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, and damage to the home’s roofing, the shade structure stood strong.
What makes Fresco Shade canopies wind-resistant?
This outcome is a testament to the strength, durability and quality installation that is found in every Fresco Shade canopy. The frame is structural grade galvanised New Zealand steel, and every canopy is designed to be robust with structural support and installation ensuing it is built to building code. The combination of the steel structure and the tensioned architectural grade PVC roofing ensures enduring stability.
