Urban Effects’ street and park furniture has an eco-friendly quality that you can see, touch and feel.

While the majority of our products are manufactured right here in NZ from locally sourced materials, we’re also a proud exclusive distributor of a select range of products from global leaders in sustainable furniture design and production like Metalco.

This is super-stylish street furniture that’s got serious street cred AND eco cred. From seats and benches, bike racks to planters, Metalco products are sustainably made from a mix of materials ranging from timber to recycled concrete.

Create year-round community spaces with permanent shelters

In high-use spaces, durability and functionality are essential – factors that inspire our range of shelters. Whether it's a local park, school, or public area, outdoor shelters provide a comfortable space where people can gather, no matter the weather. From protecting against rain in winter to providing protection from harsh UV rays in summer, our permanent shelters ensure that outdoor areas are usable all year round.

Our shelters are made from high-quality materials, ensuring longevity even in harsh weather conditions and come in an unmatched variety of styles. What's more, they can be fully customised to fit the unique character of your space!

Customisation options include:

Tailored Designs: Whether you want a sleek, modern look or something more traditional, we can adapt our shelters to match the surrounding environment.

Custom Colours & Finishes: Ensure your shelter blends in seamlessly or stands out with vibrant colours that reflect your community’s personality.

Additional Features: Need integrated seating, lighting, or accessibility features? We’ve got you covered, with many options on offer that make your space more functional and inclusive.

Timber vs. Aluminium: What gets hotter in the summer? 🔥

When it comes to comfortable seating in parks and public spaces, we often get asked: aluminium or timber?

Aluminium is known for its durability and low maintenance, while timber provides a natural look and feel. However, the answer to which material gets hotter in the sun may surprise you.

Our long-standing partners GX Outdoors - formerly Grillex recently tested four materials - anodised aluminium, powder-coated aluminium, TimberImage™ aluminium, and hardwood oiled timber - under direct sunlight. What they found is that while timber reached higher temperatures, it wasn’t necessarily hotter to touch compared to aluminium.

Ultimately, both materials can create inviting public spaces, but placing seating in shaded areas maximises comfort regardless of the weather.

Timber or aluminium - the choice is yours! Our extensive range of seating includes both timber and aluminium finishes, with the option to switch timber for TimberImage™ which combines the look of timber with the benefits of aluminium.
