Custom metal fabrication for the ideas that don’t come in a box.
Balustrades, stairs, planters, furniture and one-off architectural pieces. Designed, cut, welded and finished in our Tauranga workshop.
If you can imagine it, we can build it.
Not every outdoor project fits a standard product. Sometimes a home needs a balustrade that follows a curved deck, a set of aluminium stairs down to the garden, an oversized planter, a bespoke fire pit or a structural beam to open up a living space. That is where our custom fabrication service comes in. At Matrix Outdoor Solutions we cut, weld, form and finish aluminium in our own Tauranga workshop, for homeowners, architects and builders across the Bay of Plenty.
Our fabricators are the same team that produces our pergolas, louvre roofs, gates and carports, so you get the same attention to detail, the same quality of finish and the same reliable communication on a one-off job as you would on a full outdoor living project.
What we make
Residential work includes balustrades and handrails, stairs and landings, letterboxes, planters, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pool fencing and architectural feature panels. For commercial and rural clients we fabricate signage frames, shelters, racking, brackets and general engineering components. If it is metal and it needs to be made well, we can help.
Design and drawings
Bring us a sketch, a photo or an architect’s plan. We can work from your drawings or produce our own, including 3D models so you can see exactly what you will get before we cut a single piece. Where structural engineering is required we coordinate with engineers and provide the documentation your builder or council needs.
Materials and finishes
We work exclusively in marine-grade aluminium. Finishes include powder-coating in any colour, or brushed and clear-coated aluminium for a more industrial look. Every finish is selected for the environment it will live in, so coastal installations get the corrosion protection they need.
Working with builders and architects
We regularly partner with local builders, landscapers and architects, fabricating to specification and coordinating our installation with the wider build programme. Site measures, shop drawings and clear timelines keep everything on track.
Whatever you have in mind, the process starts with a conversation. Send us your ideas or book a free consultation and we will tell you what is possible, how it could be made and what it will cost.

So.... We got 4 quotes for our outdoor area. Only 2 companies could offer us what we wanted due to the custom fitment and design requirements. We choose Matrix for several reasons, Excellent communication, Prompt timing on meetings, Professional approach and hard case English accents. Mike and Rik are as genuine as it comes. They showed up when they said they would and delivered exactly what they said they would. Their communication professionalism and advice along the way was what we would have expected for a project like this. (It was a big spend for us) The finished detail is on point. I have worked in the building industry for over 15 years in architectural design and builds. So I was happy to see we got the same level of detail here on. our own job. Before our project I had never heard of these guys. Some weird Facebook algorithm lead me to their site. (love some Facebook marketing...) We are in Te Kowhai/Hamilton area and they came from Tauranga. Cool story huh.... Cheers guys.Posted on Google![]()

Mike and the team at Matrix did an incredible job for us. They made contact quickly, were really clear and articulate around the options and their recommendations and continued right through the quoting, build and delivery. The outcome itself was exceptional and at a very fair price. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for this kind of product. Thanks again Mike and team.Posted on Google![]()
