Why Canvasland
The CanopyTech acrylic sheet roof is a rigid panel roof on a proprietary New Zealand aluminium frame — available flat, gable or curved, in clear or tinted panels, with a full spectrum of Dulux powder-coat colours for the frame. It blocks 99% of UV and cuts heat gain by around 30%, so the space underneath stays bright without turning into a hot box. CanopyTech supplies the system; Canvasland designs and installs it as one accountable team.
Real weather protection
99% UV blockage and roughly 30% heat reduction — not just shade, a proper roof.
Built to spec, not off-the-shelf
Flat, gable or curved, clear or tinted, sized from 6m² to 60m², engineered for the site.
One team, one quote
Canvasland handles design and install locally, backed by a 10-year warranty.
Panels are 4.5mm acrylic flat sheet, available in clear, grey-tinted, bronze-tinted or opal — impact-resistant and won't crack, yellow or degrade the way cheaper roofing can. The frame is a proprietary 6060 T6 aluminium extrusion, around 50% stronger than standard joinery aluminium, finished in your choice of Dulux powder coat.

Frequently asked questions
What are the panels made of?
4.5mm acrylic flat sheet, available in clear, grey-tinted, bronze-tinted or opal.
Is the frame steel or aluminium?
Aluminium — a proprietary 6060 T6 extrusion, around 50% stronger than standard joinery aluminium, finished in your choice of Dulux powder coat.
What stops it leaking after a few years?
Automotive-grade EPDM rubber seals and stainless steel fasteners throughout — the details that decide whether a roof like this leaks by year eight.
How much UV and heat does it block?
99% UV blockage and around 30% heat reduction, so the space stays bright without cooking in summer.
Can I close in the sides?
Yes — pair it with Ziptrak® blinds for wind, rain and privacy.
Do you make it, or just install?
CanopyTech supplies the system; Canvasland designs and installs it, and handles the whole project locally.
How much does it cost?
Prices start from $7,958 including GST, depending on size (roofs run from 6m² to 60m²) and shape. Your free design visit ends with a fixed-price proposal.
Will it need council consent?
Depends on size and site — we'll advise and provide specs for engineering/consent where required.
Is this the same as your tension canopy?
No — this is a rigid acrylic sheet roof. For larger spans like school playgrounds, our separate CanopyTech tension canopy uses an aluminium arch frame with a Ferrari PVC membrane instead.
