Add Space For More Living & Entertainment Areas, Enhance Value To Your Home With Our Permanent Waterproof Awning Or Canopy Systems

Our Awnings

Awnings & Canopies provide the ultimate solution for expanding your living and entertaining areas while adding substantial value to your home. Crafted right here in New Zealand, these awning systems are tailor-made to withstand our environmental conditions. They have been independently engineered and certified to endure very high wind zones, ensuring they are fully compliant with the New Zealand Building Code.

Exceptional Materials

We take pride in using only the finest materials. Shade Direct’s Awnings & Canopies are constructed from marine-grade Structural RHS Aluminium, which guarantees durability and rust resistance. These permanent fixtures are not only waterproof but also robust, requiring minimal maintenance to keep them looking pristine.

Awnings, Canopies & Pergola Design Options

We understand that every home is unique. That’s why our shade solutions offer versatility in design. You can choose between an arched or flat styled roof, allowing you to customise your awning to seamlessly blend with your property’s aesthetic.

Rust-Free Durability: The Robust Nature of Outsider & Clearspan Awnings in New Zealand

1. Arched Roof Awnings: With their gentle curves, they add a touch of sophistication to any setting. If you’re looking to infuse a sense of timeless charm into your outdoor space, the arched roof option is a perfect choice.

2. Flat Roof Awnings: For those who appreciate a more contemporary, streamlined look, the flat roof design is ideal. It complements modern architecture, offering clean lines and a sleek appearance. Great with minimalist aesthetics, enhancing your outdoor space’s modern vibe.

A Splash of Color

Our Awnings can be powder-coated in a colour of your choice, ensuring that your awning not only provides functionality but also complements your personal style.

  • Creating a sunshade or rain shelter cover for your outdoor area.
