At Patio Builder Canberra, we create and build pergolas that let you enjoy your outdoor space throughout the year. A pergola is not just for shade. It is a way to make a nice place where you can relax, have fun, and enjoy being outside. Whether you need a simple timber pergola, a stylish steel frame, or something made just for your home, we will help you bring your vision to life.

We live in Canberra, so we understand how crucial it is to get it right. It needs to be strong enough to handle strong winds. It should also look stylish to add value to your home. Plus, it must be practical for everyday use.

Why Add a Pergola to Your Home?

  • Shade and cover: Enjoy your outdoor area without burning in the summer sun.
  • Expand your living area: A pergola links your indoor and outdoor spaces naturally.
  • Style and charm: A good pergola can truly enhance the beauty of your backyard or garden.
  • Boost home value: Outdoor living spaces really attract buyers and renters.
  • Help for climbing plants: If you like a green, leafy feel, a pergola is great for wisteria, grape vines, jasmine, and more.

Our Pergola Building Services in Canberra

We provide complete design and building services for:

  • Free-standing pergolas – These are great for making a seating or dining area away from the house.
  • Attached pergolas – These are ideal for bringing your indoor space into the backyard.
  • Timber pergolas – They have a traditional feel and are perfect for gardens and older homes.
  • Steel-framed pergolas – They look modern and are very strong with little care needed.
  • Custom-designed pergolas – These can be made to fit your home’s look, your way of life, and your backyard’s shape.
  • Pergola roofing – You can pick open slatted styles for soft light or add clear or tinted panels for better weather protection.

Every pergola we create is built to withstand Canberra’s harsh weather. This includes the intense summer sun, heavy rain, and the rare hailstorm.

Choosing the Right Materials for Your Pergola

Timber:

  • Looks traditional and cozy
  • Can be painted or stained
  • Needs regular care to keep it looking good

Steel:

  • Modern, strong, and clean designs.
  • Easy to take care of.
  • Perfect for areas prone to bushfires near Canberra.

Composite:

  • Strong and easy to take care of
  • Great if you want the wood look without constant work
  • A little more expensive at first but saves time in the end

Frequently Asked Questions

The price varies based on size, materials, and how complicated it is. We can give you free quotes with no commitment. This way, you will know exactly what to expect.

Some pergolas do need approval. This is true for larger ones or those that are attached to your house. We can help you with the approval process if you need it.

It depends on how much sun or rain you want to keep out. Clear polycarbonate roofing is a good choice. It keeps out the rain but lets in light.


Most pergolas can be finished in 1 to 3 weeks. This depends on the size, design, and the weather.

Yes, we do. Every pergola we build is made just for you — we don’t have any ready-made options or a one-size-fits-all solution.
