Description
The Cerberus Steel Louvre System is a standalone, manual-operation steel pergola designed specifically for New Zealand and Pacific outdoor environments. Built from high-strength ZAM-coated galvanised steel, this system delivers excellent corrosion resistance, long service life, and reliable everyday performance — even in coastal, high-moisture, and high-UV locations.
With clean architectural lines, smooth manual louvre control, and a modern PC Grey (RAL 7016) powder-coated finish, the Cerberus Steel Louvre System offers a cost-effective and practical shading solution for homes, rental properties, cafés, bars, and light commercial spaces.

What Is ZAM-Coated Galvanised Steel?
The Cerberus Steel Louvre System is manufactured using ZAM-coated galvanised steel, one of the most advanced corrosion-resistant steel technologies available.
ZAM = Zinc + Aluminium + Magnesium
This hot-dip coating forms a dense, protective layer that actively resists corrosion and helps protect the steel substrate over long periods of outdoor exposure.
Why ZAM Steel Is Ideal for NZ & Pacific Climates
Superior Corrosion Resistance
ZAM significantly outperforms standard galvanised steel, making it well suited to coastal towns, islands, and humid regions.
Self-Healing Protection
Magnesium content enables the coating to seal minor scratches, preventing rust from spreading.
Excellent Salt-Air Performance
Ideal for beachside properties and exposed environments where corrosion is a major concern.
Extended Lifespan
The ZAM layer protects the steel even before powder coating, adding an extra level of long-term durability.
Strong Structural Stability
Maintains structural integrity under wind, sun, and moisture stress over many years of use.
When combined with a high-quality exterior powder-coated finish, the Cerberus Steel Louvre System becomes one of the most durable entry-level steel pergolas in its category.
