Pergolas & Patios

Pergolas & Patios

Bespoke & custom designs

We design and build pergolas and patios across Sydney’s Hills District, Hawkesbury and North Shore — from Dural and Galston through to Hornsby, Wahroonga and Pymble.

Every pergola we build is custom-designed for your home and how you actually want to use the space. Framing is Australian-made aluminium, powder-coated to last. Roofs are supplied by trusted manufacturers — Versiclad and Stratco — and the whole space can be customised with lighting, heating, cooling, blinds, outdoor kitchens, BBQs and a TV.

Many projects need council approval — we handle that for you through our approvals specialist.

Roof types

The roof is the decision that shapes everything else — how much light gets through, how the space feels in a Sydney summer, and how far it can span without a post in the middle of your entertaining area.

Insulated pergola over an outdoor entertaining area

Insulated

Versiclad Spacemaker · 75mm core

Versiclad Spacemaker panels with a 75mm insulated core, in 1m-wide sheets for a smooth, ceiling-like finish. The insulation reduces condensation and rain noise and keeps the space comfortable year-round.

Built to a minimum 1° fall, with LED downlights, fans and heaters available.

  • 75mm insulated core
  • 1m-wide sheets
  • Large spans
  • Min. 1° fall
  • Quietest in rain
Gabled polycarbonate roof on exposed beams, filtering daylight through translucent panels with no visible fixings

Polycarbonate

Triple-layer · 10/600 sheets

Triple-layer 10mm panels, 600mm wide, with 99.9% UV protection. They filter natural light beautifully and can be built sloping or gabled — with no visible fixings.

  • 10mm triple-layer
  • 600mm panels
  • 99.9% UV protection
  • No visible fixings
Combination pergola over a poolside deck

Combination

Insulated flats · polycarbonate gable

Insulated flats paired with a polycarbonate gable — the best of both. Large spans, insulation where you want shade and comfort, light and airflow where you want height and brightness.

  • Large spans
  • Shade + natural light
  • Open gable height

Compare

The short version, side by side. We'll walk through it properly on site — but this is the trade-off most people are weighing up.

Fit-out

A pergola only becomes a room you actually live in once it's fitted out. We specify and install the electrical work as part of the build, so there's no second trade to organise and no surface-mounted conduit running across your new ceiling.

Concealed downlights

Outdoor-graded LED downlights and stainless-steel spotlights, both dimmable, run through the pergola framing so the wiring stays completely hidden.

Outdoor ceiling fans

High-quality 3-blade outdoor-rated fans on a 3-speed wall switch, in a range of colours and finishes — built to move air through an open space, and to handle the weather.

Strip heating

Overhead strip heaters extend the season at the other end of the year, so the space works through winter as well as summer.

Power & TV outlets

Outdoor power points, TV outlets and range hoods where you want them — the difference between a covered area and a proper outdoor kitchen.
