Create Shade and Style With a Custom Pergola

From fixed pergolas to adjustable louvre systems, we build beautiful outdoor structures that extend your living space and enhance your entertaining area.

What we do

Enhance your outdoor entertaining space

A pergola is more than just a shade structure—it is an architectural feature that adds beauty, functionality, and value to your outdoor space. At Strong Builds, we specialise in building custom pergolas that create the perfect environment for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying Auckland’s outdoor lifestyle.

Whether you desire a traditional timber pergola, a modern architectural structure, or an innovative adjustable louvre system that allows you to control sun and shade, we manage the entire process from initial design through to final installation. Our pergolas are built with premium materials and expert craftsmanship to create stunning outdoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let us answer some of your questions regarding our services and business

1Do I need council consent for a pergola?

Most pergolas do not require building consent if they are open structures. However, if your pergola includes a roof or enclosed elements, building consent may be required. We assess your specific design and handle any necessary applications on your behalf.

A traditional pergola has fixed slats that provide partial shade. A louvre system features adjustable blades that can be opened or closed to control the amount of sun and shade, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor space in any weather. Both are beautiful and functional options.

A typical pergola project takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on size, complexity, and whether louvre systems are included. We provide a detailed timeline during the quotation phase.

Yes, if your pergola is structurally designed to support additional weight, we can integrate a roof, retractable awning, or shade cloth. We discuss these options during the design phase and ensure the structure is properly engineered.
