    What the service can include

    Pergolas tailored to the site in front of us

    No two pergolas projects are identical. Site conditions, requirements and constraints all influence the right scope.

    Across Greater Sydney, different conditions affect work in different ways. The work is planned around the condition of the site rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

    • Site visit and expert advice with no pressure
    • Custom design to blend with the home and lifestyle
    • Council approvals and high-quality construction
    • Powder-coated steel with polycarbonate or Colorbond roofing
