Outdoor Entertaining in Winter

In Australia, we have mild and pleasant weather for much of the year and we love to spend time outdoors relaxing, entertaining and socialising.

When the weather turns cold in winter, you may think your outdoor entertaining plans will have to be put on hold for a few months, but with some help from Somfy, you can enjoy your outdoor area all year round.

Your Outdoor Extension

Many people put a lot of time and energy into creating the perfect outdoor entertaining area for summer, and then find that it’s too cold to use it in winter. Your outdoor area becomes an extension of your home in the warmer months, so why not carry that idea on through winter with the addition of external screens and a pergola?

Motorised External Screens

Motorised screens protect you and your guests from the weather and offer extra privacy from prying eyes. Your screens can be incorporated into your Somfy home automation system so you can turn your outdoor area into a cosy extension of your home, complete with mood lighting.

In the touch of a button, your screens lower, transforming your outdoor space into an additional room of your home.

Motorised Pergola

By installing a motorised pergola or opening roof system in your outdoor space, you can relax and enjoy a truly connected outdoor space. Once your party or dinner is underway, you can quickly adjust the slats of your pergola to the desired position with the touch of a button, or voice control, with minimum disruption.

Better still, pergolas and external screens complement each other perfectly, creating an enclosed, private oasis.

Smart Lighting

Your outdoor entertaining area can be customised to your lifestyle with automated lighting to keep you entertaining guests long after the sun goes down. With RTS-enabled lighting, or Philips HUE lights, you can control your lights to suit the occasion right from your smartphone!
