Flat Roof Patios & Verandahs
Create a sheltered space for outdoor meals and relaxed afternoons, with a low-profile roof designed to suit your home. 2L handles the design, permits and installation.
Outback Flat Roof
Room to relax.
Designed around your home.
Give your outdoor table, barbecue and seating area a place under cover. The Outback Flat Roof keeps the profile low and the space open, with spans up to 8.4 metres depending on the design and engineering requirements.
Enclosed beams, fewer visible screws and a subtle pitch create a neat finish with effective drainage. We help you choose Outback Deck, Cooldek, Sunroof louvres or a combination to suit the shade, light and comfort you want.
