Pergolas Builders Wollongong

A patio is an area of concrete, brick, or paving set out as a separate area outside your home. This home exterior improvement will provide you with a shaded outdoor living space where you can enjoy al-fresco dining and socialise on those hot summer days and cool summer evenings. Patios are most often found in the backyard of homes, but some modern patios are attached to the house and even enclosed with glass windows.
Pergolas Wollongong will build a beautiful patio for your outdoor space. Patios allow you to increase the usable area of your house by providing more room on which you can relax, entertain or even store outdoor equipment such as toys or tools. We also do renovations on existing patios. Patios are made from different materials, including brick, wood, concrete, natural stone and tiles. The material you choose for your patio is all up to personal preference. Concrete patios are a popular choice because they are low-maintenance and durable. They also come in various colours, shapes and sizes to suit any backyard space or décor.

An eave is the overhanging part of a wall, particularly the roof eaves. It is also called an overhang. Eaves are an essential consideration in architecture and exterior design as they can alter the shape or size of your house. The eaves extend outwards from the walls of a building to keep water away from the walls. When there are eaves on both sides of a wall, they are said to be double-eaves or double-gables if the roof slopes down on both sides.

There are different types of eaves depending on the design and style of a building.

Boxed eave – this is the most common type of eave found in houses. The boxed eave is less formal than, say, a pedimented one- it’s also easier to build because there are no complex angles or small pieces that need to be pieced together. 

Pedimented eave – It is much simpler but not as formal as a boxed-eave because fewer design lines exist. A pedimented eave has three separate slopes, creating an apex at the top.

A verandah is an extension of a building, often connected to the entrance. It creates an outdoor space that can be used for many purposes: relaxation, entertaining or enjoying views. However, because verandahs sit outside buildings and are exposed to the weather, they require special care and repair work when damaged.

Verandahs can be made using either wood or metal and can be enclosed or open. Wood verandahs have a lower cost, but because wood is more vulnerable to termite infestation and rot, the wooden components should be replaced every 15 years. To extend a life of a wood verandah, repainting it with a suitable paint every three years will prevent the surface from rotting. Metal verandahs will last longer than wood, however, because of the iron or steel components, it is more expensive.

Pergolas Wollongong are experts in transforming outdoor spaces and can build your dream verandah. Our team is professionally trained and has years of experience in building such structures, so you can be sure that your outdoor space will become a comfortable living area for you and your family.

A carport is a structure built over a parking space to provide protection from direct sunlight, rain or snow, and other adverse weather conditions. These can be simple structures that are free-standing with no posts or walls other than fencing materials that surround the structure to keep cars in and prevent people from walking through. They can also be more complex structures where the carport is attached to another building.
At Pergolas Wollongong, we make carports from a variety of materials. We offer a timber carport that is traditional in appearance but with a modern twist, and we can also install a steel-framed carport that is maintenance-free and very sturdy. Our experienced team will work with you to create the perfect carports for residential and commercial in various colours and sizing options to suit your needs.
