Sunshine and outdoor living are a huge part of the Brisbane lifestyle, and a great patio is absolutely essential for anyone living in this vibrant city. From leisurely gatherings with family and friends to serene moments of solitude, your patio acts as an outdoor retreat that also blends seamlessly into your surroundings.
At Fair Dinkum Builds, we know how important outdoor patios are to achieve these moments, and that's why we design and create patios that don't only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property but make it possible to extend your living space beyond the main house.
Customise Your Patio
We also understand that your patio should be a reflection of your personality and match your outdoor design theme to create your perfect outdoor space. That's why we offer customisation on every aspect of your patio build.
You'll be able to choose your patio's profile, colour, size, and roof pitch, along with optional extras, to build the patio of your dreams. Our patios also come with a 30-year system warranty and ShedSafe accreditation, so you can rest assured your patio is strong enough to withstand the elements and is built to the highest Australian safety standards.

To give you a better idea of what patio you can create with Fair Dinkum Builds, here is some information on some of the most popular patio designs.
Flat Roof Patios
With their sleek design that blends seamlessly with modern architecture, flat roof patios offer versatile spaces for relaxation and outdoor entertainment areas. They are also highly durable and offer protection against the elements, allowing you to continue using your outdoor space even when it starts raining.
Skillion Roof Patios
Characterised by their distinctive single-sloped design, skillion roof patios offer a contemporary feel that can elevate an outdoor living space with modern flair. It's not just style this type of patio brings to the table, though. Their asymmetrical slope also efficiently drains rainwater and provides ventilation, meaning that no matter what your chosen outdoor activity, you'll be comfortable and protected from the elements.
Gable Roof Patios
Featuring a triangular shape, gable roof patios add timeless charm to your outdoor space, evoking a classic aesthetic while also efficiently shedding rain. You're also offered maximum overhead space with a gable roof patio, which doesn't only keep you fully protected but also offers the opportunity to hang decorative lights or install a fan, taking the comfort levels and aesthetics of your space to the next level.
FAQs
How much does a patio cost in Brisbane?
As our patios are custom, the amount you'll pay will depend on the features you've chosen. To get an accurate idea of costs, contact us today to discuss your design needs and get a quote.
Do you need planning permission to build a patio in Brisbane?
Unlike sheds, which almost always require council approval, you may be able to build a patio without planning permission in Brisbane. However, there are still rules and regulations, with guidelines that need to be followed if you want to escape planning permission. We'll be able to help you navigate these guidelines and, if need be, help you obtain planning permission from Brisbane City Council.
