Shade, cover and outdoor space should work together naturally.
Add Shelter With Style
A patio can make an outdoor area more usable by adding shade, cover and a defined place to sit, dine or entertain. WJG Built builds patios across the Northern Rivers for homeowners who want to make better use of space beside the home, near the garden or around an existing outdoor area.
We can help you think through the patio layout, roof style, orientation, airflow, drainage, footings, finishes and how the area will connect with doors, pathways, pools or lawn areas. The aim is to create a sheltered space that feels useful through more of the year.
To discuss your patio plans, call WJG Built on 0402 173 869.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you attach a patio roof to an existing house?
A patio roof can often be attached to an existing house, but it depends on the roofline, wall structure, gutter position, drainage and available fixing points. The design needs to manage water runoff and avoid creating issues with the existing roof or eaves. In some cases, a freestanding patio may be a better option.
Is a patio or pergola better?
A patio is usually better when you want stronger weather protection and a covered outdoor area for regular use. A pergola may suit homeowners who want filtered shade, an open structure or a lighter visual connection to the garden. The better option depends on how much cover you need, the style of the home and how the outdoor area will be used.
Can you enclose an existing patio?
An existing patio can sometimes be enclosed with screens, windows, doors or partial walls, but the structure must be suitable for the added load and weather exposure. Enclosing a patio may also trigger approval requirements, ventilation considerations and drainage changes. Before enclosing the space, homeowners should check whether the existing patio was built to support that type of upgrade.
Create The Right Outdoor Fit
A patio should have a clear purpose before the design is finalised, whether you want shade near the house, a dining area, a covered space beside the pool or a more practical link to the yard. We help you work through decisions such as:
- How the patio will connect with doors, paths, gardens or pool areas
- Where shade, airflow and natural light need to be balanced
- Which roofline, posts and finishes will suit the existing home
- How drainage, footings and ground levels may affect the build
- What furniture, access and clear movement space need to be allowed for
If you’re planning a covered outdoor area, we can help you choose a patio layout that suits the home and surrounding yard.
