Outdoor living Hokitika
Designed around Hokitika.
Hokitika is famous for its beach sunsets and Southern Alps views — and for its rainfall. With some of the wettest weather in the country, an uncovered deck is often a wet deck.
At Shade Smart, we design outdoor rooms that let Hokitika homes make the most of the Coast's clear spells and spectacular evenings. Louvre roofs with integrated guttering keep you dry, and blinds shelter you from coastal wind without hiding the view.
Louvre roofs Hokitika
When the blades are closed, a louvre roof sheds heavy West Coast rain through integrated guttering. Open them when the sun breaks through to enjoy the light.

Outdoor blinds Hokitika
Outdoor blinds protect a beachside deck from wind and driving rain, while clear fabrics keep your sunset view.

Pergolas Hokitika
A Transroof pergola keeps your outdoor area dry without blocking light from your living spaces — a strong choice for Hokitika's wetter months.

Turn your deck into another room.
A properly designed louvre roof combined with outdoor blinds can turn an exposed deck or patio into a sheltered outdoor living area — somewhere to eat, relax and entertain long after the sun drops behind the Remarkables.

Reviews
Loved by homeowners across New Zealand.
“We had a custom built Louvre system installed over our decking. It was quite complex due to the size and the fact we have solar panels. Special brackets needed to be made and the guys did a great job working it all out. We are extremely happy with the end result. Excellent product that works well and looks fantastic.”
“We highly recommend Shade Smart precision engineering, quality products strong and attractive, first class Company providing attention, care, quality, value for money.”
“The guys were great to deal with, sharp price compared to the competition and the finished louvers came up great.”
“Great product and service, got my outdoor motorised blind working with google homes and has all the smart function with the wifi built-in blinds.”
“Their staff who installed the roof and blinds worked efficiently and professionally at all times. Two minor problems with electronics were solved almost immediately and we could not fault the follow up service.”
“Angus and team helped my parents build a pergola. Very nice and professional, would definitely recommend.”
