Durable. Elegant. Exceptional Value.
The Cerberus Standard Louvre System from Apollo NZ delivers a rare balance of durability, clean architectural design, and outstanding value—without compromising on structural integrity.
Designed for residential, hospitality, and commercial applications, Cerberus Standard is a smart, cost-effective outdoor roofing solution engineered specifically for New Zealand conditions.
Both the Manual and Motorised Systems come standard with Surround LED lights.
Engineered to Last
Premium Build Without the Premium Price Tag
Unlike many entry-level pergola systems, the Cerberus Standard is built using robust structural aluminium and integrated drainage—features usually reserved for higher-priced systems.
This makes it an ideal solution for patios, cafés, courtyards, hospitality venues, and commercial outdoor areas where reliability and value matter.

Manual or Motorised Louvre Roof Options
Cerberus Plus is available with two louvre operation options, allowing you to balance budget, convenience.
A simple, durable solution using a hand-operated mechanism.
• Cost-effective
• Reliable mechanical operation
• Ideal for residential and low-use spaces
• No electrical requirements
• Lower upfront installation complexity
Manual systems remain popular for homeowners wanting straightforward weather control without wiring or smart integration. For many backyard applications, this delivers dependable performance with minimal setup.
Motorised Louvre Operation
Designed for frequent use, precision control, and smart outdoor living.
• Remote-controlled operation
• Smooth, consistent blade positioning
• Effortless adjustment in changing weather
• Compatible with smart sensors and automation
• Ideal for hospitality and commercial environments
• Future-ready platform for smart outdoor spaces
Motorisation becomes especially valuable where the roof is adjusted regularly, where access is difficult, or where the outdoor area forms part of a commercial offering.
Why Motorised Options Matter in a Kitset System
One of the quiet limitations in the kitset pergola market is that many entry-level systems are manual only. While manual operation works, it can restrict how the space is actually used over time.
Having a factory-engineered motorised option built into the same platform is important because it provides:
• Future flexibility — start manual and upgrade later (in many cases)
• Higher usability — especially for larger roof spans
• Better weather responsiveness — quick adjustment during wind or rain
• Improved property appeal — motorised systems are increasingly expected in modern outdoor builds
• Commercial readiness — essential for cafés, bars, and hospitality venues
In practical terms, outdoor spaces are becoming more dynamic. A roof that is difficult to adjust often ends up being left in one position — which defeats the purpose of an adjustable louvre system.
Tuya Smart Integration Capability
The Cerberus Plus motorised option can be paired with Tuya Smart control, bringing the system into the modern smart-home ecosystem.
With Tuya integration, users can:
• Control louvres via smartphone app
• Integrate with rain and wind sensors
• Set automation schedules
• Connect with broader smart home environments
• Enable remote access when away from home
This level of control is typically associated with high-end custom systems, but is now increasingly expected even in well-engineered kitset platforms.
