It might still be chilly and rainy outside, but if you look closely, the signs are there. The days are getting a little longer, the snowdrops are pushing through, and thoughts are naturally turning to the brighter days ahead.
At Abacus Blinds, we know that when the first warm weekend of spring hits, everyone wants to be outside enjoying it immediately. That’s why February is the critical month for planning.
Creating the perfect outdoor sanctuary doesn’t happen overnight. By starting your journey now, you beat the spring rush and ensure your patio is ready the moment the sun decides to make its grand entrance.
Why Think About Alfresco Living Now?
We often associate garden upgrades with May or June, but the smartest homeowners start in late winter. Here is why:
- Beat the Lead Times: High-quality, bespoke shading solutions like Weinor systems are made to measure. Ordering in February guarantees your installation is complete before the peak season begins.
- Ready for the First BBQ: We’ve all had that panic of trying to organise the garden for an early Easter bank holiday. By planning now, you’ll be the host with the most, relaxing under your new awning while others are still searching for quotes.
- Extended Living Space: Modern alfresco living isn’t just about a sunshade; it’s about creating an “outdoor room” that functions as an extension of your home.

Weinor Awnings: Flexible Shade for Every Home
Weinor’s range of patio awnings offers exceptional sun protection and a touch of elegance. From compact cassette awnings to expansive fabric solutions, there’s a Weinor awning for every facade and preference.
- The LongLife Arm: A standout feature of Weinor awnings. The arm is designed to be whisper-quiet and incredibly robust, keeping the fabric taut even in breezy conditions.
- Integrated Heating & Lighting: Don’t let the party stop when the sun goes down. Many Weinor models come with optional LED lighting and heating systems, keeping your patio cosy well into the evening.
- Fabrics that Last: With innovative spinneret dyeing technology, Weinor fabrics stay vibrant and resist fading for years.
The Weinor Plaza Viva: The Versatile Fabric Pergola Awning
For those seeking robust sun and weather protection that stands up to more challenging conditions, the Weinor Plaza Viva is an exceptional choice. This elegant fabric pergola awning combines the flexibility of an awning with the stability of a pergola.
- High Wind Stability: Thanks to its sturdy post construction, the Plaza Viva offers superior wind resistance compared to traditional awnings, making it perfect for exposed locations.
- Optional Telescopic Posts: For even greater flexibility, telescopic posts allow the fabric to be lowered at an angle, providing better protection against low-lying sun and improved water run-off.
- Seamless Integration: Designed to blend beautifully with modern architecture, it creates a stylish outdoor room that can be enjoyed almost year-round.
The Weinor Artares: The Ultimate Louvered Roof Pergola
If you are looking for the pinnacle of alfresco luxury and complete climate control, let us introduce you to the Weinor Artares. This bioclimatic louvered roof system puts you in complete control of the elements.
- Control the Elements: The motorised louvers can be adjusted to let the sunshine in or tilted shut to provide water-resistant protection during a shower.
- Natural Air Conditioning: By slightly tilting the louvers, you allow warm air to escape upwards, creating a cooling circulation effect underneath.
- Smart Sensors: Equipped with weather sensors, the Artares can automatically close its louvers if it detects rain, protecting your furniture even if you aren’t home.
