Patios, Entertaining Areas & Pool Enclosures
A well designed patio or verandah entertainment area can make a great improvement to your lifestyle, not only providing protection from the elements but giving you a wonderful space for relaxation and entertainment. An attractive, well built veranda will increase your living area and will invariably add value to your house, usually by far more than the original cost.

Choice of styles
The style of your verandah or patio may be flat or skillion roof, gable roof, dutch gable or hip roof.

Outside Concepts has many styles you can adopt for your verandah and we will help ensure that the style you choose matches your home and lifestyle and integrates well with existing structures.

If you’re looking for inspiration there are plenty of sources of information and examples available online at Outside Concepts. We have the knowledge and experience to design and build a verandah to suit your needs and budget, with a 10 year structural guarantee.

Choice of materials
Selecting the right material is probably the most important decision you need to make because the material will determine the look of the verandah or patio, the cost, the amount of maintenance required and the life of the structure.

Traditionally, a verandah or patio frame would have been built from timber, with either a Colorbond® steel roof or a tiled roof. There is something about a timber patio or entertainment area that feels good. Perhaps it's that natural look with the knots and all. The timber seems to blend well with the garden and surrounding trees.

Outside Concepts will advise, plan and build your verandah using the best materials suited for your style of home and your everyday life. Outside Concepts has a great reputation for designing and building quality verandahs, patios, and entertainment areas at realistic prices. We also specialize in Bullnose Verandahs, curved structures, carports, decks and gazebos.

Adding a Gazebo to your home A gazebo may be found in parks, gardens, home gardens and public areas. They are generally freestanding and may be four, six or eight sided structures.

An Outside Concepts gazebo will be an appealing addition to your home. Often an attractive feature of a landscape, gazebos not only add to the beauty of your home, they also provide shade, shelter and a place to relax while in your garden.

They make a great entertaining area.

Decide on the shape and size of the gazebo

Once you are sure you have the right space to place a gazebo, you will need to think about the shape and size of the gazebo. Think of the right size based on what you intend to use the gazebo for. The more people you intend to entertain in the gazebo, the larger it will need to be. Outside Concepts will work with you to design and build a gazebo that is appropriate for the architecture of your house and surroundings, with consideration for your lifestyle and budget.
