Meet Shade & Shelter aka the real slim shady of our core pergola range. They are sleek, compact, and are built for side paths, patios, and places other pergolas can’t go.
Let's be real, urban living doesn’t always come with room for one of our big boy pergolas. That's why we've scaled things down and brought you Shade and Shelter aka the real Slim Shady.
It’s everything you know and love about the core pergola range; sleek louvres, a durable frame, and that signature matte powder-coated finish. They are just tailored to fit those smaller, tighter spots. At just 1.5 x 3 metres, it’s perfect for townhouse courtyards, patios, entrance walkways, small backyards, or those awkward in-between zones that have never quite had a purpose... until now.
Whether it’s adding cover to your front door, throwing some shade over the BBQ, sheltering that awkward stretch from garage to house, or finally putting that forgotten side strip to good use — Shade and Shelter steps in where the big boys can’t.

The louvres shut tightly when closed and are waterproof during showers - great for BBQs you're so fond of. Rain water runs down the sides into internal gutters, then down through the legs rather than pouring out over the sides. So you won't have to fear any unexpected deluges from on high, either!
With tough aluminium construction, and galvanised fasteners, this is a rust-proof structure that's going to bring you a lot more use of your pool area, garden, balcony or patio no matter what the weather-person is guesstimating. Party on, indeed!
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE WIND, RUST, RAIN:
Our pergolas are wind-rated to 75km/h (Beaufort Scale: 8). We recommend that you leave the louvres in the OPEN position when the pergola is not in use. The closed louvres act a bit like an umbrella catching gusts, so it’s safer to let the wind blow through rather than exert force on the structure.
Our Pergolas are made from rust-proof powder coated aluminium. This ensures your Pergola will stay looking sleek and matte for many years to come. However, if you are living in a coastal area, it is recommended to hose down your Pergola occasionally to prevent sea spray erosion.
During rain showers, the Pergolas are waterproof. When the louvres are shut, rain water runs down the sides into internal gutters, then down through the legs rather than pouring out over the sides. However, please note that during heavy or torrential rain, water may drip through the louvred roof.
WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS:
This structure is a non-permanent structure and warranty does not cover fading or damage incurred due to extreme weather exposure (including heavy rain, winds, exposure to high heat from bbqs and heaters). It also does not cover damage to the pergola caused by negligence, accident or misuse. Please follow the instruction manual for installation as damage caused by not following the instructions will void your warranty.
Warranty covers domestic use only and does not apply to commercial use. However, we will do our best to help with any issues or replacements parts.
*In some cases, a building or resource consent may be needed. For pergolas over 20 square metres we recommend checking with your local council authorities for further information and guidance.*
