D.I.Y Home Improvements – Designs and Styles

Skillion Patio Roof

Also known as a flat roof patio, the skillion roof is a classic and affordable design with minimal fall or angle, typically around 2 degrees (30mm per meter). This timeless design can be easily customized to fit your existing home and is perfect for patios, carports, or roofs above decks.

Whether you need a freestanding structure or an attached extension, the skillion roof offers incredible versatility. We provide a wide range of roofing profiles, including insulated options, to suit every budget. All our roofing profiles are double-sided, feature a high-gloss finish, and are guaranteed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space.

Pitched Roof Patios or Carports

A pitched roof design adds elegance and height, creating a spacious and airy feel for your outdoor area. Our design software allows you to seamlessly integrate a pitched roof patio or carport extension to your home.

With a variety of styles to choose from, you can opt for:

  • A traditional gable-end design
  • A sophisticated hip roof style
  • The distinctive charm of a Dutch gable

Our pitched roofs are set at a 22.5-degree pitch by default, though this can be adjusted on-site (20–25 degrees). Unlike sheds, our roofs feature full box beams with complete end capping and connectors, ensuring durability and a professional finish.

Flyover Roof Patios

For a modern and functional outdoor space, a flyover roof patio is the ultimate choice. These designs offer additional height and ventilation for practical use and an impressive aesthetic. Ideal for low-set or L-shaped houses and high-set decks, the flyover roof provides unparalleled comfort and style.

Our flyover roof system is expertly engineered, BlueScope-approved, and suitable for all wind conditions in Australia. It is compatible with both tile and metal roofing, ensuring versatility for any home.

Pro Tips for Measuring Your Flyover Roof:

  1. Bracket Placement: Brackets must attach to your top plate (usually 200mm behind the house wall). For instance, if your desired projection is 3.8m, you’ll need a 4m roof kit for proper attachment.
  2. Add Extra Projection: For added protection against rain and a more polished look, extend your measurement by an additional 500mm.

Gazebos

Our range of freestanding gazebos is ideal for enhancing your outdoor entertainment or poolside area. Available in 6 or 8-sided designs and widths up to 8000mm, these pre-fabricated kits include detailed installation instructions, engineering, and supporting documentation.

With a standard roof pitch of 22.5 degrees, our gazebos are built to last. Unlike traditional timber huts, our designs will never rot, fade, twist, or split and come with the reassurance of a full COLORBOND® warranty.

A gazebo from PatioKits will complement any outdoor space and is available in a complete suite of genuine COLORBOND® colors and finishes, ensuring both style and durability.
