What is a flyover patio?

A flyover patio is elevated above your home's existing roofline on posts, creating a gap between the house and the patio roof. This draws in natural light and airflow, making the space feel bigger, brighter and more connected to the outdoors than a standard attached patio.

How much does a flyover patio cost?

Flyover patios in Sydney typically range from around $8,000 for a small single skin structure up to $38,000+ for a large insulated flyover with fans and lighting. The elevated, post-supported design and engineering make them a little more than a standard flush patio.

Is a flyover patio better than a standard patio?

A flyover patio gives you more height, light and airflow and prevents adjacent indoor rooms from becoming dark, which a low standard patio can sometimes cause. A standard attached patio is more affordable, so the best choice depends on your home and budget.

Do flyover patios need engineering?

Yes. Because the structure is elevated and supported independently of the house fascia, engineering design and certification are required. We manage the full engineering and council approval process for you.

Can a flyover patio be insulated?

Yes. Flyover patios can be finished with insulated roof panels for better heat control, or single skin Colorbond and polycarbonate depending on your preference for light, comfort and budget.
