What features do you want in a blinds for buildings in your garden?

When you’re buying window shades for a garden room, shed or summerhouse, you’ll have to consider a few things you wouldn’t usually need to worry about when buying shades for your home.

The first consideration you should make is the fact your garden outbuilding or shed won’t be heated all day long in the Wintertime, which means any windows and shades will likely pick up a fair amount of condensation – Because of this, you’ll want to ensure you use a blind that is made with a water-resistant fabric, so that condensation doesn’t cause any deterioration of the fabric.

Another consideration to make is dirt, garden spaces can get dirty and muddy quite easily, especially if you’re using your garden building as a potting shed or greenhouse space, where soil will be abundant – So, to protect your new shades from dirt and soil, you’ll want a blind made with a wipe-clean fabric, which will allow you to clean off the blind with just a damp cloth whenever it gets soiled (pun intended).

Finally, you should consider how much privacy you want in your garden space, if you’re using your shed as a home office space or a tool shed, you’ll likely want thick, opaque shades to hide your computer or tools from would-be thieves – Whereas if you’re using the space as a potting shed or living space, you’ll want thinner more translucent shades to keep the space nice and bright during the day.
