In many cases, aluminium canopies under 30 square metres and non-enclosed may not require building consent in New Zealand. Requirements can vary depending on wind zone, proximity to boundaries, fixing method, and local council rules. A site assessment is recommended before finalising the design.
Yes. Aluminium canopies can be designed to suit New Zealand wind conditions when post sizes, spans, and fixing details are properly considered. The final design is typically adjusted based on the project’s wind zone and installation location to support long-term stability.
Aluminium canopies can be fitted with polycarbonate or glass roofing. Polycarbonate is lightweight, impact-resistant, and provides strong UV protection. Glass offers a clearer appearance but requires stronger supporting structures due to its weight.
Polycarbonate canopies are lighter and highly impact-resistant, making them a practical option for New Zealand outdoor conditions. Glass canopies look more transparent but are heavier and may require additional structural support. The best option depends on your site conditions, design preference, and budget.

Maintenance is minimal. Periodic cleaning and clearing leaves from drainage areas are usually enough to keep the canopy in good condition.
Once materials are ready, installation typically takes one to two days, depending on canopy size, design complexity, and site access.
Yes. Side enclosures or outdoor blinds can be added during the initial installation or at a later stage. Additional structural considerations may apply depending on enclosure size and wind exposure.
