Tauranga weather and what it means for your outdoor area
- Average annual rainfall: about 1,202 mm
- Average sunshine: about 2,402 hours a year
- Measured at: Tauranga (Wikipedia climate table citing NIWA; 1991–2020 normals)
Plenty of sun to manage
Roughly 2,402 sunshine hours a year puts Tauranga 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 the Bay of Plenty lowlands get considerably less wind than many other parts of New Zealand, sheltered by high country to the west, south and east. 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 Tauranga
Tauranga is in the Tauranga 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.
