We could all do with just a little more space in our homes. Especially when so many of us are working from home more than ever. In this blog, we look at 7 Outdoor Patio Roof Ideas to improve your home.
There is nothing better than the outdoor BBQ in Qld, regardless of whether it’s winter or summer. We hope our covered patio roof ideas inspire you to create a wonderful outdoor area for your family.
Why choose the expertise of DeKing Decks for your outdoor patio in Brisbane?
This Patio Roof gives your home more comfortable, usable space.
Adding a patio roof dramatically increases your entertaining space and gives your house a relaxed flow. By building a patio roof in your backyard (or front yard), your indoor and outdoor area blends into one, allowing a seamless transition from pool-side, to lounge room, to dining table.
Our attached covered patio ideas are a great way to easily extend your living area. A patio is the ultimate mood creator: instantly putting your guests at ease, and setting the scene for a relaxed night of polite conversation.
The combination of a pool and a patio is a classic Australian party tradition. And with very good reason: they combine to make your party guests feel cooler (whether they’re in the pool or not) and more comfortable.
Planning on feeding a bunch of family and friends? A patio provides the perfect space for an outdoor BBQ so you can interact with all your guests while cooking. It also means no more ducking out to a quiet corner of the backyard to cook by yourself. With a deck, the BBQ – and you – can be at the centre of the party.
Now is the perfect time to contact us and arrange for your patio to be built. Or use our Patio Roofing Calculator to get a more accurate estimate. We can talk to you about your budget and what you want to do with your space. Get ready for the summer season with your dream patio.
In Brisbane, a roofed patio attached to the house generally must be set back at least 1.5 metres from your side and rear property boundary lines. Corner blocks and areas may be subject to stricter rules.
We suggest flyover style patio roofs with insulated panels. This blend works best for keeping the patio cool, maximising airflow while blocking the sun.
In Queensland, residential building work must generally be performed by a builder holding a QBCC License. You can only undertake the work yourself if you apply for and secure an owner-builder permit. Even if you want to DIY, talk to us at DeKing first for guidance.
Clear or tinted polycarbonate is frequently used, though many homeowners prefer the thermal performance of insulated aluminium panels. In this case, you can often add skylights.
