Gable pergolas can be lined with timber or materials that emulate ceilings, they can also have decorative additions to them such as false gables and dutch gables which allow for more space under the roof and give a different appearance to the roof line outside of the structure.

Flat pergola

Flat roof pergolas are highly versatile structures that can provide a lot of flexibility. They can be lined with a timber ceiling and feature inbuilt lighting and fans, or they can have different levels or pitches to provide exactly the style and conditions you require.

Skillion roofs, also known as mono-pitch or shed-style roofs – offer a flat roof with a twist. The The roof includes a visible slope, which means the roof is higher at one point to effect an efficient, practical roof with clean lines and a modern, minimalist look.

Dutch gable roof improves the aesthetics of the buildings because of the dutch gable design, and is recommended when designing and matching into existing house roof structure.

The Dutch gable roof draws the advantage the gable roof and hip roof to improve the shedding of water, whilst the overhanging eaves provide additional shade from the sun and rain.

The gable section of the roof is constructed on top of the hip roof, creating more space in the loft. The roofing style was featured in the Renaissance Architecture and became popular in Australia because of the combination of hipped and gable roof.

The high ceilings with the Dutch gable provide more interiors space which increases the amount of lighting and airflow.

Scotch Valley Pergola

The scotch gable includes a scotch valley gable, hip and valley, broken hip and valley, broken valley or a combination of thereof. A level of skill and compentancy is required to construct particularly in the intersecting roof lines.

The hip & valley roof has an additional ridge, which joins the main roof ridge at the same height, which creates a single valley for an ‘L’ shaped roof. It may also join the roof surface at the same height or at a lower level on a side or end, without connection to a hip, creating two valleys for a ‘T’ shaped roof.

Pavilion Pergola

Pavilion roof lines are all equal on all sides. Pavilion are a open building which is separate independent structure or can be attached to an existing building.

The pavilion design is becoming more popular with the inclusion of an enclosed feature ceiling and lighting as a outdoor entertainment area separate from the main building.

Roofing

Pergolas can also use different types of roofing to achieve different ends. Primarily, pergolas are covered with either steel roofing or polycarbonate roofing which either mirror the style of your home or allow good light transmission into the pergola. You also have the option of tiling a pergola or adding a ceiling out of many different materials.

These finishes allow you to add things such as fans, heaters and lighting to make the most of your pergola in all conditions.

Lined Ceiling

Covered outdoor pergolas are one of those often unloved entertaining spaces, but by lining one side and the ceiling space with timber slats, you can create a stylish new look with extra privacy, and insulation.

Attachment – Existing House

Both flat and gable roof pergolas can be attached on one or multiple sides to your home. Attachment methods used are determined by the pergola type as well as the characteristics of your home. Some pergolas can be bolted to the wall, however in most cases we recommend using brackets to connect the pergola to the roof of your home and reduce the load that the pergola places on your home.
