ADV E RTORI AL Australian Outdoor Living brings home the great outdoors Love the outdoor lifestyle? So do our friends at Australian Outdoor Living. From a small startup to becoming a recognised national brand in the outdoor home improvement niche, AOL was built upon a single premise: “Creating a quality outdoor entertaining space in every home”. Back in 2005, Colin Kuchel, founder of AOL, saw a need in the market for café blinds in residential homes, and turned it into a national business that now features a full range of outdoor home improvement products. From outdoor blinds and artificial lawns, to decking, swimming pools, pergolas, patios and verandahs, AOL now installs a myriad of quality outdoor products that are designed to carve out the perfect outdoor entertaining space – right in your own home. “Socialising and eating out is becoming a very costly affair for the average Australian. Why not save the money, invite friends over and spend some quality time in the comfort of your own backyard or patio? It’s just a cheaper alternative in the long run,” Colin says. A simple vision. But one that has driven Colin to create a product portfolio that is designed to transform every backyard into a personal outdoor oasis. He believes that entertaining at home can be just as fulfilling as patronising cafes and restaurants. Sharing his passion for the outdoors, the staff at Australian Outdoor Living are now continuing the legacy by not just promoting the company’s products, but also advocating outdoor and healthy living. “Our company is all about enjoying the outdoors and healthy living. We’ve just completed a 12-week 10,000 steps challenge in which our HQ staff committed to walking 10,000 steps a day for about three months. Preferably outdoor.” “We also encouraged employees to exercise during the day by walking in groups around the neighbourhood during their lunch break, rather than spending all day at their desk,” he said.
