Movable boards are a solution that combines durability, simplicity of installation and freedom of use. In our shop you will find ready-made kits with OpenUp system brackets, which will enable you to build a louvre wall in wood or aluminium with the function of manually rotating the boards or slats.

What are OpenUp system movable decking boards?
Movable boards, patio blinds, external blinds, shutters is an extremely functional and aesthetically pleasing built-in solution:
-
free-standing structures (sheds, gazebos, pergolas),
-
mounted to the building's façade (terrace and balcony development).
- sliding walls and foldable for building terraces
These types of decking boards are increasingly being chosen by people who want to create a practical and aesthetically pleasing shelter from the sun, rain, wind and provide a sense of intimacy.
Movable boards can be used in both private and commercial settings - they work well in restaurant gardens, relaxation areas at hotels or garden gazebos.
Use of movable boards
Movable boards are used wherever adjustable protection from the sun or wind is needed. They can be used in wall pergolas, on balconies in blocks of flats, in garden sheds, carports and garden pavilions. The movable board blind system allows you to adjust the amount of light and ventilation according to the current weather conditions, maintaining your privacy.
How does the mechanism for moving boards work?
The basis of the set is the OpenUp System handles. The set (two handles - left and right, length 58.2 cm) of handles is made of refined polycarbonate. A single holder has six movable sockets into which wooden boards or aluminium laths are inserted. One set allows you to create a 59 cm high wall (the handle alone is 58.2 cm). If you want a full sided wall, simply mount further modules one above the other.
You can install the decking boards yourself in any configuration - vertical or horizontal - and match them to the design of the pergola, gazebo or shed.
The mechanism for the moving boards operates manually, without the need for power. Adjusting the angle of the slats gives you full control over light and privacy on the terrace.
Adjustable blinds - wood or aluminium walls
Thanks to the movable board mechanism, you are free to adjust:
- light supply,
- air circulation,
- the level of visibility of what is on the terrace or balcony.
The whole thing works without power - the boards and laths move manually. No cables, springs or electrics are needed. This solution will be particularly appreciated by those who want to create a well-thought-out wall in a pergola, gazebo or canopy structure without unnecessary complications. Terrace boards in the blind system are not only functional, but also allow natural ventilation and protection from the sun on the terrace or balcony.
The movable board system works well with both modern aluminium pergolas and traditional wooden structures. It is the solution of choice for do-it-yourselfers, garden architects and installation companies throughout Poland.
Materials and variants of movable boards
Depending on your preferences, you can choose movable wooden planks or movable aluminium planks.
-
Wood introduces a natural look and suits classic terraces and gardens.
-
Aluminium provides durability and corrosion resistance, which works well in modern and minimalist designs.
In both variants, the boards work with the OpenUp system mechanism, which allows them to rotate smoothly.
Assembly of movable boards
Assembly of the OpenUp system components is quick and easy. All you need to do is prepare the frame of the structure and mount the brackets at intervals corresponding to the width of the boards. The whole structure can be assembled by yourself using basic tools.
No wiring or drive is required. The mechanism for moving boards works on the principle of a pivot axis and sockets that lock the position of each fin.
The enclosure can be expanded with additional modules at any time.
Discover the products from the OpenUp family of handles system for moving boards
The OpenUp handle family consists of handles made of polypropylene refined with additives in five colours: black (RAL 9005), anthracite (RAL 7016), white (RAL 9003), dark brown (RAL 8016), light brown (RAL 8024). The OpenUp moving board mechanism is resistant to temperature, UV radiation, humidity. It has a warranty of 24 months.
The OpenUp system works well with both timber and aluminium structures. You can use it to enclose a wall pergola, freestanding pergola, balcony or shed. Customers are particularly keen to use this solution in areas that require shelter from the wind or neighbours. This makes the OpenUp system decking boards a versatile solution that you can easily adapt to your construction.
Why choose moving board kits from the OpenUp system brand to make patio blinds?
When you buy the sets, you immediately receive a fitting filling in the form of 9.8 × 2 cm boards or 9.9 × 1.95 cm aluminium fins. The matching pieces allow the boards or lamellas to fold into a smooth wall. You can, of course, use boards without grooving, but then you get a "toothed" wall.
The kits are available in several material options - you can choose wood or aluminium, painted, unpainted or woodgrain. All products are factory-fitted to the system - we do not sell boards or slats alone. Only complete solutions ensure the correct functioning of the mobile system.
Added advantage: The OpenUp system's moving board mechanism requires no maintenance or periodic adjustment. The handles are resistant to temperature changes and UV rays, so the system retains its smooth movement for years.

Frequently asked questions about moving boards
What are moving boards?
Movable planks is the common name for a movable wood or aluminium patio blind system.
How do the moving boards work?
The movable planks work thanks to a special mechanism that creates a set of 58.3 cm long handles (left and right) made of glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene. Each handle has six movable sockets into which the boards or aluminium laths are inserted.
How to make moving boards?
Follow this link for video instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZUIqYUPDNY&t=21s. In short: You attach the handles to the structure with a screwdriver. Remember to ALWAYS shorten the bottom bracket by 5 cm. After you have screwed in all the brackets and connected them with clips, you insert the filling: boards or laths.
Can I buy a moving board mechanism along with the boards or slats?
Yes, in the Opened.co.uk shop you can buy both the handles themselves for the movable boards and the ready-made sets with wood (unpainted, painted) or aluminium (unpainted, painted, wood-like) infill, as well as the ready-made profiles to which you will attach the handles.
Will movable planks work well on a balcony?
Yes, this is one of the most common uses. They allow you to shield your balcony from the wind and provide privacy without losing light.
What is the difference between moving aluminium planks and wooden planks?
Aluminium ones are weatherproof and maintenance-free, while wooden ones provide a natural look to the structure and can be painted or treated.
Can the movable planks be fitted by yourself?
Yes. The kits are designed for simple assembly - simply prepare the frame of the structure and fit the brackets in the designated areas.
How do the OpenUp system's moving boards work?
Each board rotates in the handles, allowing the amount of light and airflow to be adjusted. The mechanism requires no power and operates manually.
