What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from Melbourne homeowners who chose Stratco Outback builds
“The Stratco Outback flat roof they installed is exactly what we wanted — clean lines, no maintenance and it handles Melbourne storms without a worry. Highly recommend Undercover Concepts.”
David & Karen M.

“We compared several patio builders and Undercover Concepts were the only ones who actually stocked the full Stratco range. The finished pergola looks incredible and the 25-year warranty gives us total peace of mind.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Stratco Outback range and our installation process.
The Stratco Outback range is a premium Australian-engineered outdoor living system that includes pergolas, patios, flat roofs, gable roofs, sunroofs (opening louvre roofs) and carports. Every component is precision-manufactured from high-tensile steel and finished in COLORBOND® colours, backed by a 25-year structural warranty.
Stratco patio and pergola pricing depends on size, style, site conditions and council requirements. As a guide, most Melbourne projects range from $12,000 to $45,000 installed. We provide fixed-price quotes after a free site measure — no hidden extras.
Stratco Outback products use thicker steel, tighter engineering tolerances, and come with a genuine 25-year structural warranty from one of Australia's largest building-product manufacturers. Generic systems often use thinner materials and shorter warranties. For a structure that lasts decades, the premium is well justified.
In most Melbourne councils, yes — a building permit is required for patios, pergolas and carports. We handle the entire permit process for you, including engineering certification and council lodgement, so you don't have to deal with the paperwork.
The full range of 22 COLORBOND® steel colours is available, from classic Surfmist® and Monument® through to contemporary shades like Dune® and Basalt®. We can help you choose a colour that complements your home exterior.
Most Stratco patio and pergola installations are completed in 1–3 days on-site once permits are approved. The full process from initial quote to completion typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on council turnaround times in your area.

Which Stratco Product Is Right for You?
Stratco Outback Dealers Melbourne — Why Choose an Authorised Installer?
As one of Melbourne's licensed Stratco Outback dealers, Undercover Concepts provides the full range of Stratco outdoor structures with genuine manufacturer warranties. Unlike generic patio systems, Stratco Outback products are precision-engineered from high-tensile Australian steel, independently certified to Australian wind and structural standards, and finished in the complete COLORBOND® colour range.
Choosing an authorised dealer means your installation is backed by both the Stratco 25-year structural warranty and our 10-year labour warranty. We carry the full product range — flat patios, gable roofs, sunroofs (louvred systems) and carports — and can mix roof styles within a single project. Every build includes engineering certification, council permit management and professional installation by VBA-licensed builders.
We've installed Stratco Outback structures across Melbourne's Inner East, South-East and Bayside suburbs including Brighton, Hawthorn, Camberwell, Glen Waverley, Richmond and Malvern. Our team understands local council requirements, heritage overlay restrictions and coastal engineering specifications — so your build is compliant from day one.
