Installed on a newly built home in Opononi, this custom aluminium pergola provides a large covered outdoor entertaining area while preserving natural light and maintaining a clean, contemporary appearance.
The structure features a premium Duratec powder-coated aluminium frame finished in Dulux Flaxpod, offering enhanced durability for New Zealand’s coastal environment. The roof is glazed with Sunglaze® CoolTech polycarbonate panels, delivering a modern screw-free finish while reducing solar heat gain compared with standard clear glazing.
A custom 125 mm Colorsteel box gutter has been integrated into the front beam for effective water management and a streamlined architectural look.
