What a outdoor blinds costs in Melbourne
In Melbourne the point of outdoor blinds is to close an alfresco in against wind and driving rain so it can be used outside the warm months, so clear PVC café blinds that weatherproof the space are the common job rather than a simple sun shade, and that enclosed spec costs more than open mesh. The changeable weather makes the investment genuinely worthwhile in a way it isn't further north.
Melbourne has a deep, competitive pool of blind and awning installers, so once the scope is set a standard job is keenly priced against the other capitals. The city's period homes can push the framing and colour choices toward something that suits a Victorian or Edwardian house, and bayside suburbs add a little salt exposure that favours better hardware, but the weather, not the coast, is the main driver here.
