A drier climate - think shade
At about 724 mm of rain a year, shade and UV often matter more than rain cover. Opening louvres or tinted polycarbonate panels (99.9% UV protection) keep an outdoor area usable on hot days.

Dunedin weather and what it means for your outdoor area

- Average sunshine: about 1,776 hours a year
- Measured at: Dunedin (Musselburgh) (NIWA 1991–2020 normals)
Coastal conditions
Near the coast, salt air is hard on uncoated metal. Our aluminium frames are 6063-T6 alloy with an anodised powder coat, and our outdoor blinds use mildew-proof fabric.
Local exposure
Dunedin's prevailing wind is a sometimes cool southwesterly, with warm, dry northwest föhn winds also characteristic; snow is uncommon except in inland hill suburbs. Our opening louvre roofs are rated for winds up to 200 km/h and Elite Canopies up to 160 km/h; fixed panels or blinds on the exposed side add shelter at ground level.
Building consent in Dunedin
Dunedin is in the Dunedin City Council area. Open, unroofed pergolas are exempt from building consent, but a roofed cover such as a canopy or louvre roof has to fit the awning or carport size limits to avoid one. We help you work out what applies before work is booked.
