Cool Summer Nights and Critter-Free Living in Coopers Beach

Beach holidays in Northland are what summer is all about—sunshine, sea breezes, BBQs on the deck, and sleeping with the windows open. But if you’ve ever spent a summer in Coopers Beach, you’ll know that mozzies and other unwanted critters can quickly ruin the vibe.
‍

That was exactly the case for one family at their Coopers Beach holiday home. Tired of battling bugs every evening, they called in the Shadeland team to help create a breezy, bug-free sanctuary.
‍

Challenges we solved:

• Bedroom windows had to be kept closed due to insects
• Ranch slider in the lounge couldn’t be left open without an invasion of bugs
• The family didn’t want clunky or intrusive screen solutions that impacted their holiday home’s look or ease of use
  ‍

Our solution? A premium retractable insect screen package designed around their exact needs.

In the bedroom, we installed one of our pleated retractable screens. It allows the window to stay open through the evening, letting in the cool Coopers Beach breeze while keeping flying insects out. The screen tucks away neatly when not in use, preserving the clean aesthetic of the room.
‍

In the lounge, we fitted a double retractable insect screen across the ranch slider. The design uses our HISS™ non-trip system, with a bottom track that's just 3mm high—safe for kids, grandparents, and barefoot beachgoers alike. When closed, it creates a full insect barrier; when open, it vanishes into the frame.
‍

The result? A free-flowing home that stays cool and comfortable, without a single buzz or bite. This install delivered exactly what this family needed—a way to enjoy their holiday home the way it was meant to be.
