Greymouth weather and what it means for your outdoor area

  • Average annual rainfall: about 2,443 mm
  • Average sunshine: about 1,846 hours a year
  • Measured at: Greymouth (NIWA 1991–2020 normals)

Plan for rain first

Around 2,443 mm of rain a year makes drainage the priority. Our Elite Canopies use a 7-degree pitch and louvre roofs a 3-degree fall, both draining through concealed channels in the posts - and a solid metal pergola roof sheds water completely.

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

A cold katabatic wind known locally as 'the Barber' blows down the Grey Valley into Greymouth, and tornadoes in March 2001 and June 2003 destroyed several buildings in the town. 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 Greymouth

Greymouth is in the Grey 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.
