Locally Crafted for Quality and Durability

All our shade sails, fixed canopies, outdoor blinds, awnings, and pergolas are manufactured right here in New Zealand. This means that when you buy a Lidgard shade solution, you’re assured of top-quality materials, strict quality control, and outstanding support. Every step, from design to installation, is carried out with great care, and we’re proud to stamp the Lidgard brand on the side knowing our shade solutions will stand the test of time.

Designed and manufactured by Kiwis, for Kiwis.

New Zealand loves making it difficult to predict the weather. Sunshine one minute, wind and rain the next. This means that shade solutions should be robust, hardy products that can resist our coastal climate. Our products are produced using premium materials specifically designed for long-lasting performance. They provide excellent UV protection, resist mould and mildew, and maintain their vibrant appearance year after year.

Rather than selling you an off the shelf solution, we work closely with you to design a custom shade solution that matches your outdoor space. We consider factors like your home’s colours, your outdoor layout, and how you plan to use the space. The result is a shade solution that not only looks, but will also stand the best of time.

50 Years Experience Across Residential, Commercial, and Educational Spaces

We’re not just experts in residential shading. Our team has also created New Zealand Made Shade solutions for commercial venues, hospitality settings, and educational facilities. From cafes and restaurants to schools and early learning centres, our products help people enjoy the outdoors comfortably and safely. This broad experience informs every project we take on, ensuring you benefit from decades of refined expertise.

Supporting Local Craftsmanship

By choosing a New Zealand made shade solution, you’re not just supporting local craftsmanship, you’re investing in a legacy of quality and innovation. Low-cost, imported products often compromise on materials or workmanship. At Lidgard however, we’ve spent decades refining our designs, testing our fabrics, and perfecting our installation methods. We use this knowledge to continually refine and improve our product range.

We back every shade solution we produce with the Lidgard quality guarantee. This gives you the confidence to know you’ve chosen a product built to last. At Lidgard, we pass on the expertise and skills we’ve developed over half a century to ensure Kiwi craftsmanship thrives for future generations.
