Keep warm outside in the winter months and enjoy the outdoors with the advantage of shade in the heat. No matter the season, Aldinga Home Improvements offers a wide selection of patios and pergolas Adelaide to provide shade, warmth and comfort all year round.
Well-crafted patios and pergolas can be built from a range of high-quality materials including genuine Australian BlueScope steel, which is low in maintenance, and high in finished quality. At Aldinga, we work with you to design, manufacture and install patios and pergolas Adelaide that meet your unique requirements.
Pergolas in Adelaide are usually made from a combination of timber and durable BlueScope steel. We choose our materials carefully because we want you to enjoy your patio or pergola for many years to come with as little maintenance as possible. Ultimately, the materials depend on your design ideas, how you want the pergola to look, and durability.
The cost of Adelaide pergolas can vary significantly based on a number of factors. These include the size, complexity, materials and more. It’s difficult to give a precise figure because every pergola is different, however we do aim to keep our services affordable. We won’t compromise on the material quality or craftsmanship because we believe quality is worth far more in the long run than just getting a cheap pergola. Depending on the scope of your job, a pergola may cost between $100-$500 per square metre.
If a pergola isn’t for you, don’t worry. Aldinga Home Improvements can build all types of outdoor structures and entertaining areas. Pergolas and patios serve a very similar purpose to decks, verandahs and any other covered outdoor space. If your property is unsuitable for a pergola, simply contact us and ask us about alternatives.
Outdoor areas are often attached to houses, and this is perfectly normal. If we’re being technical, a pergola is usually a standalone structure, while a patio, deck or verandah can be attached to your house. But ultimately, your aim is to build a sheltered outdoor area, and we can make that happen regardless of what you call it. If you’re interested in extending your patio roof from your home’s existing roof, this is usually achievable, but it all depends on the available space and the existing structure.
When you work with Aldinga Home Improvements, you can customise any type of outdoor area to suit your Adelaide home. We can make it happen if you want to install windows, blinds, louvres or anything else. Our Adelaide pergolas are completely customised to suit your available space and your requirements.
Any structure over 2.5m in height needs council approval before construction. However, there may be exemptions to this rule, so it’s always best to check with your local council before planning too far in advance. If you add structures to your home without council approval, you may find yourself in trouble when it comes time to sell your home. Unapproved structures may negatively influence buyers; in some cases, you may even need to remove the structure in question. But don’t worry, we take care of all council approvals, so we can advise during our consultation whether approval is required.
Generally, a pergola includes a roof. Since it doesn’t usually have walls, your pergola would mostly be a series of posts in the ground without a roof. The roof is an integral part of the structure because it provides protection from the elements and allows you to enjoy your outdoor space more often during the year.
You definitely can add more features at a later date. Depending on your pergola or patio type, you can include any number of extra features. You can add walls, blinds, windows, doors, louvres, skylights, lighting, audio equipment – the list is endless. While it’s ideal to include all desired features in the initial build, there is nothing stopping you from further customising your outdoor area once it’s built.
