Pilgrims Cronulla.

The Challenge

When Pilgrims opened their new location in Cronulla, they needed a shading system that could:

• Provide reliable protection against wind, rain, and UV light
• Comply with council regulations prohibiting permanent structures
• Complement the relaxed yet stylish aesthetic of the venue

The Outdoor Blinds and Awnings (OBA) Solution

To meet these needs, we designed, manufactured, and installed 8 custom Screentex Wire Guide outdoor blinds with closed headboxes. Each blind was tailored with:

• Soltis 88 fabric in Harmony for durability and design cohesion
• 0.75mm clear PVC inserts through the centre, ensuring uninterrupted, glass-like views of the ocean
• Powder-coated headboxes and base bars in Duralloy Evening Haze, blending seamlessly with the venue’s architecture

Why Screentex Wire Guide?

The choice of Screentex Wire Guide was key to this project’s success:

• Council Compliance: Permanent systems such as Screentex Zip Outdoor Blinds were not permitted.
• Safety in Wind: Unlike Screentex Classic Outdoor Blinds, the Wire Guide system anchors the base bar with stainless steel cables, preventing dangerous swinging in high winds.
• Premium Performance: Guests enjoy uninterrupted comfort and views, while the venue benefits from a system designed to perform season after season.

The Result

The finished installation has elevated Pilgrims Cronulla’s new dining space, giving patrons a comfortable, stylish environment to enjoy — rain or shine. By combining premium materials with thoughtful design, Outdoor Blinds and Awnings (OBA) delivered a solution that not only protects but also enhances the venue’s brand identity and guest experience.
