Rain cover that keeps the light
With around 976 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.

Nelson weather and what it means for your outdoor area
- Average annual rainfall: about 976 mm
- Average sunshine: about 2,497 hours a year
- Measured at: Nelson (NIWA 1991–2020 normals)
Plenty of sun to manage
Roughly 2,497 sunshine hours a year puts Nelson 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
Winter is Nelson's stormiest season, when gales and storms are more common. 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 Nelson
Nelson is in the Nelson 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.
