🌾 Taylor & Stirling at Agfest 2026 — Outdoor Living on Show
Agfest 2026 delivered another huge turnout, and it was fantastic to meet so many homeowners, builders, and outdoor‑living enthusiasts across Tasmania. This year we showcased a full suite of our premium outdoor systems — and the response was incredible.
Despite a few freight hiccups (more on that below), the stand was buzzing from day one.
⭐ What We Brought to Agfest
✔ Louvred Roof System
Our fully motorised louvred roof was one of the biggest drawcards. Visitors loved seeing how the blades rotate to control sun, shade, airflow, and rain protection — perfect for Tasmanian weather that changes every ten minutes.
✔ Retractable Roof System
The retractable PVC roof system was another standout. People were surprised by how quietly and smoothly the fabric tension system operates, and how well it handles rain and wind. It’s a favourite for cafés, restaurants, and alfresco areas.
✔ Folding Roof System
This one turned heads. The folding roof system — ideal for skylights, conservatories, and sunrooms — showed visitors how you can control heat and glare without losing natural light. A lot of people didn’t even know this technology existed.
✔ Our New Hot Tubs
Our new outdoor hot tubs made their Agfest debut and were a massive hit. The timber finish, ergonomic seating, and premium heating systems had people lining up to jump in (figuratively, not literally).
These will be a huge category for 2026.
❗ What Didn’t Arrive in Time — Our Saunas & Ice Baths
Unfortunately, our new saunas & Ice Baths didn’t make it to the event due to a late freight delay. They were on the truck… just not our truck.
But the interest was still huge, and we spent a lot of time talking through:
- Barrel saunas
- Large Window Sauna’s
- Wood‑fired and electric heater options
The good news, They will be available at our Huonville Store next month
💬 What People Asked Us Most
Across the three days, the most common questions were:
- “Can I enclose my alfresco area?”
- “What’s the difference between a louvred roof and a retractable roof?”
- “Can you add glass walls or ZIP screens?”
- “Do you install in coastal areas?”
- “Can I add a folding roof to my sunroom or skylight?”
- “When can I get one of those hot tubs?”
Agfest always gives us a great read on what Tasmanians are planning for their homes — and 2026 is shaping up to be the year of outdoor rooms, all‑weather living, and wellness spaces.
