New and Improved Outdoor Living Solutions from Juralco

October 1, 2025 / news

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, Juralco’s innovative outdoor living systems are transforming how Kiwis enjoy their outdoor spaces.

As a market leader in custom-made aluminium solutions, Juralco continues to evolve its range of Outdoor Living Systems. Recent developments include an update to the existing range and new fixed and retractable-roof products.

“Our SunPivot®, SunFold®, and VelaSun® systems each offer flexible configurations — whether wall-mounted, freestanding, or integrated into the home. They’re designed to extend living areas and create seamless indoor-outdoor flow,” says Juralco’s Steve Huish.

Introducing the New-Generation SunPivot® Louvre Roof

The SunPivot® is the latest evolution of Juralco’s proven pivoting louvre roof. The system has been subtly enhanced with a new gutter box and integrated outer beam for seamless outdoor blind fixing. The SunPivot® still has the same features that make this premium louvre roof a popular choice.

Every SunPivot® is custom-made to suit your space and can be installed on virtually any home with no supporting structures required. Available in integrated, wall-mounted, or freestanding configurations, the SunPivot® reimagines the classic veranda or gazebo for modern outdoor living.

Key Features:

• 5-year manufacturer warranty
• 15 or 25-year Dulux® powder coating warranty
• Producer Statement (PS1) available for NZ Building Code Compliance, crucial for building consents

Each SunFold® system is custom-made to suit your project perfectly and is available in a wide range of powder coat colours to complement your architecture.

The VelaSun® Fixed Pergola Roof for Stylish Shelter

The VelaSun® Outdoor Living System offers elegant, permanent shelter for outdoor entertaining areas. Constructed from durable extruded aluminium, it’s designed to withstand New Zealand’s variable weather while enhancing the look and functionality of your outdoor space.

Unlike the SunPivot and SunFold, the VelaSun is a fixed pergola system, and you have three roof choices. Infill options like glass or Italian-made polycarbonate are the most popular, or there is the option to leave it open to the elements without any roof. Installers and customers alike love its clean lines and versatility.

Key Features:

• Strong extruded aluminium frame
• Minimal maintenance
• Roof options: UV-resistant polycarbonate or glass
• Open-sky option with no roof
• Fully custom-built and quick to install
• Wide range of powder coat colours
• Optional LED lighting
