Most outdoor modulars feel rigid. This one is designed to adapt. Whether styled as a deep-seat armless chair or integrated into a larger Sunbird sectional, the Centre Sofa brings true indoor-level comfort into open-air living.
Why You’ll Love It
-
The 12cm Single-Plush Standard While most modular components rely on thin 6–8cm padding, Sunbird features a full 12cm high-rebound cushion—leaving behind the typical “hard bench” feel of outdoor seating. It’s a comfort standard made for longer stays, not quick sits.
-
Modular Freedom: Build Without Limits At 77cm wide, the armless form unlocks complete flexibility. Use it to extend a 3-seater into a 4-seater, or combine with corner units to form expansive U-shaped layouts. It’s a clean, architectural module designed to evolve with your space.
-
Solution-Dyed Olefin (Built for the NZ Sun) Standard outdoor fabrics fade fast under harsh UV. Our Solution-Dyed Olefin is pigmented to the fiber core—delivering inherent resistance to fading, moisture, and wear. Charcoal stays charcoal, season after season.
-
Marine-Grade, Rust-Proof Frame Crafted from heavy-duty, powder-coated aluminium, the frame is immune to rust and built to withstand coastal conditions. It is structurally solid for the long-term, yet manageable enough to reconfigure as your lifestyle changes.
-
The 10-Year Structural Promise Designed for permanent outdoor living, not seasonal use. Backed by a 10-year structural warranty, the Sunbird is a lasting investment in comfort and flexibility.
A true outdoor modular—built for comfort, made to last.

Installation Step-by-Step Instructions:
-
Preliminary Positioning: Insert all screws into their respective holes. Hand-tighten each until snug tight (finger tight). The bracket must remain loose and adjustable.
-
Alignment & Adjustment: With all screws loose, adjust the entire bracket to its correct position. Ensure it is level, plumb, and perfectly aligned.
-
Final Torquing: Once fully aligned, proceed to fully tighten all screws uniformly and securely following the manufacturer's specifications.
-
Exception Handling (Critical): If any screw exhibits high resistance or binds during installation:
-
STOP. Do not force it.
-
Back out the screw completely.
-
Inspect the screw and threaded hole for damage or debris.
-
Re-align the screw and attempt to restart it by hand.
-
If resistance persists, replace the screw to isolate the fault.
-
Key Warning: Never cross-thread or force a screw, as this will damage the threads.
