Roof-Only Option (Retrofit into Existing Structures)
Already have a structure in place but it’s not working?
The Cerberus Plus system can be installed as a roof-only solution, allowing you to upgrade an existing pergola or outdoor frame without rebuilding everything.
This is one of the most practical ways to transform a space without starting from scratch.
Ideal for:
• Existing timber pergolas
• Steel outdoor frames
• Covered decks needing adjustability
• Hospitality spaces upgrading fixed roofs
Why this works:
• Can be made to measure to fit existing structures
• Uses engineered aluminium for long-term performance
• Manual or motorised operation available
• Compatible with smart upgrades (rain sensors, automation)
• Integrates with existing posts and beams (subject to suitability)
What it changes:
Most pre-built structures are fixed — meaning they’re:
• Too hot in summer
• Too dark in winter
• Useless in rain
Adding a louvre roof gives you:
• Adjustable sun and shade
• Rain protection on demand
• Airflow control
• A space that actually gets used year-round

• Stainless steel fixings
• Modular expansion capability
• Residential + commercial ready
The Pizza Oven Problem (And the Chimney Solution)
Outdoor fireplaces and pizza ovens are common — but most pergolas don’t account for them.
Cerberus Plus does.
How it works:
• Planned cut-outs in the roof layout
• Structural allowances for flues
• Waterproofing maintained
Result:
• Safe heat management
• Proper smoke ventilation
• Clean integrated finish
Warranty
• Lifetime Manufacturing Warranty (Apollo NZ professional installs)
