As summer approaches, your deck becomes the go-to spot for enjoying the outdoors. You’ve finished your decking project, and it looks fantastic. But as you step back to admire your work, you might feel that something is missing — a cover to provide shade and protection. That’s where a pergola comes into play. At Undercover Industries, we specialize in creating custom aluminium pergolas that are both functional and stylish, perfect for completing your deck area in Tauranga.
Why a Pergola is Essential for Your Deck
A pergola offers more than just aesthetic appeal; it’s a versatile structure that enhances your outdoor living experience. Whether you’re looking to create a shaded area to escape the harsh midday sun or seeking a spot to entertain guests, a pergola is the ideal addition to your deck. Not only does it offer protection from all elements — rain, wind, or sun — but it also extends the life of your outdoor furniture and prevents your decking from sun-fading.
Custom-Designed Pergolas for Every Space
At Undercover Industries, our pergola systems are made to meet your specific needs. We offer a range of designs, including mono-pitch, gable, and curved pergolas, all fabricated from high-grade 6061 T6 aluminium. This material is not only strong and durable but also resistant to the varied weather conditions in Tauranga. Each pergola is custom-designed to complement its surroundings, whether you need a cover for your deck, a patio, or even a carport.
Our commitment to quality doesn’t end with the design. We ensure every pergola undergoes a full immersion chromate pre-treatment process before being powder coated in your choice of colour from the Dulux range. This guarantees that your pergola will not only look great but also stand up to New Zealand’s harsh UV rays, providing 99.9% UV protection.
Enhance Your Deck with Privacy and Shade
Adding a pergola to your deck isn’t just about protection; it’s also about creating a space that’s private and comfortable. A pergola adds an extra layer of privacy to your deck design without isolating you from your surroundings. For even more privacy, consider adding a trellis to your pergola.
Moreover, a pergola provides just the right amount of shade, making it perfect for those hot summer days. Imagine relaxing under the shade of your pergola with a cool drink, or hosting a summer barbecue with friends and family. The structure is tall enough to comfortably accommodate a dining table, making it the perfect spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Ziptrak® Mesh Outdoor Blinds: The Perfect Complement
To further enhance your outdoor living space, consider adding our Ziptrak® Mesh Outdoor Blinds to your pergola. These blinds transform your pergola into a versatile, year-round living area, offering protection from the elements while allowing you to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. The track-guided, no-zips, no-buckles system ensures effortless operation, giving you complete control over your outdoor environment.
Built to Last, Guaranteed
All of our pergola systems are built locally in Mount Maunganui by our team of expert fabricators. We take pride in offering high-quality, locally-made products that are designed to withstand the unique conditions of New Zealand. Unlike some competitors who use inferior imported materials, we ensure our pergolas are made to the highest standards.
In fact, we’re so confident in the durability and performance of our pergolas that we offer a 10-year guarantee. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.
Before You Build: Council Consent
When planning to install a pergola on your deck, it’s important to check with your local council to ensure compliance with building codes. While pergolas can be an excellent addition to your deck, certain installations may require consent, especially if they are elevated.
A pergola is the perfect finishing touch for your deck, offering protection, shade, and style. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy outdoor dining area, a shaded retreat, or simply enhance the aesthetic of your deck, Undercover Industries has the expertise to bring your vision to life.
