As cantilever pergola experts, we understand Round Corner’s semi-rural feel, acreage properties, new estates creeping in, and lots of start-ups in local hobby farms and lifestyle blocks.

Round Corner is an urban locality name on The Hills Shire suburb list. The name is used with a suburb name, not on its own. The Hills Shire Council, suburbs and postcodes (July 2020)
When a Round Corner property is in The Hills Shire, balconies, decks, patios and pergolas may be built without approval when they meet every development standard for that type of work in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008. They are not always exempt. The Hills Shire Council, Exempt and complying development
Summer heat, sun on open ground and wind off the rural fringe are the Round Corner conditions we design for. On sloping blocks we plan the drainage with the pergola so the pool and the alfresco stay usable.
