Patios Built Across Melbourne
Living on the Melbourne is all about outdoor living. A patio is the best place to either enjoy a BBQ or simply have a quiet drink with friends.
Patios let you enjoy outdoor living, whilst still being sheltered from the harsh sun or from the rain. A patio can be enjoyed all year round.
Generally Melbourne houses are orientated so that their living areas open out towards their best aspect, which takes advantage of either water, or garden views, or breezes. So why not add a deck and patio and expand your outdoor living area, by creating an outdoor entertainment area.
Patios Melbourne – Patio Designs and Patio Ideas
The Melbourne climate is ideal for outdoor living. So why not invest in a patio, that can be used all year round.
Patio designs and patio ideas include:
- The size, age and style of your home, relative to your block size,
- How your patio will maximise your view, relative to your aspect,
- The type of patio roofing. Different patio roofing types are colourbond roofing, insulated roofing panels or laserlite roofing,
- Whether your outdoor patio is a flyover roof (ie raised above your house roof) or whether the outdoor patio is attached to your house,
- Ensuring that your patio receives the maximum benefit of any cooling breezes in summer,
- Whether your patio will be adversely affected by the harsh westerly summer sun, which suggests that it should be an insulated roofing material.
We recommend that patios seamlessly merge the new outdoor entertainment area with your existing internal room. This can be achieved by the type of posts, adding a bulkhead, style of handrails, balustrades and even adding some greenery or plants. In addition, patios can be further enhanced by outdoor lighting, outdoor ceiling fans, outdoor stairs and even an outdoor kitchen.
