Rain cover that keeps the light
With around 1,119 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.

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
Auckland's prevailing winds are predominantly from the southwest, and frost and snow are rare. 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.
Metal Pergola for Auckland conditions
Auckland’s weather is mild but wet. Showers can roll through at any time of year, the air stays humid, and summer sun is strong enough that an uncovered deck is hard to use in the middle of the day. Most Auckland homeowners want a roof that lets them use the outdoor area through a wet winter and stay comfortable in summer.
Rain that comes and goes
A fixed-roof canopy keeps the deck dry year round. A motorised opening louvre roof lets you close the blades when a shower arrives and open them again for light and airflow once it passes.
Humidity and airflow
In muggy weather, airflow under the roof matters as much as shade. Louvre blades can be angled to let warm air escape, and side blinds can be raised or lowered as conditions change.
Coastal suburbs
Many Auckland homes sit close to the harbour or the coast. Powder-coated aluminium frames suit these sites better than unprotected steel or untreated timber.
Townhouse and infill sites
Smaller sections and townhouse courtyards often need a structure fitted to a tight space or a boundary. We measure on site so the design suits your space.
How a metal pergola project works in Auckland
Free onsite measure and quote
A local team member visits, measures the space, checks access and fixing points, and talks through roof options and add-ons.
Design and written quote
You receive a written quote that defines the structure, materials, finishes and any assumptions, so you can compare it fairly.
Consent check
Roofed and enclosed structures can have different consent requirements from an open pergola. We help you work out what applies to your project before work is booked.
Build and installation
The local team installs the structure. Every installation comes with a 5-year roof warranty and a 10-year structural warranty.
