Decking, Pergolas & Outdoor Living in Perth

Jarrah and composite decks, patios, screens and outdoor kitchens that make the backyard usable in February.

Overview

Decking, Pergolas & Outdoor Living

Shade is what turns a nice looking backyard into one the family actually sits in. We build the structure, the deck and the screening as one element so the posts land where they should and the roof line sits with the house instead of bolted onto it.

Pergolas & patio structuresEngineered, certified and lodged for building approval where required.

Perth specific

West-facing is the Perth problem worth solving

A large share of Perth blocks put the main living area on the western side, which is unusable from 3pm through summer. The fix is rarely a bigger roof — it is the right combination of an angled batten screen, deciduous planting on the hot corner, and a deck level that lets air move under it. We model the shade across the day before pricing anything, so you are buying afternoons outside rather than square metres of roof.

Questions

Decking & Pergolas FAQs

Do I need a building permit for a pergola?

In most cases yes, once it is attached to the house or over a certain area. We handle engineering, drawings and the council lodgement as part of the quote.

Jarrah or composite?

Jarrah looks better and costs less upfront but wants an oil every 12–18 months. Composite costs more and never gets that patina, but it is genuinely maintenance-free and stays cooler underfoot in the sun.

Can you match an existing patio roof?

Usually. Send a photo through the quote form and we will tell you honestly whether it will blend or whether it is better to make the new structure deliberately different.
