At Moa Mansions, we believe your tiny home should adapt to your lifestyle—not the other way around. That’s why every one of our NZ3604-compliant kitset and on-wheels builds can be tailored with a suite of optional add-ons. Whether you’re seeking sun-soaked outdoor living, extra storage, or shelter for vehicles and gear, our West Coast and Christchurch teams have you covered.
Timber Decks: Extend Your Living Space
A thoughtfully designed deck is the perfect bridge between your cosy interior and Aotearoa’s stunning outdoors. Our decks:
Seamless Transitions: Flush thresholds for easy flow from lounge to deck.
Durable Materials: Locally sourced hardwood or engineered timber that weathers beautifully.
Custom Sizes: From intimate 2 × 3 m breakfast nooks to expansive entertaining platforms.
Gain extra square metres for morning coffee, summer barbeques, or just soaking up that West Coast breeze.

Pergolas: Shade, Style, & Shelter
Pergolas add architectural flair while keeping you cool and protected. With Moa Mansions’ pergola options, you’ll enjoy:
Built-in Shading: Slatted canopies or retractable canvas to suit sun-angle and privacy needs.
Cladding Harmony: Match your home’s corrugated shadowclad or select contrasting finishes for visual impact.
Integrated Lighting & Greenery: Pre-wired for festoon lights, with post-mounted planter boxes to create a lush vibe.
A pergola transforms your deck or entryway into an all-weather haven.
Verandahs & Covered Walkways
Perfect for our famously wet weather, verandahs keep you dry from door to driveway. Key benefits include:
Weather Protection: Stay sheltered while unloading groceries or moving between modules.
Architectural Cohesion: Options for pitched or lean-to roofs that complement your home’s roof pitch.
Easy Maintenance: Powder-coated steel framing and Colorsteel roofing for decades of performance.
A verandah not only adds functionality but also boosts your home’s street appeal.

Pole Sheds & Carports: Secure Storage Solutions
Whether you need space for a boat, bikes, or workshop tools, our pole-shed and carport options offer:
Robust Foundations: Engineered footings and timber poles suited to coastal, rural, or sloping sites.
Flexible Layouts: Single or double-bay designs, with optional roller doors or open fronts.
Accessory Integration: Add workbenches, shelving, or EV-charger hookups to suit your needs.
Protect your gear from the elements without sacrificing easy access.
Beyond the Basics: Interior & Exterior Extras
Moa Mansions’ custom add-ons go far beyond shelters and shade. Consider enhancing your build with:
Interior Fit-Outs: Built-in wardrobes, floating shelves, or bespoke kitchen cabinetry.
Exterior Cladding Upgrades: Vertical shiplap, cedar rainscreen, or color-matched fascias.
Solar & Rainwater Harvesting: Panels, batteries, and tank systems pre-plumbed and ready to connect.
Every element is designed for seamless installation alongside your main build.
