Skillion Carports have become one of the most popular designs being built on the Gold Coast due to its cost effective design and easy integration into many styles of homes.
Our Elanora project utilises Stratco Cooldek Insulated roofing with the V-Groove ceiling to add some extra flair. The long spans of Cooldek Insulated roofing means that minimal posts are required along the front allowing easy vehicle access.

A Cooldek patio with Ambient Blinds provides the best entertaining space, taking advantage of ultimate flexibility in all weather conditions. 
The Cooldek Insulated roof provides a cool area out of the harsh summer sun while the Ambient blinds allow you to warm up the area on Cool winter days and nights.
These Ambient blinds are 'crank' controlled utilising a manual winding mechanism to raise and lower the blinds. This provides a very cost effective alternative to remote control, motor driven blinds but still allows the flexibility of stopping the blinds in any position.
In Style Patios has a great range of blind styles, colours and fabrics to suit many applications.

The Cooldek flyover patio is our most popular style and great patio design that satisfies many of the key requirements for a new outdoor entertaining area.

1. A functional space that provides all year weather protection
2. A cost effective design
3. A design that is stylish and adds value to the home

This project utilizes a reverse flyover design that increases the ceiling height and available light to come into the house.
It is also paired with 140x140 Merbau posts and 4 LED lights which are common upgrades on many of the patios we build.

Our latest range topping Stratco Pavilion Grande certainly adds sophistication and style to the entertainment area of this beautiful home in Willow Vale on the Gold Coast.

The larger 275mm X 275mm Pavilion posts and 400mm x 200mm Bulkheads are wrapped in the colour ‘Carbonite’ which ties in perfectly with the Black window and stacker door frames on the house.

While In Style Patios and Decks have the largest range of patio styles on the market, the Pavilion Grande is the only system to seamlessly integrate with the home!
In Style Patios are the leading Stratco Pavilion Dealers on the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

Versatility was the key with our project in Miami on the Gold Coast with this Stratco Cooldek flyover patio being functional as both a patio and carport for the home owner.

With a sprawling front yard, this duplex needed to maximize the entertaining space at the front to make good use of the yard. With a single garage, the addition of the carport allows the home owner to enjoy 2 undercover car spaces which is a necessity in today's home design.
​
The Stratco Outback steel beams and posts provide years of maintenance free performance and now come with an industry leading 25 year warranty - something no other manufacturer offers.

This entertainment area has the FULL package. Stratco Cooldek Patio, Merbau Deck, Stratco Ambient Blinds, Stratco Ezislat screening along with fans lights and an outdoor TV.....what else would you want!!!
The Cooldek roof is the best choice for this application due to its ability to span large distances without internal beams and also allow LED downlights to be installed flush with the ceiling and support outdoor fans.
The Stratco Ambient blinds allow control over the hot Western sun in Summer ensuring year round comfortable use of the space. The Ezislat screening provides privacy from the neighbours and forms a 'wall like' end to help you utilise the full space.
Year round entertaining has be transformed for this family!!

Our latest project in Nerang, Gold Coast was for a business who needed a more professional entry to the premises and staff entertaining space.
Stratco Cooldek flyover roofing was again the best choice for the roof, providing clean lines with great spanning capabilities creating an uncluttered area.
90x90 Merbau posts were integrated when the deck was built ready to support the Stratco 150mm Outback beam.
The huge new space will be holding this businesses Christmas party in a couple of weeks with more than enough space to entertain their valued staff and clients.

The ever popular Stratco Cooldek Flyover has been used in this project in Robina. For this project we have reversed the fall of the patio roof to go back towards the house to further accentuate the view looking out over the pool area.
​The long spanning Outback beam has allowed a single feature 190x190 Merbau post to be used to open up the area. 
The patio is also fitted out with a large black fan to circulate the air on those hot summer days and 4 LED down lights to ensure this entertaining area can be used day or night, 365 days of the year.

flat WOW WOW WOW......
​This outdoor oasis has it all for 365 day year round entertaining. We recently installed a Cooldek Insulated flyover roof for a first class, full house renovation by nash building + interiors in Burleigh.
The Outdoor patio utilises Stratco Cooldek Insulated Roofing, Great spanning Stratco Outback steel beams and is paired with 200x200mm Recycled Spotted Gum posts to make a statement!

"We would highly recommend Tye, Mike and the team who were very professional from start to finish erecting our Stratco Outdoor Patio. The advice they gave us on the best way to proceed with what components were best to use, even down to the installation of our down lights which were installed by Mark. The finished product is well worth 5 stars. We love it"

A private and tranquil space has been created at this home in Casuarina on the Northern NSW coast.
The newly built home needed a functional and private outdoor area and the Stratco Outback Sunroof provides the best solution by far!

The opening roof blades of the Sunroof provide the flexibility to enjoy the warm winter sun and block out the harsh summer rays. Operated by a remote control, the blades can be left open and the automatic rain sensor will close them up for you if the weather changes.

This project has been beautifully finished off by the home owner with some great plants creating  a relaxing and private outdoor retreat.

Every time we complete a project with a Stratco Pavilion Grande we, and our customer, are blown away with the finished product. There simply isn't any other Patio system that comes close to the finish of the Stratco Pavilion Grande.

As you can see from the before photos, the previous area was covered in shade sails which didn't provide the full protection of a patio from the elements.

The new Stratco Pavilion Grande has extended the inside out and created an all year round entertaining area featuring a Cooldek Insulated Roof, Remote control Stratco Ambient blinds to provide privacy and protection from the weather, LED downlights, LED feature up/down lights and fans.

If you want the BEST patio on the market, the Stratco Pavilion Grande is the only choice!

We completed an identical job to this right next door 6 months earlier.
This neighbour was absolutely thrilled with their neighbours patio they just had to have one themselves!

--------------------------------------------
Do you have a new house but the builder hasn't incorporated a suitable outdoor space?

This newly developed area in Palm Beach only had a retractable fabric awning installed on each home. Certainly not suitable for the QLD storms or outdoor life we like to live!

In Style Patios helped this client design and build a permanent outdoor living zone that matches the home and development seamlessly - Bulkhead design patio. It also looks like it was there from the start!
​
We utilised parapet walls to hide any of the roof sheets and gutter, secretly installed the downpipe in the column so it cannot be seen from the outside and added a Stratco Cooldek Insulated roof. Everything was finished off with a rendered finish and painted to match the home.

The added LED downlights and fan also ensure that every moment outside is as comfortable as it can be.

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.
