Standardised Simplicity Meets Flexible Outdoor Living
Across New Zealand and the Pacific, outdoor spaces are no longer seasonal extras — they are core living zones. Decks, patios, and courtyards are expected to work harder, stay comfortable longer, and adapt quickly to changing weather.
This shift is exactly why retractable pergola systems in NZ are gaining rapid momentum.
The Cerberus Eclipse Retractable
A standard-size kitset retractable pergola engineered to balance structural strength, clean architectural design, and real-world usability.
Eclipse Design Direction
Visually, the Cerberus Eclipse Retractable follows the established Cerberus design language, delivering a modern pergola that integrates seamlessly into New Zealand outdoor spaces.
Key Design Features
• Clean rectangular aluminium frame
• Modern flat-beam profile
• Integrated retractable canopy system
• Minimalist architectural appearance
• Kitset-friendly structural layout
The system is intentionally not overcomplicated — which is exactly where many kitset pergolas fall short.
Ideal Installation Environments
The Eclipse Retractable pergola is designed to perform across a wide range of outdoor settings:
• NZ residential decks
• Poolside environments
• Coastal homes
• Hospitality courtyards
• Pacific resort applications
Engineered Aluminium Platform
At the core of the system is Extruded Aluminium Alloy (6063-T5) — a proven architectural material widely used in premium outdoor pergola construction.
Material Advantages
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Smooth powder-coat finish quality
• Strong structural span capability
• Lightweight for kitset handling
• Suitable for coastal NZ conditions
For New Zealand and Pacific environments, material selection is critical. The Eclipse platform is built with long-term durability firmly in mind.
