Is your outdoor space ready for a winter upgrade?
As the temperature drops across the Bay of Plenty, you don’t have to retreat indoors. Winter is actually the absolute smartest time to transform your outdoor area into a cozy, weather-protected sanctuary—ready to enjoy right now, and perfectly primed for the busier seasons ahead.
At Making Shade Limited, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and installing custom, high-end shade solutions that lock out bitter winds, shield your assets from harsh frost, and maintain a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle all year round.
Meet Your Winter Weather Defenders
Ziptrak Outdoor Blinds - The ultimate wind barrier
Its patented track-guided system completely seals the sides of your patio. Block freezing wind and heavy rain, turn on an outdoor heater, and create an instant, insulated outdoor room.

Omega Retractable Pergolas - The heavy-duty architectural hero
Engineered with fully waterproof fabrics and a robust framework, this system creates a completely enclosed, weather-tight lounge. Ideal for large decks and winter entertaining.

Flexible Winter Lighting & Heavy-Duty Protection
Who says shade sails are just for summer? They are an exceptionally stylish and affordable way to protect large areas, windows, or outdoor spa pools from heavy winter downpours, frost, and debris. Utilizing our high-tech 3D design software, we model the exact placement on your property using satellite imaging before we ever cut the fabric. This ensures precision engineering and a perfect fit to withstand wild local winter storms.

Engineering meets absolute luxury. Markilux full-cassette awnings protect your premium fabric core from harsh winter grime and dampness when retracted. On wilder days, integrated smart wind sensors automatically pull the awning safely away.


The ultimate choice for winter flexibility. Roll them out to protect your decking and outdoor furniture from heavy morning frost or unexpected downpours. Then, easily glide them away on darker, overcast days to let precious, low-angle winter sunlight flood straight into your indoor living spaces.

Beat the Spring Rush & Save
Booking your consultation during winter means avoiding the massive spring installation queue, ensuring your home or commercial space is completely finished before the summer heat hits. Let us custom-design a solution tailored exactly to your property and budget.
