Cerberus Plus: The Kitset with Made-to-Measure Flexibility
When it comes to balancing design, performance, and practicality, the Cerberus Plus System by Apollo NZ sets a new benchmark in kitset pergolas. Designed for New Zealand’s unique climate and architectural styles, this next-generation louvre system combines refined aesthetics with functional innovation — making it one of the most versatile aluminium pergolas available today.
Designed for New Zealand Conditions
Built from premium 6063-T6 aluminium and engineered for long-term durability, the Cerberus Plus is made for both residential and light-commercial use. Its sleek design, integrated drainage, and weather-resistant powder coating make it an ideal choice for coastal, urban, or high-rainfall environments.
Optional Bottom Drainage — A Smart Solution for Modern Deck Installations
Water management plays a crucial role in the longevity of any outdoor system. The Cerberus Plus System introduces an optional bottom-drainage feature, inspired by the high-end engineering of the Orion Prime range.
Instead of visible side outlets, this clever design channels water through the internal post cavity, exiting neatly at the base. The result is a clean, uninterrupted profile that enhances both function and appearance.
Key Benefits
Seamless Design — No visible side outlets or pipework, maintaining a sleek architectural finish.
Perfect for Decks — Ideal for timber or composite decks where under-surface drainage is preferred.
Reduced Splash & Noise — Directs rainwater downward to minimise splashback.
Simplified Maintenance — Minimal upkeep; just keep the base outlet clear.
Enhanced Customisation — Offered as an optional upgrade for site-specific conditions.
Whether installed on a raised deck, tiled patio, or freestanding platform, this discreet drainage option delivers visual harmony and long-term practicality — another example of Apollo NZ’s commitment to NZ-ready design innovation.
Kitset Sizes with Custom Flexibility
The Cerberus Standard and Cerberus Plus systems both come in standard sizes, ideal for fast installation and consistent structural performance.
However, the Plus model stands apart with the ability to be made to measure, giving you flexibility when your space doesn’t fit a fixed module.
Height options: Default height 2.5 m, adjustable up to 2.6 m or down to 2.4 m to meet site needs.
Post spacing: Maximum post width 4 m for optimal strength and stability.
Standard-size surcharge: A small surcharge applies if modifications are made to standard kits.
This adaptability delivers a custom-built appearance while retaining the simplicity and affordability of a kitset pergola.
