From scorching nor’westers to sideways southerlies, Wellington weather never plays nice. Our custom pergolas turn that wild climate into a feature giving you an outdoor room that’s cool in summer, dry in winter and sheltered all year round.
| Advantage | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Engineered for 47 m/s wind zones | Stainless fixings, bolted posts and ledger flashings keep your pergola rock-solid during a Wellington gale. |
| Material flexibility | Select sustainably grown pine, FSC hardwood or powder-coated aluminium framing, plus polycarbonate, Colorsteel® or louvre roofing. |
| Seamless house integration | We match roof pitch, cladding and colour to create a fluid indoor-outdoor flow and add value at resale. |
| Licensed Building Practitioners | LBPs handle drawings, consent and inspections, then build to NZS 3604 and E2/AS1 requirements. |
| 10-year workmanship guarantee | A written promise that your pergola will still be standing and looking good next decade. |
Bonus: One contractor, multiple upgrades. Combine your pergola with Decking, Fencing or Pool Fencing to finish the whole backyard in one go.
Motorised aluminium blades tilt from fully open to watertight in seconds, giving you instant shade, ventilation or rain protection. Add rain sensors, LED strip lighting and heaters for year-round use.
Wide or narrow batten spacing lets in dappled light while blocking midday glare. Perfect for climbing plants (star jasmine, wisteria) or festoon lights that soften the evening glow.
Flat or corrugated panels deliver up to 90 % light transmission while stopping UV, so you can enjoy a bright alfresco dining space even in winter drizzle. Optional bronze or grey tint reduces heat gain.
High-tension acrylic or PVC fabric glides along powder-coated aluminium rails. Close it for lunch-time shade; retract it at night for stargazing.
And not one of them’s leaning.
We might be a new company, but we’re not new to the tools.
We plant a native tree for every project we complete.
From Porirua to Wairarapa we’ve got the lower North Island covered.
| Frequency | Tasks |
|---|---|
| Quarterly | Hose salt spray off framing; clear leaves from gutters or louvre gutters. |
| Bi-annual | Check post stirrups for corrosion; lubricate louvre motors; tighten bracket bolts after heavy gales. |
| Annual | Wash polycarbonate or Colorsteel® roofing with soft brush and mild detergent to prevent moss growth. |
| Every 2–3 yrs | Re-oil or stain timber pergolas; inspect fabric canopies for UV degradation and tension readjustment. |
Structures under 3 m high and 20 m² often qualify for an exemption, but wind zone, boundary proximity and water-tight roofing can change the rules. We confirm compliance during your free consult.
Yes. Real-estate reports show that well-designed outdoor living can add up to 10 % to resale value, especially in lifestyle-driven markets like Wellington.
We coordinate licensed electricians and drainlayers for down-lights, power points, louvre gutters or outdoor kitchens streamlining the whole project under one contract.
Budget $450–$650 + GST per square metre for timber batten pergolas, $700-$1,000 + GST for aluminium louvre systems. You’ll receive a fixed quotation after design approval.
Our high-tension systems are tested to 70 km/h. For very exposed sites we recommend louvre roofs or fixed panels instead.
Yes, provided the fascia is reinforced to carry roof load. We’ll inspect your eaves and specify ledger brackets or gutter-back flashings that prevent leaks.
Most pergolas are on site 4-6 weeks after you sign off the design. Timber batten frames arrive fastest, while custom-coloured louvre roofs can take an extra fortnight for factory powder-coating. We’ll lock in a firm install week once materials are booked.
