Undercover Industries is proud to celebrate 10 years of helping Kiwis enjoy the great outdoors, whatever the weather. Since opening our doors in 2015 in sunny Mount Maunganui, we have been proudly keeping New Zealanders Undercover, with our custom-designed, locally engineered, and handcrafted outdoor living solutions.
From aluminium sliding gates and stylish pergola systems to innovative Ziptrak blinds and premium shade sails, we have continued to expand our offering while maintaining our focus on quality, durability, and seamless style.
Over the past decade, we have proudly fabricated outdoor shade solutions for customers across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Te Puke, and throughout the Bay of Plenty.
Extending Comfort and Shade with Awnings
Undercover Lateral Arm Awning Systems offer the perfect blend of function and style. Made from premium-grade aluminium and stainless steel components, and paired with Docril acrylic canvas fabric — renowned for its durability, UV resistance, and 10-year guarantee — our awnings are built to last.
With 132 Docril fabric colour options and custom powdercoated aluminium componentry, our awnings are designed to complement any home exterior. Whether you choose the semi-cassette Horizon Monobloc or the full cassette Fetuna, you can opt for manual operation or premium Somfy automation, including app control and responsive wind and motion sensors, for effortless adaptability to changing weather.
Premium Pergola Systems for Coastal Living
Our pergolas, available in curved, mono-pitch, and gable styles, are engineered with top-grade structural aluminium to withstand New Zealand’s high wind zones and coastal conditions.
All Undercover Industries pergolas feature Alysnite roofing, which offers 99.9% UV protection, ensuring your outdoor spaces remain safe, shaded, and mould-free — unlike cheaper alternatives that use twinwall materials. Every pergola is fitted with custom aluminium gutters and flashings, ensuring a smart, watertight finish built to endure.
All-Weather Outdoor Living with Ziptrak Blinds
Ziptrak outdoor blinds have become a staple for enhancing outdoor living areas in Tauranga and beyond. Available in mesh or clear PVC, our Ziptrak systems transform patios, decks, and alfresco areas into usable spaces all year round.
With their innovative track-guided, no-zips, no-buckles system, Ziptrak blinds offer effortless operation and sleek, modern aesthetics. They pair beautifully with Undercover Aluminium Pergola Systems or existing outdoor structures, providing ultimate flexibility and year-round comfort.
Superior Protection with Custom Shade Sails
Designed and fabricated in-house, Undercover Shade Sails deliver both performance and visual appeal. Our sun shade sails use premium fabrics that offer up to 99% UV protection and 97% shade coverage, ideal for residential, commercial, or educational applications. Our in-house design expertise ensures every shade sail is individually tailored to complement the surrounding architecture while maximising shade and UV protection.
Stylish, Durable Aluminium Gates
Undercover Industries’ custom aluminium gates have become the preferred choice for homeowners, builders, landscapers, and housing companies across the Bay of Plenty.
Unlike timber, aluminium gates do not twist, split, or rust — making them the ideal solution for coastal environments. We fabricate everything from basic frame gates ready for custom cladding, to sophisticated slat or louvre-style gates and fencing. Finished with your choice of Dulux powdercoated colours and fitted with premium hardware, our gates provide both function and contemporary style.
We proudly install aluminium gates across Tauranga, Rotorua, Whakatane, and throughout the wider Bay of Plenty.
Looking Ahead
Celebrating a decade in business is a proud milestone for Undercover Industries. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship, innovation, and outstanding customer service has been the cornerstone of our success.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to keeping New Zealanders Undercover — providing beautiful, functional, and long-lasting outdoor solutions for many years to come.
As daylight savings comes to a close and the cooler months begin to roll in, many homeowners find themselves retreating indoors and leaving their outdoor spaces unused. But what if your patio, deck, or conservatory could be enjoyed year-round, no matter the weather? At Undercover Industries, we believe outdoor living shouldn’t be limited by the seasons—and our Ziptrak® mesh outdoor blinds are designed to make that possible.
Serving Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty, we manufacture and install premium outdoor blinds that transform open spaces into sheltered, functional areas—offering comfort, protection, and style throughout the year.
Stay Comfortable in All Seasons
Ziptrak® outdoor blinds offer an elegant solution to the age-old problem of seasonal outdoor space limitations. Whether it’s shielding you from chilly autumn breezes, persistent rain, or the harsh glare of the summer sun, our blinds allow you to enjoy your patio or deck in comfort all year long.
By fully enclosing your space, you essentially extend your home’s living area—creating a warm, dry, and protected zone that can be used for dining, entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the view, no matter what the weather throws at you.
Effortless Functionality with Ziptrak®
Unlike traditional outdoor blind systems that rely on zips, cords, or buckles, Ziptrak® blinds feature a track-guided design that allows for smooth, easy operation. You can stop the blinds at any height—giving you full control over ventilation, light, and privacy. This clever system also eliminates flapping and banging in the wind, creating a more peaceful environment. And when not in use, the blinds retract neatly away, preserving your open view.
Built for Tauranga Conditions
Our Ziptrak® outdoor blinds are built to last, made from high-quality mesh that stands up to Tauranga’s ever-changing weather. They’re strong enough to resist wind and rain, while also offering excellent sun protection—keeping your outdoor space cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
What’s more, they provide a barrier against insects, so you can enjoy your time outdoors without unwanted visitors buzzing around.
Tailored to Suit Your Home
At Undercover Industries, we understand that every home is unique. That’s why we offer customised Ziptrak® blinds in a wide selection of colours, materials, and sizes. Whether you’re after a modern, minimalist look or something that complements your existing architecture, we’ll help you find the perfect match.
Beyond functionality, our blinds offer a sleek, contemporary finish that adds both style and value to your property.

Aluminium pergolas have become a favored addition to outdoor spaces, particularly in regions like Tauranga, Papamoa, and Mt Maunganui. Their popularity stems from exceptional durability, minimal maintenance requirements, and versatile customization options. At Undercover Industries, we specialize in manufacturing and installing premium aluminium pergola systems tailored to enhance your outdoor living experience.
Durability
One of the standout features of aluminium pergolas is their remarkable resilience. Unlike traditional wood structures, aluminium is impervious to cracking, splitting, warping, and rusting. This inherent resistance ensures that your pergola maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal over time, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions. In coastal areas, where salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion in other materials, aluminium stands strong, making it an ideal choice for seaside installations. With proper care, an aluminium pergola can serve as a long-lasting centerpiece in your outdoor space.
Low Maintenance
Homeowners often seek outdoor structures that enhance their living spaces without adding to their maintenance workload. Aluminium pergolas excel in this regard. Their resistance to rot, rust, and fading means they require minimal upkeep. A simple periodic cleaning with mild soap and water is typically sufficient to keep the pergola looking pristine. This low-maintenance characteristic allows you to enjoy your outdoor oasis without the constant concern of repairs or refinishing.
Customization
At Undercover Industries, we understand that every outdoor space is unique, and personalization is key to creating a harmonious environment. Aluminium’s versatility allows for extensive customization to match your specific preferences and needs. From selecting the perfect color to complement your home’s exterior to choosing from various design styles, the possibilities are vast. Additionally, aluminium pergolas can be outfitted with a range of accessories, such as integrated lighting, ceiling fans, or retractable canopies, enhancing both functionality and comfort.
Bioclimatic Pergolas
For those seeking advanced features, bioclimatic pergolas offer an innovative solution. Equipped with adjustable aluminium louvers, these pergolas allow you to control the amount of sunlight and ventilation, creating a comfortable microclimate beneath. By tilting the louvers, you can facilitate the upward movement of warm air, replacing it with cooler air, thus naturally regulating the temperature. This adaptability ensures optimal comfort throughout the day, regardless of changing weather conditions.
Environmental Impact
Choosing aluminium for your pergola also reflects an environmentally conscious decision. Aluminium production and recycling processes consume less energy compared to other materials, reducing the overall environmental footprint. Moreover, aluminium is highly recyclable, ensuring that your investment aligns with sustainable practices.
Heat Reflectivity
In sun-drenched regions, managing heat is crucial for outdoor comfort. Aluminium pergolas possess excellent heat reflectivity properties; they take longer to heat up under the sun and cool down more rapidly than materials like steel. This characteristic helps maintain a more comfortable temperature beneath the pergola, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space even during warmer periods.
In conclusion, aluminium pergolas offer a harmonious blend of durability, low maintenance, and customization, making them an excellent choice for enhancing outdoor living areas. Undercover Industries is dedicated to providing top-quality aluminium pergola systems that cater to the unique needs of homeowners in Tauranga, Papamoa, and Mt Maunganui. Transform your outdoor space into a stylish and functional retreat with a bespoke aluminium pergola designed and installed by our expert team.
When it comes to enhancing your outdoor living space, the best shade structure is one that seamlessly integrates with your home while providing unparalleled functionality and aesthetic appeal. At Undercover Industries in Tauranga, we specialize in manufacturing and installing premium custom shade structures, including aluminium pergolas, shade sails, awnings, and Ziptrak® blinds. Our solutions are designed to elevate your outdoor areas, making them more usable, stylish, and durable.
Top Quality and Durability: Built to Last

By choosing Undercover, you’re investing in a structure that won’t rust, ensuring your outdoor living space remains beautiful and functional for years to come. Your home is your greatest asset, and it deserves nothing but the best.
99.9% UV Protection
Protecting your family from harmful UV rays is a priority. That’s why we only use top-grade Laserlite roofing materials that provide 99.9% UV protection. Unlike cheap twin-wall roofing, our materials resist mould and maintain a modern, clean appearance over time. With Undercover Industries, you’re investing in both safety and style.

When it comes to selecting the perfect gate for your property, the right choice can enhance the aesthetics, security, and value of your home. At Undercover Industries, we specialize in custom-manufactured aluminium gates, offering homeowners, builders, landscapers, and housing companies stylish, functional, and durable solutions. Aluminium gates provide a long-lasting alternative to timber, ensuring your gates won’t twist, buckle, split, or sag, even in New Zealand’s harsh coastal climate. With a variety of styles, finishes, and options to choose from, finding the right gate has never been easier. Here’s what to consider when selecting an aluminium gate for your home:
Why Do You Want a Gate?
The first step in choosing a gate is understanding its purpose. Ask yourself:
• Is it primarily for security? • Do you need privacy for your yard or outdoor entertainment area? • Are you enclosing a swimming pool for safety? • Is the gate purely for curb appeal and aesthetics?
For example, a glass panel gate is ideal for pool safety but doesn’t offer much privacy. On the other hand, Tongue and Groove Gates provide total privacy, forming a solid panel that blocks views into your yard. Identifying your needs will help you choose the style and functionality that works best for your home.
How Much Space Do You Have?
Assessing your available space is crucial to selecting the right gate design:
• Sliding Gates: Ideal for short or narrow driveways, sliding gates open alongside your property, requiring minimal space. • Swinging Gates: Best suited for larger driveways with ample room. If you opt for a swinging gate, consider whether it will open into or out of your property. Gates opening inward are ideal for areas with high foot or vehicle traffic, while outward-swinging gates work well for quiet streets or rural settings.
At Undercover Industries, we custom design and install gates tailored to the layout of your property, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality.
What Style Do You Like?
Choosing the style of your aluminium gate is where your vision comes to life. Undercover Industries offers a range of designs to suit your preferences, from sleek modern looks to timeless classics:
• Slat Gates: A contemporary option that balances privacy and style. Available in horizontal or vertical slat configurations, with adjustable spacing to suit your needs. These gates are low-maintenance and feature welded construction, eliminating screws or fasteners. • Slat Gates: Offering increased privacy compared to slat gates, louvre gates add a sophisticated and elegant look to any home. Like all our gates, they are custom fabricated and powder-coated to your choice of colour. • Tongue and Groove Gates: Perfect for ultimate privacy, these gates form a solid panel and can be installed horizontally or vertically for a tailored finish.
All our aluminium gates are powder-coated in your chosen colour from the Dulux Colour Range, ensuring a stylish, durable finish that complements your home’s exterior.
Do You Need Automation?
Automatic gates add an extra layer of convenience and security to your property. If you frequently use your gate, an automated system can save time and effort, while also enhancing safety. Though they come with a higher initial investment, the added convenience and peace of mind often make automation well worth the cost.
Undercover Industries can guide you through the benefits of automatic gates and help you decide if this feature aligns with your needs.
Do You Need More Privacy?
If privacy is a priority, consider choosing gates that offer less transparency. For example:
• Louvre Gates: Provide both style and privacy with angled panels that limit visibility. • Tongue and Groove Gates: Fully solid gates that block views completely, perfect for yards located at street level or close to neighbours.
These options not only protect your privacy but also create a clean and contemporary look for your property.
Why Choose Aluminium?
Unlike timber, aluminium gates won’t warp, rot, or split, and the frames will never rust—making them ideal for New Zealand’s coastal climate. At Undercover Industries, we use only high-quality components, ensuring durable and long-lasting gates that stand up to the elements.
