Outdoor canopy specialists for shade and shelter.

It was back in 1998 that the concept of Archgola™ originated here in New Zealand. With foresight and vision, not to mention engineering and design integrity, it didn’t take long until Archgola™ became the number one choice of canopies and shade solutions for New Zealanders.

In 2015, the demand for Archgola™ by New Zealanders all around the country saw the business move into its purpose-built facility on Auckland’s North Shore. Our in-house state-of-the-art powder coating operation and dedicated, highly skilled welding team means we have complete control over the production and quality of every Archgola™.

Archgola™ uses the best building code-compliant materials installed by our dedicated national licensee network. With increasing building and compliance costs, our Archgola™ commercial package provides an attractive, competitive and adaptable solution in the residential, education, sporting, commercial and hospitality sectors.

The Archgola™ team offer advice and support with design and compliance requirements.

Custom-designed solution.

Design:

Our strength is in the versatility of the modular structure of the Archgola™ design. Our ability to cover a breadth of applications – from free-standing and adjoined to building structures, rectangular, square, corners, L-shaped and more- means we can create a solution to fit any project's practical and aesthetic needs.
Archgola™ licensed installers care for all the engineering and council consent requirements; creating a weather protection zone for your home, business, and customers has never been easier.
Our team is experienced in working with local authorities, education centres, and associations to ensure the design and build meet the requirements of local building codes and environmental conditions and the needs of the project management group.

Engineered:

Design methods are certified by an independent structural engineer; each frame provides stability and structure for your Archgola™ to ensure it’s built to last.
Our customised design concepts are drawn to engineering certification, meet Building Code NZ3604 (IL1), and align with AS/NZ1170 Structural Design Standards.
This means canopies can be installed in high to very high wind zones.

Roofing:

Canopies are as watertight as possible using flashings and guttering. Options for roofing material include a variation of polycarbonate, web glass and colour steel roofing, depending on the warmth and light transfer required.

Enclosing the space:

Outdoor curtains provide extra weather protection. We offer a commercial-quality curtain system, Ezi Guide, with blinds made of mesh or clear PVC. This provides a hard-wearing solution ideal for residential and commercial applications.

Manufacturer:

Archgola™ steel frames are top quality and durable. The galvanised tubular frame is built to last. We develop our canopy frames from scratch. New Zealand’s leading industrial tube manufacturer, Industrial Tube, makes steel tubes. The pre-galvanised tube is coiled and cut to precision, ensuring the strength required of the canopy frame.
Hot-dip galvanised then powder-coated frames are also available—please ask your local Archgola™ licensee what is the preferred steel coating to suit your location or structure.
Powder coating system add layers of protection to deliver a premium product with superior longevity outdoors and an attractive finish. This also means you can choose nearly any colour you like including bright colours for good visibility.

Build:

The success of our extensive national network, both in the supply chain and with our Archgola™ Installation Agents, is founded on long-term relationships with highly skilled professionals. This has ensured our growth across the country.

Testimonials

“The work was carried out with the greatest efficiency and the team that did the work were very pleasant, polite and worked extremely well.”

J Massey – Palmerston North

“The workmanship was first class and the construction has certainly stood up to the very high winds we have recently encountered.”

W & C Probert - Whangaparaoa

“Sefton School is really pleased with the new Archgolas that were installed over the summer holidays. There have been multiple comments on how good they look and how much of an enhancement they are for the school. The school is now able to use the shaded areas in front of the classrooms for outside activities, for morning tea and lunch breaks and have the whole school seated in the shade which is a great bonus on hot North Canterbury days.

It was really easy working with the team from Archgola Canterbury North who provided a highly professional service right from the initial contact through to the completion of the project.”

David Haythornthwaite, Principal – Sefton Primary School

Archgola team are so friendly and kept us up to date with progress and highly recommend to anyone interested in making their house a beautifully livable home."

Glen - Marlborough

“For a very long time we wanted to have an Archgola erected on our deck. This dream became a reality only a few days ago. The construction by Archgola team is excellent and everyone who has seen this are awestruck by its beauty. I recommend Archgola for their excellent work, their dedication and for their professionalism.”

R Sunder - West Auckland

“We are absolutely rapt with the Archgola and it is exceeding expectations. The guys who installed it were professional and efficient workers who left no mess and did a great job. I would certainly recommend an Archgola to my friends and family.”

Julie – Central East

“We contacted Archgola because we had a problem of both rain and light coming into our living area. Archgola listened to our problems and designed a solution which has worked magnificently.”

B & L Mead - Raglan

“Thanks so much for the Archgola canopy, we should have done this years ago. Now we have the extra room outside we can make use of those warm nights.”

B & K McNab - New Plymouth

“Our carport looks amazing, I am loving the look and the cooling shades the carport provides. An instant increase in our house value. What we need now is to fix our roof and give it a fresh paint! Lovely working with you. I will definitely recommend you guys.”

Elaine – Central Auckland

“Delighted with the curtains. Makes a huge difference. We can now open the ranch sliders without a howling gale blowing through the house. They have also cut down the outside noise level.”

J Slater - Blenheim

“We were looking for a cost effective, durable, attractive solution to give shade and rain protection over a deck at Broadgreen Intermediate. We found the right result in Archgola. The team were really helpful, efficient and made the process really easy. The team worked around us to install while the children weren’t on site. The finished product is a durable, attractive structure that still provides light to the classrooms but at the same time filters direct sunlight stopping the glare. We will definitely be looking at them again for our next shade/rain protection structure.”

Pete Mitchener, Principal - Broadgreen Intermediate School

“We are really pleased with the finished shade area and look forward to getting more use from it as the Covid situation improves and swimmers spend more time socialising. Archgola team were fantastic to partner to team up with. The process was easy and stress free, from design to consent to the build. From the initial meeting to the final product Archgola took the time to understand our needs and deliver a fantastic product. We would 100% recommend Archgola as a solution for other recreational complexes.”

Matt Horne, Chief Executive – Perry Aquatic Center, Cambridge
