Some spaces are built for summer. The best ones are designed for every season.

From warm winter evenings by the fire to long summer afternoons beneath an opening Louvretec roof, every detail of this outdoor living space was thoughtfully designed to become a true extension of the home.

With integrated LED lighting, a custom outdoor fireplace and a premium Louvretec Opening Roofs & Sun Louvres opening roof, this project is all about creating an outdoor space that's as comfortable and inviting as the one inside.

If you've been thinking about transforming your own outdoor living, now is the perfect time.

After a personal consultation? You're always welcome to visit our showroom to experience these products firsthand. We also offer private showroom appointments outside normal business hours, making it easy to explore your options at a time that suits you.

We'd love to help create an outdoor space you'll be proud to come home to.

From morning coffee on the patio to getting the campervan road-trip ready, this property is now set up for the lifestyle its owners love.

When we first shared this project, one custom glazed roof had just been completed. Now the vision is complete, with a second glazed roof creating a dedicated shelter for the motorhome too.

Every Douglas project is designed around the people who use it. Sometimes that's creating a beautiful outdoor entertaining space. Sometimes it's protecting the things that help you make memories. Often, it's both.

Built to suit the home, the site and the way these clients live, these custom glazed roofs bring year-round protection without compromising on light or style.

No kitsets. No compromises. Just thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a solution that's made to fit.

Thinking about making better use of your place? We'd love to help.

This Friday our showroom & office will be closed - for a pretty cool reason!

We do apologise for the inconvenience if you were hoping to call or stop by that day. But we hope you'll understand...

This year we've created an opportunity for our team to join us for a tree planting day at co-owners Pete & Suzanne's farm in CHB.

Last year they won Farm Forester of the Year for this type of sustainable farming initiative, and our team are stoked to be involved in getting more trees in the ground and making a difference in our back yard.

We'll be back on deck from next week, Monday-Friday as usual, and look forward to seeing you then.

Pics to follow! 🌿

🎭 Do you hear the people sing?

We're proud to be sponsoring the Waipawa Musical & Dramatic Club production of Les Misérables this year - and even prouder that our own Suzanne Hoyt is part of the cast!

While Suzanne takes to the stage, our contribution is happening behind the scenes, helping bring the production to life through wardrobe, wigs and makeup.

Community theatre takes an incredible amount of talent, time and teamwork, and we're thrilled to play a small part in helping bring such an iconic musical to Central Hawke's Bay. Supporting local arts helps keep our communities vibrant, creative and connected.

If you've been thinking about going, don't leave it too long – tickets are selling fast!

Break a leg, Suzanne, and the entire Waipawa M&D team. We can't wait to see the show.

We’re incredibly proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters 💙

Right now, 68 young people are being supported through life-changing mentoring relationships - but 45 are still waiting for someone to show up for them.

Mentoring has a powerful ripple effect, impacting not just the young person, but their whānau and the mentors too.

If you’ve ever thought about giving back, this is your sign. One connection can change everything.

👉 Get involved and make a difference.

A huge shout-out to Douglas - Outdoor & Textile Innovation for being a valued match sponsor with Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawke’s Bay!

They proudly sponsor Simon and Ollie, who have now been matched for two years and continue to build a strong, whānau-like connection. 💜

Over time they’ve really settled into their match, and their similar quiet, calm personalities make spending time together feel easy and natural. They enjoy having BBQ's with Simon’s whānau, spending time with his dogs, and baking. 😀

We truly couldn’t do what we do without our generous sponsors and amazing mentors, so a big thank you all round for helping make these life-changing relationships possible. 💜

If you or your business would like to become a sponsor, or if you’re interested in becoming a mentor, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch and be part of something that really makes a difference in our community. ✨

Sometimes, the smallest investment in someone's future can make the biggest difference.

For the past three years, we've been proud to support Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawke's Bay as a Match Sponsor, helping one young person and their volunteer mentor build a positive, long-term mentoring relationship.

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming our own BBBS match to Douglas for an afternoon. It was fantastic to spend some time together, show them around our showroom and workshop, share a few stories about the fun we get up to every day, and enjoy an afternoon tea with the team.

We hope visits like this may help young people see the wide variety of opportunities that exist beyond the classroom, while also giving us the chance to shout about the incredible work Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawke's Bay does, and involve our team through direct connection to the kaupapa.

The dedication of volunteer mentors who generously give their time, encouragement and friendship has a lasting impact during some of the most influential years of a young person's life, and we're proud to play a small part by supporting one mentoring match each year.

A huge thank you to our visitors for spending the afternoon with us - we loved having you!

If you've ever thought about becoming a mentor, we'd encourage you to learn more about the amazing work Big Brothers Big Sisters Hawke's Bay does.
