Roofing

Patios & Verandahs
Curved Roof Patios & Verandahs
A softer, more contemporary line.
The curved roof adds sculptural shape to the back of the house without the bulk of a gable - a distinctive silhouette that suits both modern and classic homes.

Patios & Verandahs
Skillion Roof Patios & Verandahs
Pitch and drainage where you need it.
A single-pitch roof that lifts head height at the house line and sheds water cleanly - often the right answer on tight or sloping sites.

Why the right patio system matters
Anyone can buy steel. We use the system behind it.
Complete patio system
We source the steel, beams, roofing and accessories as a complete system and install everything to the selected product specification.
Designed for your site
Every structure is designed around Stratco's engineering system for your wind region and site conditions, with certification by independent engineers.
Council approvals managed
Where approval is required, we manage the whole process from council-ready plans through to lodgement.
One team, start to finish
Licensed builder, in-house design, our own install crew. No subcontracted mystery.
The practical difference
The structure needs to suit the house before it suits a brochure.
We measure the roof line, fall, drainage, boundaries and the way you use the yard before recommending a system.
