Patios | Outdoor roofing solutions

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.  

Both pergolas and patios are designed to provide an outdoor area with additional space for entertaining, storage and general function.

Pergolas differ from patios as they traditionally do not provide non-pervious protection from the sun and rain. As a result, they often do not include gutters and downpipes.

Detailed information on the differences can be found here. 

Alfresco areas are usually built as an extension of the house with a seamless appearance of being part of the original roof structure.

Whereas patios are additional structures attached to the existing building without changing the original roof design. However, both a patio and alfresco refer to an outdoor living space for entertainment and recreational purposes. 

There are many types of roofing materials to choose from when designing your outdoor roof. Options include steel, aluminium, timber, bamboo and woven materials. Some offer excellent value, look great and will last a lifetime, others should be avoided.

Our team have been helping clients choose the best materials for more than 50 years. In that time we’ve learned what materials work best and provide years of hassle-free enjoyment.

• Size
• Design complexity
• Materials chosen

The usual time frame from start to finish ranges from one day to several weeks. The length of time depends on the layout and complexity of the design as well as any additional features.

Other factors to consider that may change the time necessary to complete the patio include material choice and availability, weather conditions, additions or upgrades, and any obstacles that may or may not come up.
