A patio and deck is a perfect way to create a usable outdoor living space, something we all strive for when we live on the Gold Coast, Logan or South Brisbane. Our recent project in Southport, Gold Coast utilised the popular Stratco Cooldek Insulated Flyover patio with a Pacific Crows Ash deck.

The deck uses 90mm boards, a premium picture frame finish, boxed in stairs and bench seating with removable top for extra storage.

With wetter than usual times in SEQ an outdoor undercover area that doesn't leak is a necessity! Our client in Robina had a very small 'alfresco' area with no area to entertain in all seasons. 

We utilised the versitile Cooldek insulated flat roofing and attached this to the house via the fascia. This saved considerable cost compared to a flyover, but integrates seamlessly into the house.

Pool side entertaining requires a clean, professional and sophisticated patio, pavilion or cabana to really frame the area and provide protection from the harsh sun.

Our most common style is utilising a skillion Cooldek roofing with bold Merbau posts. We typically keep with a steel beam in white due to its great spanning capabilities and the colour blends in with the ceiling, leaving the natural posts as the main feature.

Since the introduction of the Stratco Edge Gutter, we always recommend our clients option this around all 4 sides to provide an unmatched level of style.

Extra covered parking space is always at the top of many home owners wish lists and the most cost effective way to do this is with a Stratco 'Skillion' roof carport.

Our customer in Arundel on the Gold Coast wanted a clean ceiling like appearance so chose to go with an insulated roof.
While insulated Cooldek roofing was once only used for patio areas, many people are choosing to go with this type of roofing for the carport due to its great looks and long spanning capability, which removes all of the internal beams that typically clutter the carport ceiling.

We can construct a wide range of carports to suit most budgets so contact us for a FREE quote.

What an outstanding outdoor living space!!!

What started as an empty backyard, has ended with more than double the living space this home originally had.
The project started out with one of our most common and elegant designs - Flyover Cooldek Insulated Patio with bold Merbau posts.

Then after we left, this home owner took the project to the NEXT LEVEL with timber look tiling, semi frameless glass balustrading, added a floor to ceiling partial wall to mount a TV and provide a 'room' feel, furnishing off with a super comfy couch and large outdoor dining table.

This project has totally transformed the way outdoor living is now experienced in this household.

An uncovered deck provides a beautiful way to take advantage of the great Gold Coast Winter sun However, a roof over the top is a MUST for any other time of the year!

On this project in Surfers Paradise, our customer had recently had their deck renovated with new decking boards and wanted to protect this while having an outdoor space to use all year round.

The Cooldek Insulated roofing we used provided a cost effective and practical solution to what our customer needed.
We also paired the Cooldek roof with the Stratco Outback 150mm beam to provide great beam spans and an uncluttered finish to the project.

A separate pool side patio is the best way to take your living area outdoors. Separating the patio from the house creates a completely different entertaining space and also allows large or growing families to have their separate spaces.

On this project, the deck was already installed but a freestanding patio roof that tied into the existing style was required.
We utilised 140x140 Merbau posts to match the existing decking boards with a Stratco Cooldek Roof with their architectural 'V-Groove' ceiling and Edge Gutter.

In Style Patios can design and build the widest range of Stratco patios in South East QLD including, the full range of Stratco Outback products. This customer in Paradise Point wanted a cost effective but elegant entertainment area that didn't break the budget. 

The Stratco Outback Cooldek patio was the best choice for this. The streamlined and Outback beam and 68x68 Outback Steel posts are paired nicely with a Cooldek Insulated Roof.
​
You wouldn't believe it, but you can save hundreds of dollars by using the Outback post over SHS posts keeping your project on budget!

Our latest Burleigh project utilises Stratco Cooldek Roofing but this time paired with a smaller 90x90 Merbau post.
This Flyover Patio style is so popular due to its flair, cost and functionality, adding value to any home.

At In style Patios and Decks, we can either take care of the electrical work for the LED lights and fans OR simply install the wiring into the Cooldek Insulated roof sheets ready for the home owners electrician to make the connections like we have done in the project below.

The ever popular Stratco Cooldek patio has been used again in this great flyover patio project in Deebing Heights.
The mix of Cooldek insulated roofing with 140x140 Merbau posts is our most common combination as it provides a sleek modern look while being very affordable.
We have added gutter to the 2 sides to provide a superior finish to the sides of the patio compared to the standard side caps.

Flyover patios can come in 2 main different styles - Using roof brackets which come through the roof tiles, or Stratco Riser Brackets which come through the house fascia like the project we recently complete below in Reedy Creek.
This project features Stratco Cooldek Insulated roofing with large 140x140 Merbau timber posts. We have also integrated 2 of the unique Stratco Cooldek polycarbonate Coolites which allow filtered sunlight into the patio area.

Through the help of our valuable clients across the Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane, In Style Patios donated $4,500 to the Cancer Council through the Stratco 'National Patio Day' at the end of 2020.
This contributed towards a total of over $277,000 donated by Stratco and their Authorised Outback Patio Dealers nationally for 'National Patio Day' in 2020.
A big thank you to all of our clients who have supported In Style Patios throughout 2020.

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.

This Stratco Outback Carport has provided a stunning and cost effective solution for this home in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast - a cover for 2 cars and a separate area for the boat.

The carport posts have had brick piers built up around them and painted to match the same as the house walls to provide a much more integrated look.

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.

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.
