The transformation from wasted space to entertainers paradise is complete at one of our final projects before Christmas.

A complete backyard makeover was in order for this home, going from an unusable sloped grassy hill with a small entertaining area, to a new fully functional entertainers backyard.

We utilised Stratco Coodlek Insulated roofing, rendered bulkheads with brick piers and a timber deck with 140mm Merbau decking boards. 

We finished the project off with LED downlights, a ceiling fan, and side wall for privacy and so an inbuilt kitchen can be installed.

We also installed timber stairs to link the upper entertaining area with the lower gardens which have been redesigned to complete the whole backyard upgrade.

Many new homes are built with small outdoor living areas which is not ideal for many Queensland Families where outdoor living is a priority.

This project in Upper Coomera backed onto a nature reserve so we had to design for this flat patio to blend with the natural surroundings in mind, but also staying modern to match the house. 

We utilised Cooldek insulated roofing for its clean smooth ceiling, with steel beams to maximise the spans and reduce the number of posts.

We matched this with the natural Merbau/Kwilla 140mm x 140mm posts to tie in with the deck and natural surrounds.

One of our latest projects in Miami on the Gold Coast has showcased our clients design flair in the choices they made with this flyover Cooldek patio. This use of the Stratco Cooldek V-Groove profiled ceiling ties in with the surrounding materials in and outside of the home, while the black fan and posts add a modern touch alongside the earthy Merbau Beam.

While it's not a big zone, they have certainly maximised their outdoor space and ability to entertain outside.

The unmatched versatility of the Stratco Sunroof opening roof patio was the only choice for this waterfront property in Surfers Paradise.
​The ultimate in flexibility to let allow the warm winters sun in OR to block out the harsh summer rays at the press of a button is the deciding factor for many.
​Brightening your home when you want, and to the level you want cannot be achieved with any other system.
​With an automatic rain sensor and Aluminium blades as standard on all Stratco Sunroof systems, it is a step above the rest!

Do you need another living room? A bigger kitchen or dinning room?
​This HUGE Stratco Cooldek Flyover patio has nearly doubled the living space of this home and will be the busiest part of the home year round!
​The 90x90 Merbau timber posts help the patio blend in with the natural surroundings and the added fans will ensure that hot summer days are a thing of the past.
​We also added some Stratco Ambient blinds in the 5% fabric to help with added privacy from neighbouring properties.

Functionality is the key with our latest Cooldek Patio in Benowa.
​The ever popular Stratco Cooldek Insulated roof was the best choice for this project which spans the entire width of the house. 
​Our client also wanted to increase their privacy as they wished and the addition of Stratco Ambient Blinds has done this in the best possible way.

With an ever growing family and the need for more cars​paces our client wanted a design that was going to tie in with the existing house roof line and blend in with the surroundings.
​The versatility of the Stratco Outback Multispan range allowed us to create a double Hip End to create a seamless design and there is no doubt that the strength and design of the Stratco Gable systems are leaps and bounds in front of the competition.
​We also had a custom screen manufactured for the rear of the carport to help separate the car spaces from the pool area behind.

“Want to say thanks for everything you did for us, we are completely amazed by the end result and it's everything we wanted. The last minute variation to the beam colour was the right choice we feel and couldn't be happier.

The installers(Both Matt's and Craig) we on point and made sure we were happy during the whole process, finishing the job perfectly.

Once again, thanks for a fantastic job all round.”

​Need more privacy or protection from the rain?
​Want to keep the breeze out during winter?

​Outdoor ambient blinds by Stratco are the best, and are the only way to achieve this outdoors zone around your patio.

Ambient blinds enhance rather than detract from your outdoor area with no loose strings, ropes or flapping fabrics.

​These blinds now allow this Varsity Lakes home owner to have ultimate control, allowing them to use their outdoor area 365 days a year, which is ideal for any Gold Coast property.

The front of your house is one of the most important parts of your property. It is the first thing everyone sees when visiting you, and the first thing you see when you come home everyday. ​It can either add or decrease the value of your home in a matter of seconds.

This Elanora home owner chose to get a cable carport, which instantly adds value and street appeal, while offering a functional space for his vehicles out of the weather.
