Shade and shelter, in proportion with your home.
For inspirationPergolas & outdoor structures in Perth
A good pergola looks as if it was always part of the house. We design and build timber pergolas and outdoor structures with proportions, posts and beams that suit the architecture, and roofing options that suit how you want to use the space.
Why it’s worth doing well
Architectural proportions
Post sizes, beam depths and spacing are designed to look right, not just stand up.
Connected to the deck
Designed together with decking so levels, posts and lines align.
Permit guidance
We explain when a building permit is likely to be needed and what the process involves.
Built to suit Perth weather
Fixings, footings and roof falls are planned for summer heat and winter storms.

Before you start
Things to consider
- Attached structures need to tie in properly with the existing roof or wall.
- Many pergolas need a building permit. Some designs may need engineering.
- Roof sheeting changes drainage, so gutters and downpipes need to be planned.
- Some decks, pergolas and structures need a building permit from your local council, depending on height, size and location. We will explain what applies to your project before any work begins.

FAQ
Pergolas & outdoor structures questions
Does a pergola need council approval in Perth?
Often, yes, particularly roofed or attached structures. Rules differ between councils, so we confirm requirements for your property before starting.
Can you build a pergola over an existing deck?
Usually, provided the posts can be properly footed. We'll assess the existing deck and ground.
Can the pergola be painted to match the house?
Yes. Treated pine pergolas are commonly painted, while hardwood suits an oiled or natural finish.
