Wind is site-specific
Regional wind maps are not a substitute for project-specific structural assessment. Terrain, topography, building height and local shielding can materially change actions on the structure.

Louvre Pergolas for Coastal & High-Wind NZ Sites
Coastal and exposed New Zealand sites need more than a generic wind-speed claim. The actual site, terrain, building relationship, corrosion environment, foundations and operating procedure all influence the appropriate louvre system.

Direct answer
The short version.
Treat wind and salt exposure as design inputs from the start. Select the product pathway only after the site exposure, support conditions, drainage, corrosion environment and local structural responsibilities are understood.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Salt changes maintenance
Coastal salt deposition can increase cleaning and finish-maintenance requirements. Fasteners, interfaces and any damaged coatings also need attention.
Water still needs a route
High rainfall and wind-driven rain make gutter, downpipe and site-discharge planning important even when the roof itself is designed to manage normal rain.
Operating state matters
The appropriate louvre position during severe weather is system-specific. Project handover should include the actual operating and maintenance instructions for the selected product.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Does Apollo supply louvre pergolas for coastal and high-wind sites in New Zealand?
Yes. Apollo reviews suitable New Zealand projects through the relevant product pathway. Exact configuration, availability, documentation and freight are confirmed for the actual project rather than assumed from a generic page.
Does Apollo install louvre pergolas for coastal and high-wind sites?
Apollo is primarily supply-only. Local design, engineering, approvals, foundations, electrical work and installation remain with the appointed New Zealand project team unless expressly included in a written project scope.
What should I send for an initial review?
Send the project location, intended use, dimensions or drawings, photographs, target timing and any known wind, coastal, drainage, access, power or local-compliance requirements relevant to the product.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
