How much does a pergola cost in Sydney?

Pergola prices in Sydney start from around $8,000 and vary with size, materials and site conditions. The fastest way to get a realistic figure for your project is our pergola cost calculator, followed by a free on-site consultation for an exact fixed price.

Do you build pergolas in Sydney?

Yes. We regularly build pergolas across Sydney and the surrounding area, including the Hills District, Sutherland Shire, the Eastern Suburbs, the Inner West and nearby suburbs. Our own trained teams handle the build, so quality and accountability stay with us from design to handover.

Do I need council approval for a pergola in Sydney?

It depends on the size, position and your property. Sydney councils each have their own controls, and many structures fall under NSW exempt or complying development, and many pergolas can be built under exempt or complying development. We manage the engineering, certification and any council application required as part of your project.

What is the difference between a pergola and a patio?

A patio usually refers to a solid-roof structure built for full shade and weather protection, while a pergola is a defined outdoor structure that can have an open, slatted or opening-louvre roof. We build both and help you choose based on how much sun and shelter you want.

Are opening louvre pergolas waterproof?

When the blades are closed, quality louvre systems interlock and shed rain into integrated guttering. Motorised versions can include a rain sensor that closes the roof automatically when it starts to rain.

Pergolas for Sydney Homes

From the Shire to the Hills and across the Inner West, Sydney homes make the most of our climate with year-round outdoor living. We build right across the metropolitan area.

A pergola defines an outdoor room and gives you shade, structure and somewhere to entertain without enclosing the space. We build modern flat-roof, gable and opening-louvre pergolas in powder-coated aluminium and Colorbond, engineered to handle wind and sun for decades.

An opening louvre pergola is the standout option: motorised aluminium blades let you dial in exactly how much sun, shade or breeze you want, and close fully to shed rain. Add integrated LED lighting and the space works just as well for evening dinners as it does for lazy weekend afternoons.

We design each pergola to suit your home and how you'll use the area — freestanding over a deck or poolside, or attached to the house to extend your living space. Engineering, approvals and construction are all handled in-house by our own teams.
