Patio Installation Cost in 2026: Timber Patio and Roofing

December 3, 2015

A brand new timber patio and patio roof can transform your house, making it feel more open, inviting, relaxing and luxurious all at the same time. A timber patio also increases your living space and provides the perfect opportunity to entertain guests, eat family dinners outside where it’s cooler, or relax in the shade with an unencumbered view.

Deck and patio builders from DeKing Decks specialise in quality timber patio and roofing solutions that are affordable.

Patio Installation Cost Factors

The cost of installing a new timber patio and/or patio roof can vary widely. As David from DeKing Decks will tell you, the price range depends on your personal preferences for what kind of patio and patio roof you’d like to install.

While your particular design may have some unique elements that affect the cost, there are a number of common factors that affect every build.

Timber patio cost factor

  • The size (length and width) of the proposed timber patio
  • The type of timber used
  • The shape of the patio
  • The site location and how much slope is on the block
  • Whether the patio is on ground level or the 2nd storey
  • Whether you want a handrail

Patio roof cost factors

  • The size (length and width) of the proposed patio roof
  • Whether you want an insulated or uninsulated patio roof
  • Whether you want a flyover patio roof or fascia attached patio roof

To help you estimate the patio installation cost, David has developed the Decking Calculator.

Once you’ve completed the calculator’s 3 easy steps, you’ll have an estimate emailed to you in seconds. The whole process shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

Keep in mind, though, that the calculator can only provide you with an estimate of your costs.

What our Customers Say

We had saved for years to get the money to build a deck . Because i am as tight as a fishes bum with money I needed to make sure we would get value for money. I am so glad we chose Deking to build it.

Our deck is simply the most amazing structure I have seen in a long time…and im very old. The cuts and joins are perfect, it is square and structurally very sturdy. Each post is ridged and perfectly straight.

The insulated roof is beyond words with four flush down lights and a DC fan..it is stunning…beautiful. I cant wait to finish leaching the tannins out and then oiling it.

If i have to use one word for my brand new deck it would be. “Art. ” Not art like Whistlers Mother ..look but do not touch, rather it is art you can have a BBQ on… Art you can walk on.

The carpenters were amazing, with worldly skills, polite demeanor and very open to answering my many constant questions. I will absolutely use Deking Decks again and I happily recommend them . Ron – Brisbane – Google Reviews
