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.
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.
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.
Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty get some of the highest sunshine hours in the country. Many homes are near the coast, at the Mount, Pāpāmoa or around the harbour. Here the main job is shade and UV protection, with a roof that copes with salt air.
Our roofing blocks 99% of UV, so the deck stays usable in the middle of a summer day. An opening louvre roof lets you choose between full shade and winter sun.
Powder-coated aluminium frames suit homes near the beach and the harbour. Ask us about finish options for your site during the onsite measure.
Long Bay of Plenty summers suit an outdoor room more than a simple shade sail. A canopy with blinds or a sunroom extends the living area well into autumn.
The Pāpāmoa branch also covers Hamilton, Rotorua and Taupō, where hotter summers and colder winters suit a roof you can open and close.
A local team member visits, measures the space, checks access and fixing points, and talks through roof options and add-ons.
You receive a written quote that defines the structure, materials, finishes and any assumptions, so you can compare it fairly.
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.
