Description
Fixed Outdoor Roof with Natural Light
The Cerberus Sky Polycarbonate Roof System is a fixed outdoor roof designed to provide reliable weather protection while still allowing natural daylight into the space.
Built on the proven Cerberus aluminium frame platform from Apollo NZ, this system offers a practical alternative to motorised louvre roofs for homeowners who want a bright and comfortable covered outdoor area.
Instead of adjustable blades, Cerberus Sky uses 5 mm polycarbonate roofing panels, creating a durable roof that protects outdoor spaces from rain while maintaining a light and open feel.
Cerberus Sky is well suited for:
• Patios
• Decks
• Spa areas
• Outdoor dining spaces
• Garden entertainment zones
It is designed for areas where permanent cover is preferred over adjustable shade.

Polycarbonate Roof Design
The 5 mm polycarbonate roof panels allow natural daylight to pass through while still protecting the area from rain and weather.
Polycarbonate roofing provides several advantages:
• Lightweight but durable material
• Excellent natural light transmission
• Weather resistant performance
• Long lifespan outdoors
• Lower overall system cost compared with louvre roofs
Polycarbonate roofing may be available in several options:
• Opal – diffused light and reduced glare
• Tinted – darker shade and reduced brightness
• Clear – maximum natural light
Compatible Add-Ons
Cerberus Sky can be paired with a range of accessories to improve comfort and usability.
Optional additions include:
• Track Blinds for wind and sun protection
• LED lighting integrated into the frame
• Sliding glass doors or side panels
These options allow the system to adapt to a wide variety of outdoor living layouts.

Where Cerberus Sky Works Best
Cerberus Sky is designed for outdoor spaces where natural light and reliable weather protection are both important.
Common applications include:
• Outdoor dining areas
• Deck covers
• Spa and hot tub covers
• BBQ areas
• Poolside seating areas
• Patio entertainment zones
Because the roof is fixed, the structure provides consistent rain protection while maintaining a bright outdoor environment.
A Practical Alternative to Louvre Roof Systems
While adjustable louvre systems provide flexible shade control, many homeowners prefer a simpler permanent roof solution.
Cerberus Sky offers several practical advantages:
• Simpler structure with fewer moving parts
• Faster installation
• Reliable rain protection
• Bright covered outdoor space
This makes Cerberus Sky a strong option for customers who want the durability and modern look of an aluminium outdoor structure without the complexity of adjustable roofing systems.
