A cover can look simple.

But getting the fit right is where a lot of the work happens.

Every shape, corner, fixing point and tension area needs to be considered so the finished piece does what it's actually supposed to do.

That's why we pattern and make our covers specifically for the item they're protecting, rather than trying to make one design fit everything.

Good fit = better function.

Not everything we make has a standard size.

This canvas ute camper was made specifically for the vehicle and the way it needed to be used.

That's one of the things we enjoy about custom work. You bring us the problem, the idea or the slightly unusual request, and we work out how to make it happen.

A pool cover doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to fit properly, do its job and stand up to being used outdoors.

This one was made to suit the space, giving the pool some protection when it's not in use.

Another custom job out of the Motueka workshop.

Not every canvas job is something you see every day. 👀

This custom stone guard was made to help protect a car being towed behind a caravan, giving the front of the vehicle some extra protection from stones, road spray and whatever else the road decides to throw at it.

It’s another example of the kind of practical, custom projects we make here in the Motueka workshop.

The warmer months will be here before we know it. ☀️

If there’s an outdoor project you’ve been meaning to get sorted, now’s a good time to start thinking about it.

From shade and outdoor screens to marine canvas, awnings and custom covers, we make things to suit the space and the way you’ll use them.

No rush. Just good to have a plan. 😉

A first for Lana. 👏

After learning her way around the workshop, Lana headed out with Emma to help with an installation.

There’s only so much you can learn from a workbench. Getting out on site, seeing how everything comes together and helping with the final fit is all part of the learning.

Emma's got plenty of experience to share, and Lana's getting stuck in.

Another step in the apprenticeship. 🧵

These might be our best marine squabs yet. 👀

We’ll be honest, this set turned out pretty special.

Made with a beautiful James Dunlop fabric, these marine squabs have the kind of texture and detail that’s hard to capture in a photo. But the good looks are only part of it.

Every set starts with a pattern made specifically for the boat, with careful attention to the fit, fabric and finish. It’s a slower process, but it makes all the difference once the cushions are back on deck.

We’ve put together a little behind-the-scenes look at what goes into making custom marine squabs, why fabric choice matters and how we build them to handle life on the water.

We love hearing how our work becomes part of everyday life.

This customer’s Omega retractable awning, complete with rain sensors, and retractable wind and sun blinds have helped create comfortable, all-weather spaces for the whole family.
