Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

Things people ask us regularly. If your question isn't here, just get in touch.

What standard sizes do you offer?
All four standard configurations come in widths of 2.6m, 3.2m, 3.8m and 5.2m. Open Front and Typical have a 1.4m base and roof depth; Typical has a partly enclosed front. Slimline has a 0.8m base plus a 0.6m overhang, giving a 1.4m roof depth. Overhung has a 1.4m base plus a 0.6m overhang, giving a 2.0m roof depth.
‍Can you do custom sizes?
Yes. We can develop a shelter around your site, dimensions and intended use. Send us your brief, drawings or site photos. We will confirm the design, engineering requirements, cost and programme for your project.
What cladding options are available?
Standard cladding options include full-height 10.38mm laminated safety glass, perforated aluminium panels, or a combination of lower perforated panels and upper glass. We can help you compare visibility, weather protection and maintenance for your site.
Are your shelters Building Code compliant?
Engineering and documentation requirements depend on the shelter configuration and site. We confirm the required project information during specification. Consent requirements should be checked with the relevant local authority before work proceeds.
What is included in the quotation?
Your quotation sets out the agreed scope, price, inclusions and exclusions. Supply, freight, installation and any site preparation requirements are confirmed for your project so responsibilities are clear before work starts.
How long does delivery take?
Lead times depend on the configuration, order size, materials and current production schedule. We confirm the programme with your quotation and discuss any site or access requirements that could affect delivery and installation.
Can shelters be used for designated smoking areas?
We offer shelters for designated outdoor smoking areas. Suitability depends on the location, enclosure and your workplace requirements. We can provide configuration details to support your assessment; confirm the applicable requirements before installation.
‍Do you install nationwide?
Yes. We supply and install shelters across New Zealand. Share the location, access conditions and any site preparation needs so these can be included in the agreed scope, programme and quotation.
What maintenance do aluminium shelters require?
Regular cleaning and inspection help keep a shelter in good condition. Check panels, fixings, drainage and finishes, and arrange repairs when needed. Cleaning methods and intervals should suit the materials, coating guidance and site environment.
Can shelters be branded with our colours or logo?
Yes. Powder-coat colours, branding panels and cladding can be considered as part of the specification. Send us your brand colours or artwork and we will confirm the available options and finishes.
What is a Combo shelter?
A Combo (COM) configuration combines perforated aluminium panels in the lower sections with laminated safety glass above. It provides visibility through the upper panels and a practical lower panel option. The final layout is confirmed in the specification.
Do you work with architects and designers?
Yes, and we enjoy it. Architects often specify shelter requirements as part of a broader public space or infrastructure project. We're happy to work from your drawings and specifications, provide product information for inclusion in specs, and collaborate on custom configurations. Get in touch early in the design process and we can provide technical input that saves time later.
