Project overview

This Stratco Outback patio in Cranbourne East extends covered space along the rear of the home with a 7.025 × 4 m flat roof. Outback Deck roofing combines a Gun Metal Grey topside with an Alpine ceiling, while three Rooflites bring daylight into the sheltered area. Deep Space beams, Ebony columns and gutters define the perimeter, with integrated LED strip lighting for evening use. The roof attaches to the existing fascia.

What the homeowners needed

The brief was to create a sheltered outdoor area beside the home's rear doors, making the backyard more usable for everyday relaxing and entertaining. Keeping daylight near the house and retaining an open connection to the garden were key considerations.

Our solution

The fascia-attached flat roof extends shelter across the rear of the home without adding a separate raised roofline. Three Rooflites admit daylight through the Outback Deck roof, while integrated LED strip lighting provides light after dark. The Alpine underside contrasts with the dark beams and columns.

The finished result

The completed patio provides 28.1 m² of open-sided cover beside the home. Rooflites keep the sheltered space bright during the day, with LED strip lighting extending its use into the evening. Deep Space beams, Ebony columns and matching gutters give the structure a consistent dark perimeter.
