New Zealand’s favourite Outdoor Blind.
<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Tony de Maaijer is the original inventor of the track guided outdoor blind, Ziptrak\u00ae<\/sup>; a spring-balanced or motorised guided blind system providing UV, sun, wind, rain and insect protection. Tony created the product after noticing traditional zip and pulley blinds were difficult to operate, often malfunctioned and quickly deteriorated in the harsh outdoor environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We proudly supply a product that allows people to enjoy the natural environment that surrounds their home, creating a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor living, with a controlled environment in which to indulge with family and friends. The Ziptrak\u00ae<\/sup> brand is a registered trademark and the blind system is protected under multiple patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 30 years in the industry, Ziptrak\u00ae<\/sup> is a leading brand of choice among consumers, retailers and fabricators. Hundreds of retailers throughout New Zealand choose Ziptrak\u00ae<\/sup> to provide their household and commercial customers with a robust and easy-to-operate outdoor blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our headquarters is in South Australia, with distribution through a trusted network in multiple countries. Ziptrak Pty Ltd is a 100% Australian owned and operated company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
