NZ Shelters began in the early 2000s with Chris and Sheree Abraham's aluminium shelter design. In 2026, the Cottle family took over the business, continuing the established range and developing new solutions for public and commercial spaces. Today we design, manufacture, supply and install shelters throughout New Zealand. Our work ranges from standard bus and workplace shelters to covered walkways and larger custom structures. NZ Shelters is a trading name of Waterlea Group Ltd.

We treat our customers the way we'd want to be treated. Honest advice, fair pricing, and the kind of service you'd give to someone you know personally.
We select materials, finishes and configurations for the intended site and use, with engineering and installation requirements addressed as part of the project.
Our best customers are the ones who come back. That only happens when you do the right thing – even when it costs you short-term. We'd rather build a relationship than win a single job.
If it can't be done, we say so. If there's a better way, we'll tell you. Clear, honest communication from people who know their product inside out.
