Pergolas
Pergolas with Custom Design & Style
Create an outdoor area for your family with a Pergola built for you by Outside Concepts. Enjoy the great outdoors knowing you will be protected from the weather. You are investing in your living space, while adding value to your home too.
A pergola is a great addition to your home’s exterior. Traditionally, a pergola was an open-roofed frame for climbing plants or grapes.
With Australia’s climate, it is common for pergolas to be roofed with corrugated polycarbonate or metal to provide year round shade and climate protection.
They are an excellent addition to any patio or garden area for entertainment and outdoor meals. A pergola is not only a great way to expand the living areas of your home in the beautiful Australian weather, it is also an investment that will improve the value of your home.
It practically pays for itself.
Outside Concepts will custom design your pergola to your exact needs, budget and specifications. We prefer to use only the best quality timber and steel to ensure your pergolas durability and longevity.
In addition, many of our customers add sun filtering with blinds and shades for an extra feature.
Our design specialists have a lot of ideas on how to improve your home. Check out the gallery below for examples of our previous work from some of our happy customers.
Since 1991, Outside Concepts have built a reputation based on excellence and customer service.
