Rain cover that keeps the light
With around 1,001 mm of rain a year, most people want dependable rain cover without a dark space - polycarbonate roofs let through 25-88% of the light depending on tint.

Gisborne weather and what it means for your outdoor area
- Average annual rainfall: about 1,001 mm
- Average sunshine: about 2,296 hours a year
- Measured at: Gisborne (Wikipedia climate table citing NIWA; 1991–2020 normals)
Plenty of sun to manage
Roughly 2,296 sunshine hours a year puts Gisborne among New Zealand's sunnier places. Opening louvres let you angle the blades through the day; outdoor blinds with 2-20% shade fabrics cut low western sun.
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
NIWA notes that apart from the very exposed East Cape area, wind over Gisborne district is lighter than in many coastal areas of New Zealand. 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 Gisborne
Gisborne is in the Gisborne District 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.

Customer Perspective
Read our Google reviews“We had Impact Outdoors install an Elite Canopy and the Automatic Lourve at our property in Raumati beach, and we couldn't be happier! Both installs have made our outdoor spaces more functional and useable. We were really impressed with Deep from the outset. He took the time to discuss options with us, and what we were trying to achieve. Even some bespoke items were no trouble. We never felt pressured at all to make a quick decision. The price was great too, and the installation team were fantastic. They were really professional and efficient, and even replaced a leg when they noticed an imperfection (that I couldn't see). Great team, great price, great outcome. We highly recommend Impact Outdoors.”
