They’re almost an extension of your house, bringing indoor-outdoor flow, and they have a number of uses,” says Juralco’s Dan Rawling.

The VelaSun Outdoor Living System is an ideal solution for extra outdoor shelter for the home.

An elegant aluminium, fixed outdoor pergola system designed to shelter your outdoor entertainment area from harsh sun and rain, it’s a perfect fixed canopy for New Zealand’s variable weather conditions.

“This is a fixed roof system, whereas the SunPivot and SunFold are folding and pivoting – they open to some degree. However, this is a pergola with an aluminium frame and you can have it with or without any infill; it can be an open-sky pergola or you can have a glass or polycarbonate infill,” says Rawling. 

“The feedback that we’ve received from our installation network, and also from customers is that this is an attractive product for them, and so we’ve introduced this to the market to fulfil that need.”

Features:

• Durable extruded aluminium frame.
• Minimal maintenance.
• Roof infill available as UV-resistant polycarbonate roofing or glass. A roofless version is also available.
• Enhance outdoor spaces.
• The frame can be powder-coated in a wide range of colours.
• Easy installation.
• Custom built.
• Versatile design.
• Optional extra like LED lighting available.

All outdoor living systems by Juralco are designed and manufactured in New Zealand, and they are custom-made for every project. “We tailor our products for customers’ individual requirements,” says Rawling.

“We have a nationwide network of installers across New Zealand’s North and South Islands. We are available for technical assistance over the phone, or our dedicated team via the internet. We also have specification spaces on our website where a specifier or design professional can upload supporting technical documents for any council consent process, including a producer statement, technical manuals, compliance information and general guidance. We can also assist if there are any non-standard fixings that they want to use, or they want to use a louvre roof in conjunction with something else, then that’s something our internal engineers and design team can also provide guidance and assistance with.”
