Patio Covers

What will you do under your Patio Cover?

Your patio cover may be a quiet place to relax with a good book, or a boisterous night with your mates with the footy on the big screen.

It could be that you just need some extra space for the growing family or a weather proof spot for the ping pong table.

Patio covers are a very cost effective way to extend your homes living area without the huge cost of a full renovation. The Deking team are all qualified tradespeople who will bring your ideas to life.

Flyover or Raised Patio Cover

The flyover or raised patio cover is by far the most popular patio roof being built today. With the advantage of the extra ceiling height which matches the height inside your home along with the added benefit of cross ventilation and a reduction in heat transfer to the space below.

There are 2 methods of creating the lift above the house roof, with both systems fully engineered to meet Australian standards and cyclonic conditions.

1. Extenda brackets or SHS posts. These protrude through the roof surface and are attached to the house framework. Rubber dektite flashings are then installed for a 100% water seal
2. Fascia riser bracket. This method does not penetrate the roof surface but is instead fixed to the side of the house roof rafter and protrudes through the fascia, just under the gutter.

Choose from either insulated or V-line roofing. Insulated roofing offers a smooth clean ceiling. It is like having a living room roof over your patio or deck. This creates a flow between your outdoor and indoor living spaces. Insulated panels have special channels to hide all your electrical wiring for down-lights, ceiling fans and heating. V-line roofing will require more cross beams, but is just as effective.

To make your patio cover extension look natural the gutter and accessories are made to match your home and it’s current design. Insulated panels come in 5 different thicknesses, making them suited to small areas as well as large spans. Thicknesses include: 50mm 75mm 100mm. Roofing options also include corrugated, to match your house roof, or the classic style for a minimal pitch design.

Replacing old Timber Patios and Patio Covers

Timber patios are a way of life in Queensland. You may remember the famous GANGgajang song, “Sounds Of Then”, that captured the essence of life on a patio so perfectly. As the song goes, ‘Out on the patio we sit / and the humidity we breathe / we’d watch the lightning crack over canefields / laugh and think, this is Australia’. It’s practically in our blood—no wonder we love patios so much!

Timber patios provide much more than just a great view. They’re also the perfect way to extend your living area, create that outdoor entertainment space you’ve always wanted, or compliment a pool. So if you’re looking for a timber patio to refresh, revive, and revolutionise your current living space, get in touch with us at DeKing. We can design and build the perfect patio area for you!

Insulated Patio Covers

Insulated roofing offers a clean and simple alternative to conventional building methods with many advantages including:

• Pre painted with a choice of colours
• Insulated core to stop reflective heat and dampen noise from rain.
• Ceiling like underside
• Ability to add lighting and fans

The insulated roofing sheets come in 2 roofing profiles: Classic (Trim deck) and Corrugated with a range of colours to choose from to match your home. There are five insulation thicknesses to choose from; 50 mm, 75 mm, 100mm, 125 mm, and 150 mm. Each thickness has greater spanning ability and increasing levels of insulation. Our Insulated Panel has exceptional strength. This allows it to span up to 8 metres unsupported. Having large spans reduces the amount of framework and beams required. This provides clear views and an uncluttered appearance.

There is a wide range of popular colours for the topside. So you can integrate your existing colour schemes. The ceiling is available with a smooth white finish to best match the ceiling inside your home.
