Patios vs Other Outdoor Structures
Patios offer complete weather protection with a solid roof, making them ideal for year-round outdoor living regardless of rain or harsh Melbourne sun. Unlike pergolas which have open or louvred roofs, patios keep you fully covered. Compared to verandahs, patios are typically built at the rear of the home for entertaining, while verandahs traditionally wrap around the front or side. Many Melbourne homeowners combine a patio with timber decking for the ultimate outdoor living space.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a patio cost in Melbourne?
Patio costs in Melbourne vary based on size, roof style, materials, and site complexity. A basic flat roof patio starts from around $5,000-$8,000, mid-range insulated patios from $10,000-$20,000, and larger or premium designs from $20,000-$35,000+. We provide free, detailed quotes for your specific project.
What affects the cost of building a patio?
Key factors affecting patio cost include: roof style (flat vs gable vs insulated), size and coverage area, roof material (standard vs insulated panels), height and engineering requirements, site access and groundworks, council permit requirements, and additional features like lighting, fans, or blinds. We explain all costs upfront in our free quotes.
Do I need a permit for a patio in Melbourne?
Most patios require a building permit in Victoria. As experienced patio builders, we handle all council permits and approvals as part of our service - you won't need to deal with any paperwork.
How long does patio installation take?
A typical patio installation takes 2-5 days depending on size and complexity. Larger projects or those requiring significant groundwork may take 1-2 weeks. We'll provide a clear timeline during your free quote.
What is the difference between a patio and a pergola?
A patio has a solid roof providing complete weather protection year-round, while a pergola traditionally has an open or slatted roof allowing some light through. Patios keep you fully covered from rain and sun. We also offer louvred pergolas that combine adjustable blades for flexible shade control.
