Coverings can dramatically improve how much and how often you use your outdoor areas. From sun protection to shelter from rain, the right structure extends the life and comfort of your outdoor space.
Shane Waaka installs a mix of fixed and flexible options. Pergolas are a go-to for semi-permanent shade, while retractable awnings offer flexibility for changing seasons.
In areas with more exposure, polycarbonate roofing or louvre systems offer better protection without blocking too much light. Shane suggests aligning covering style with existing house lines and materials.
