Most outdoor shade solutions work well—until the weather changes.

Sun is only half the problem. If a space isn’t usable in the rain, it’s not truly functional.

Our waterproof PVC shade sails are designed to create genuine all-weather outdoor areas:

• Fully waterproof membrane
• Blocks harmful UV while still allowing natural light through
• Engineered for controlled drainage
• Clean, tensioned architectural finish
• Durable, high-end materials suited to New Zealand conditions

From decks and courtyards to poolside spaces, these systems significantly extend how often your outdoor areas can be used.

If you’re investing in your home, it’s worth making those spaces usable year-round.

What a difference a day makes! Old clears off in the morning, and new ones back on by the end of the day. We also made a few squabs while we were at it. 1 day transformation!

We take old billboards and make them into hard-wearing, super cool bags. Each one is unique and new designs are added as old ones go out the door.

[BTW - we can convert YOUR old billboards into bags or other items!]

Another unsolicited testimonial - and with a backdrop to die for...
"I am so happy with the custom seat covers that you made. I arrived home from holiday, unpacked these covers and put them on the outdoor rocking chairs.
They fit perfectly! We can’t thank you enough."

“We received these today and we are so impressed with them. Perfect fit, easy to install and great colour. Very happy. Awesome communication throughout process.” - thanks Jo!

You measure, we make! Our outdoor furniture covers are made with quality materials that last. Each cover is made to measure in our Auckland factory using dimensions you supply. No more ugly, loose fitting covers that dissolve at the first sight of sun!

Our digital design process means we can make covers for almost anything.

Gavin is pretty happy with the fit of Scarpa's new mainsail cover. But we can't take all the credit - he provided the measurements. Keep the costs down by measuring yours too using our form: http://sailmakers.co.nz/sails/sailcovers/

Something interesting taking shape in the small hours of this morning. All will be revealed next week...

We are currently offering 10% discount on marine canvas labour while things are quiet. So bring in your tired marine canvas for repair or replacement rather than waiting for the summer rush (we can visit the marina too, if required.)

Here's a job we completed this week - protective covers for the cockpit and bright-work.

Happy to be back at work and have this pergola recovered for winter entertaining.
