Patios allow you to unwind and enjoy the outdoors in the comfort of your backyard. The simple pleasure of sitting back with a cup of coffee or enjoying lunch or dinner with friends or family is more enjoyable. For added luxury and comfort, you could include extra lounge chairs, other furniture and decorations to enhance your relaxation experience.
If you ever decide to sell your house, having an existing outdoor patio can increase the value of the property. When people are searching for their next home, the existence of an outdoor area can really be a deciding factor. Additionally, the increase in value of your property can cover the initial costs of building a patio with plenty to spare.
Expanding your home with an outdoor patio can double down as extra storage space to help declutter areas inside the house. Such as having an outdoor kitchen or dining area could halve the storage spaces being used up inside the house.
Between matching your home's style and navigating council approvals, adding a patio to your property can feel complicated. Our process is designed to handle everything so you can focus on the finished result.
A patio is an outdoor living space with non-pervious roofing that provides protection from the elements. They can be attached or freestanding, and usually include gutters and downpipes to manage rainfall. Often used for entertaining, they provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing outdoor space.
The key difference is weather protection. A patio has a solid, non-pervious roof that keeps out rain and sun. A pergola traditionally uses an open or semi-open structure, which means less protection from the elements and no need for gutters or downpipes. If year-round usability matters to you, a patio is generally the better choice. Detailed information on the differences can be found here.
An alfresco is typically built as part of the original home, integrated into the roof line and appearing seamless with the main structure. A patio is an addition to an existing home, attached to the building without altering the original roofline. Both serve the same purpose as outdoor living and entertaining spaces.
Depending on the style you choose, our patios are built using insulated roofing panels, steel roofing, structural posts, and can have translucent inserts to bring in natural light. All materials are Australian-made and selected for performance in local conditions.
