and airflow. Clear PVC and blockout are separate pathways where mesh is not the right material.
V7.3 or V8
V7.3 suits many residential and light-commercial openings. V8 is the starting point for exceptionally wide, tall or heavier-duty commercial openings and may be better divided into independent zones.
Operation + resilience
Motorisation suits larger or frequently used blinds. Selected manual and hybrid motor/hand-crank configurations add operating flexibility, with Tuya and weather-sensor options where appropriate.
Coastal + exposed-site use
Salt, humidity and severe-weather procedures affect fabric, finish, cleaning frequency, staff operation and fixing decisions. Coastal installations need more frequent fresh-water rinsing.
Safe ownership
Keep tracks clear, clean gently, inspect after strong weather and retract before forecast high winds or debris risk unless written project-specific instructions explicitly state otherwise.
