TS79 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Really well made, but again not cheap. Many different styles - Phuket Awnings on bypass road, same side as Keehin but maybe 1km further on - www.phuketawnings.com Had mine for a couple of years and not a mark on it.

Valentine Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Lek Star installed some really nice awnings for the sala nearby one of our pools. 1st house on the right going into the larger homes behind Home Pro. It has a manual mechanism for rolling them up but is s/s & feels like good quality when you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakaty Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 They are coming out to give us a quote today, i am sure they are the type that i have on restaurants and are what i want Did you get a reasonable quote? I too have been looking for roll up exterior blinds for shade (not plastic). I found a shop on one of the roads between Chow Fa East and Chow Fa West called http://www.shadesasia.com that had exactly what I was looking for. But the salesman said "about B60,000" for what was on display and it was about 1.5 - 2 meters wide. Excellent quality though. I want 25 feet covered and its a rental house so I'm not going to pay that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishcarlos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hello, I am also looking for these rain blinds.. We are in Surat though.. Just had a rough quote from a local company at 2000-2500 per blind, again about 7.5 SQM.. I haven't seen the material yet but it does seem cheap compared to what you were quoted Peter ?? Just going to check a bigger store out now, so we can compare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are happy with the quality of our blind and the installation, if you can get a good quality blind for that price go for it, Phuket can be expensive for some things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just got back from the place now... 2400 for the rope operated blinds or 4100 for the handle with winding mech.. Looks like a good outfit with proper heat presses for doing the joining etc. Think we will go with clear and a white border !! Will update on the quality in due course... Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 5km from Big C on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
