Provenance

HistoryDwights Outdoors has been a family owned business in Upper Hutt since 1979. Their Upper Hutt site at 804 Fergusson Drive has been their home for over 40 years.

At the very beginning, Dwights Canvas workshop produced a small range of products and contract manufactured for a number of large local companies such as GM Holden. Dwights repaired or crafted replacement products for a whole range of canvas and outdoor products.

As times have changed, their business has evolved and expanded into new categories over the years, and they're now well known for Alu-Lite canopies, Awnings, and Outdoor Blinds.

Dwights caters to commercial and residential markets as well as kindergartens and pre-schools. The Upper Hutt workshop is one of the largest canvas workshops in the lower North Island.
