Outdoor Shade in Raglan

Raglan is the toughest place in the Waikato to build shade for — salt spray, strong onshore westerlies and fierce summer sun coming off the water. So we spec every job here for coastal conditions: wind-rated installs, fixings chosen to handle the salt, and fabrics that cope with serious UV. Everything is made in our Pirongia workshop and installed at your place, over the hill.

What we do in Raglan

Awnings

Retractable awnings you can pull in when the westerly gets up and roll out again when the sun comes back.

Outdoor Umbrellas

Shade7 cantilever umbrellas rated for real coastal wind, not just a still Sunday afternoon.

Raglan questions

Do you come out to Raglan?

Yes — we measure and install in Raglan regularly. The workshop is in Pirongia, so we come over the hill for site visits and installs, and everything is made back at the workshop before install day.

What does a free measure and quote look like in Raglan?

We visit your place and pay particular attention to how the wind hits it — which way the westerly comes in matters as much as where the sun sits. Then we measure, talk through wind-rated options and come back with a fixed, no-obligation price. Lead times are confirmed when we quote.

Will the salt air wreck the fittings?

Not if the job is specced for it. Coastal installs get fixings and hardware chosen to handle salt spray, and fabrics that cope with the heavy UV coming off the water — that's simply how we spec every Raglan job.
