Firstly, What is a Patio Roof?

(Also known as a Patio Cover)

The Patio originated in Spain. The original meaning of the word was ‘an inner courtyard with no roof’. Throughout time the meaning has changed to now describe a gathering area, usually at the rear of the home, near the back entrance.

A Patio roof is the protective roof over this outdoor entertaining area. Installing a Patio roof is an awesome idea that will extend the hours of outdoor living patio use throughout the whole year.

Without the shade offered by a patio roof, it may simply be too hot in the Queensland summer to enjoy your outdoor entertaining area. Unpleasant winter weather can also limit the use of outdoor areas. Installing a patio roof protects you from weather and extends your outdoor living to all year round.

Each patio roof installed is different. It needs to fit with your plans, your lifestyle, and the look of your home. Deking Decks will run you through all the options before making the decision on which patio roof to install.

Your outdoor floor area might be pavers, concrete or a timber deck. You might decide on an insulated patio roof or non-insulated. You might choose to have the patio roof attached to your house or have it installed as a flyover separate from the house.

Patio Roof Price Considerations

There are quite a few factors that affect the cost of patio roof construction. At Deking, we will discuss all the options with you. This gives you peace of mind so you will be happy with your decision for years to come.

Some factors that affect the cost are:

• • Size and shape – what is the area of patio roof? A larger patio will need more materials and will take more time to construct, hence size is one of the main cost factors in your chosen patio roof.

• • Materials – do you prefer steel or timber posts? Do you want an insulated roof (cooler in summer/warmer in winter) or not?

• • Flooring – what material is the floor of the patio? Is the flooring existing or is that to be constructed as well? You may decide on concrete, paving, tiles, wood decking, brick, or natural stone as a floor for the patio area.

• • Attachment – is the patio roof to be attached to the roof of your home or installed separately as a flyover?

• • Functionality – is electricity, gas or plumbing required for the patio area?

• • Accessibility – is the area flat level ground, or raised? Is there room to get equipment into the area?
