Where do I start?

Most people that make an inquiry have an area, either attached to the house, being either a free-standing away from the house, being either a 'grassed', 'paved' or 'concrete' area that they are looking to cover.

So clicking into our site is a good starting point. Throughout this site, you will find different shapes, sizes and styles to show how they change the backyard of your home.

Do I need council approval?

In most cases, council approval is required; depending on the size of the pergola and that the allowable size to construct a pergola without consent will vary from council to council. What is required is a copy of the site plan of you house to indicate where on the block the pergola is going, showing distances to fence-lines, consent signatures on the building application forms and specifications on the 'proposed' pergola. We organise all of this for you.

What style will suit my house?

A variety of styles can suit most homes and it is really what 'catches your eye' when you view some photos.
From pergolas built on 'single post' to slab, to double-post to slab, to single or double posts on to a sandstone-capped half-pier to the use of columns with the ornate and ovolo rings at the top and bottom, its the style that fulfils your view on what will look nice on your home.

Why a gable pergola?

OK, good question. The gable pergola offers you a more spacious feel within the perimetre of your pergola that conventional 'flat' style roofs lack. It's the area about that you capture with the use of gable pergolas that creates the feeling of space.
Also the benefits of gables are that you allow more air flow and a great deal more of light entering into the area to which the area becomes cooler in the warmer months.

In particular, the use of Poly-Carbonates as opposed to steel offers you more light and less heat as Poly-Carbonates have come along way from the initial tinted sheets which were great in winter, but so hot in summer.
