Craig Arthur, branch manager for Outside Concepts Adelaide southern suburbs.
My name is Craig Arthur. I’m the branch manager for Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to look at my page and the Outside Concepts website. You’ll perhaps understand by now that by choosing Outside Concepts you won’t just get a structure, you’ll get a quality built asset that will add value to your home.
I’m not a ‘Sales Guy’…
The other thing you won’t get when you choose Outside Concepts and my branch is a sales representative coming to your house, more interested in gaining the highest commission than meeting the needs of clients. I don’t talk the talk of a salesman.
Instead, I will do my utmost to advise you on different options and ideas of what will work best for you. As a building supervisor, my goal is to design the best structure to suit your needs rather than gain a sale and move on to the next one.

Over the years, I have built hundreds of structures, helping to create outdoor living spaces where people can relax and entertain in comfort. In addition, my son and I have installed many outdoor blinds to complete people’s outdoor living areas.
We can show you our range of outdoor blinds and install them on any existing structure. Many people who have gone on to become clients have commented on how nice it is to have the person quoting the outdoor structure or blinds actually installing them.

Testimonial
Hi Craig,
I just wanted to say thanks and how pleased I am with my pergola. It looks just as I hoped.
Cody was great. Showed up on time ( rare these days), cleaned up at the end and did a brilliant job. He was friendly and courteous but consistently got stuck in to the job.
I was very impressed with the whole process
I would have no hesitation in recommending Outside Concepts.
