Our Range of Different Patio Styles & Options
As well as full customisation, we offer a range of different patio styles, each of which is better suited for different aesthetics and practicality.
Flat Roof Patios
A flat roof patio is an ideal choice if you're looking to seamlessly blend your indoor and outdoor space while retaining a modern look. You're also offered protection from sun and rain, and the minimalist design allows air to flow freely through the space, helping to keep you cool on a hot day while simultaneously providing shade.
Skillion Roof Patios
The single-sloped roof design of skillion roof patios offers both style and practicality, making it possible to create shade while ensuring any rain drains away efficiently. This style of patio is also a great choice if you want to add some architectural interest to your outdoor space, and they make excellent focal points.
Gable Roof Patios
Another good choice if you're looking to mix practicality with style, gable roof patios offer excellent protection from the elements and ensure efficient rainwater drainage. They also have a traditional, triangular design that makes it possible to add classic charm and sophistication to your outdoor space.
Patio Kits
Our patio kits are designed for those who like to get stuck in and take a project on by themselves or who want to save money on building costs. As with all our patios, everything is customised with our patio kits, so you're still able to add your personal style to the build.
FAQs
Planning permission in Melbourne is a little difficult to navigate, and with patios you may need council permits and approval unless you meet certain criteria. This is something we'll be able to help you figure out.
As our patios are custom designed, the total cost of building a patio will depend on the size, materials, and optional extras you've chosen. To get a better idea of costs, contact us today for a quote.
