Our Range of Different Patio Styles & Options
How can you tell which style of patio is best for your outdoor space, though? We offer a few different options, making it possible to find something both stylish and practical.
Flat Roof Patios
A sleek, elegant design that makes it possible to bridge that gap between your indoor and outdoor spaces, a flat roof patio is a great choice if you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing, modern style. The flat roof also offers plenty of shade from the intense Canberra summer heat, as well as protection from rain when needed.
Skillion Roof Patios
When you want to blend sleek simplicity with an eye-catching design, skillion roof patios are the way to go. It's not just style that this type of patio brings to the table, though - it's also super practical, draining away rainwater with ease and also allowing loads of natural light through the space while still providing shade.
Gable Roof Patios
Featuring two sloping sides that join in the middle, gable roof patios add traditional character to a space while providing excellent shelter from the elements. Their triangular shape also makes them super tough, and they can stand up against rain, wind, and other extreme weather with ease, adding to their practicality.
Patio Kits
Are you the kind of person who likes to roll up their sleeves and dive into a DIY project? Our patio kits are exactly what you need, allowing you to create your dream patio from start to finish while keeping every element uniquely yours.
