As 200km/h winds lash parts of New Zealand, including areas close to home here in Hawke’s Bay, many property owners are facing a harsh reality: poorly built outdoor structures just don’t stand up to extreme weather.
At Total Property, we specialise in smart, durable outdoor reno solutions designed to handle New Zealand’s unique conditions — from sudden gales to soaking rains.
What This Weather Event Is Teaching Us
With the South Island and parts of the North experiencing power outages, fallen trees, and widespread damage, this storm is a reminder that your outdoor space needs to be more than beautiful — it needs to be resilient.
Poorly secured pergolas, dated fencing, and worn-out decking aren’t just an eyesore — they can quickly become a safety hazard in extreme weather.
The Importance of a Weather-Resistant Outdoor Reno
Whether you own a residential or rental property, an outdoor renovation should be:
- Structurally sound: Built with wind-rated materials and secure fixings.
- Low-maintenance: Designed for easy drainage and minimal water damage.
- Built to last: With treated timber, composite decking, and weather-proof fencing.
With summer approaching and more wild weather on the cards, now is the time to invest in upgrades that protect your asset and add value.
Planning Ahead: Beat the Rush
After big weather events, there’s often a surge in demand for repairs and upgrades. By planning your outdoor reno now, you’ll:
- Avoid the pre-summer bottleneck
- Have time for proper design and compliance
- Be ready to enjoy your space safely this summer
