Read Our Google ReviewsBetween the escarpment and the coast, Wollongong homes deal with sun, sea breeze and the occasional southerly. We build patios, pergolas and decks engineered for coastal conditions.
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.
