A drier climate - think shade
At about 790 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.

Napier weather and what it means for your outdoor area
- Average annual rainfall: about 790 mm
- Average sunshine: about 2,334 hours a year
- Measured at: Napier (Wikipedia climate table citing NIWA; 1991–2020 normals)
Plenty of sun to manage
Roughly 2,334 sunshine hours a year puts Napier 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 Hawke's Bay is less windy than many other coastal areas of New Zealand, with frequent calm or light winds due to sheltering by the western ranges. 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 Napier
Napier is in the Napier 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.

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.”
