Pergolas
Pergolas in western Victoria
A pergola defines an outdoor area and softens the sun without closing off the sky. It is the lighter, cheaper option when you want shade and structure rather than a fully roofed room.

Council approvals managed

Filtered shade, not a lid
Batten spacing is set to the sun angle on your block, so you get shade in summer and light in winter.
Built to be upgraded
We can size the structure now so opening louvres or a solid roof can be added later without rebuilding.

Common questions
- What is the difference between a pergola and a patio?
- A pergola has open battens and gives filtered shade. A patio has a solid roof and keeps rain off. Plenty of homes end up with both.
- Do pergolas need a permit?
- It depends on size, height and position on the block. We confirm it at the site visit and handle the paperwork where it is needed.
- Can you add a roof to it later?
- Yes, if the structure is designed for it from the start. Tell us at the design stage and we size the beams accordingly.
