When the tornado swept through parts of Mangawhai in January 2025, it left a trail of destruction in its path – including significant damage to many homes and the loss of roofing.
For one homeowner, shaken by the damage to part of their roof, had a brighter moment when they discovered their Fresco Shade canopy remained completely untouched. Despite the intensity of the storm, the structure stood strong.
