It doesn’t matter if you have a large or small outdoor area, as we have the biggest range of awning options and we custom make them in our factory in Penrose, we can make the best awning to fit your location. 

Whether you have French doors, a low soffit or interesting angles on your home we can design and install an awning that will meet your needs. 

Is the place where you want to mount your awning going to give you enough headroom to move underneath? For retractable awnings, we can manufacture special brackets to ensure your awning is mounted in the perfect spot.

To achieve the manufacturers recommended 15 degree fall, there are minimum mounting heights for each arm length, to give 2m clearance at the front of the awning.

MINIMUM recommended mounting heights for retractable awnings are:

Arm Extension – Total Height
1.5m – 2350mm
2.0m – 2450mm
2.5m – 2600mm
3.0m – 2900mm
3.5m – 3250mm
4.0m – 3600mm

We have the largest range of awnings in New Zealand, and most options are on show at our Auckland showroom in Penrose.   Our helpful team will help you decide the best awning for your needs.

There are many different fabric colours and types available – from translucent to light blocking, depending on your needs.

Our showroom has examples of each style and most colours.

Whether you want sun protection during the middle of the day or rain protection or both, we can offer the awning option that meets your needs.

Our helpful team will help you decide the best awning for your needs.

Does my retractable awning have to be brown striped acrylic? No, the range of plains, stripes, tweeds, mesh and fabric types available for awnings makes choosing the perfect fabric for you easy and matching it to your outdoor setting even easier.

Please check our “Choose your fabric page” to look at the fabric options for each awning type.

Are you happy for your awning to last only one season? Many companies are selling awnings of different qualities. We give a minimum 5 year warranty on our hardware and fabric. We have customers with awnings that have provided them great service for more than 30 years.

An awning needs to be installed by trained professionals so you don’t have to worry about leaking buildings or damage to your house in the wind or the awning blowing away in a strong wind. Our team has in excess of 30 years experience in awning manufacture and installation.

Retractable arm awnings, fixed canopies and drop curtains in domestic areas and below 30m2 do not require a permit, unless they are within 1.5m of the boundary line. The building code specifies a permit is required for an awning 30m2 and over, and awnings that are above level 1 of a building (unless replacing an existing). Following the Christchurch earthquake the Building Code changed to require any awning over a public area requires a permit, no matter the size.

Shade sails over 50m2 require a permit.

Are you worried your awning will look dirty and mouldy after a year? We recommend fabrics that are mould resistant with a 5 year warranty. We use stainless steel and aluminium fixtures and fittings to avoid rusting and discoloration.  We recommend regular cleaning, at least once a year to ensure any mould and mildew is treated promptly. For awning cleaning we recommend Shade Doctors.

Following installation we will send our warranty and care instructions as a hard copy. You can also request a soft copy of this information at any time. These are also available on our website under warranties and guarantees.
