Blinds and shading for Walkerville's smallholdings
Walkerville sits around 30km south of Johannesburg on the R82, a rural, rolling-hills belt of smallholdings and equestrian properties — the same open-ground, big-sky brief as Eye of Africa, on a bigger stand.
What homes here are like
Walkerville is agricultural and equestrian country — smallholding developments like Drumblade at the foot of Perdeberg sit alongside older farmhouses and newer country homes, most on stands measured in hectares rather than square metres. Fewer close neighbours and more open paddock means more wind, more direct sun, and usually a lot more glass than a standard suburban home.
What suits a Walkerville spec
- Wind-sensored awnings over stoeps and entertainment areas — open paddock offers nothing to slow a gust down.
- Sunscreen roller blinds for the long runs of glass that look out over the paddocks — 3–5% openness keeps the view without the glare.
- Zip screens for stables, tack rooms and covered entertainment spaces — sealed against wind and insects without losing the outlook.
- Motorisation for the main house, where a hectare-plus property often means more windows per visit — worth it for the convenience alone.
We measure and fit across Walkerville from our Eye of Africa base, just up the R82 — the same consultant, the same written-quote process, the same free measure.

The Eye of Africa Sightline Handbook
Walkerville sits on the same open ground as the estate, so the sun path in the Handbook applies street for street — and with even less windbreak, the wind reasoning in it matters more here, not less.
- Solstice sun bearings and midday angles for this latitude, with sources
- North, south, east and west — which room suffers, and when
- What we'd fit on each face, and the honest catch with each
- Five things only a tape measure at the window can settle
