New Plymouth weather and what it means for your outdoor area

  • Average annual rainfall: about 1,410 mm
  • Average sunshine: about 2,318 hours a year
  • Measured at: New Plymouth (Wikipedia climate table citing NIWA; 1991–2020 normals)

Plan for rain first

Around 1,410 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.

Plenty of sun to manage

Roughly 2,318 sunshine hours a year puts New Plymouth 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 southeasterly winds predominate at New Plymouth, partly because Mt Taranaki deflects southerly winds. 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 New Plymouth

New Plymouth is in the New Plymouth 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.
