Flat Roof Pergolas

Adelaide Hills Flat Roof Pergolas: At Mt Barker Steel we believe we design, engineer, manufacture and install the best Adelaide Hills Flat Roof Pergolas on the market. We promise to deliver outstanding designs, precision engineering and precise manufacturing all at affordable prices.

Flat Roof Verandah – Pergolas are typically the most economical structure and can be freestanding or attached to an existing structure.

When attached to an existing structure you need to be aware of unexpected issues such as:

  • Clearance: for large/high vehicles like a boat, caravan, 4wd/truck etc
  • Heat: low flat roofs can trap heat in summer
  • Views: if you want uninterrupted views of your garden or property
  • Perception of Space: a low flat roof can create an ‘enclosed’ or ‘cramped’ feeling.
  • Light: a solid low roof can make the area dark so you need to consider combining translucent sheeting with solid sheets.
  • Orientation: does your proposed structure face north, south, east or west? What are the pros and cons of the location with respect to wind, rain, winter sun, shade in summer etc?

Up until about ten years ago the Flat roof Pergola or Veranda was the most common style of pergola. Originally the Flat Roof Pergola was attached to the fascia under the gutter or to the wall with a back channel to support the roof sheets. The introduction of the Hi-Rib Veranda Deck has allowed the fall of flat rooves to be reduce to one degree, thus increasing the maximum height of the Flat Roof Pergola. Hi-Rib is very strong and can clear span up to 3.5m long therefore eliminating the need for internal frame work, giving a clean open look top the underside of the veranda roof.

At Mt Barker Steel we recommend attached flat roof pergolas for homes with eave heights of 2.4 metre or greater to ensure the height of your new veranda is high enough to provide sufficient airflow.  If your eave height is lower than 2.4 metres we recommend incorporating a gable or curve roof section into your flat roof pergola to ensure maximum airflow, increased head room and uninterrupted the view to your garden.

All verandahs come in different sizes and colours from the economical galvanized to powder coated colours to match existing colour schemes.

Gable Roof Pergolas

Adelaide Hills Gable Roof Pergolas: At Mt Barker Steel we believe we design, engineer, manufacture and install the best Adelaide Hills Gable Roof Pergolas on the market. We promise to deliver outstanding designs, precision engineering and precise manufacturing all at affordable prices.

When you pitch a roof to form a gable you increase the strength and spanning capability of the roof. We have built Gables out to 8.0m wide in our own workshop which look amazing.

Most gable roof pergolas are attached to the fascia of the house via special roof rafter brackets which attach to your roof trusses and come out through your fascia. A beam is then bolted to the bracket and this allows you to pitch the gable from that beam.

The gable roof pergolas can be clad with Colorbond steel or Polycarbonate sheets.

Modern polycarbonate is a popular choice as it allows the light in but stops most of the heat from getting through.

The traditional gable is the most common style of roof but the Dutch gable and the Hip roof are also very popular and give your Pergola a very sophisticated look.

Of course you can also have the structure freestanding as an entertainment area and/or carport.  The full range of traditional gable, dutch or hip pergolas can be erected no matter where the location.

At Mt Barker Steel we support our local community and encourage you to do the same. All our Adelaide Hills Gable Roof Pergolas are manufactured in our local workshop in Mount Barker, South Australia by our local staff.

Curved Roof Pergolas

Adelaide Hills Curved Roof Pergolas: At Mt Barker Steel we believe we design, engineer, manufacture and install the best Adelaide Hills Pergolas and Carports on the market. We promise to deliver outstanding designs, precision engineering and precise manufacturing all at affordable prices.

We built our first Curve roof Pergola in 1992 and have been improving them over that time.

We believe that we have the best product on the market and it is all made in our workshop so we have complete control over the workmanship and the cost.

They have a unique look and fit in nicely with modern homes and still look good on old homes.

The frame work is made from galvanised steel then cut and welded into trusses, beams and posts. They are then powder coated in a colour to your choice at a local company.

We have taken special care in the design phase to ensure that we hide the nuts and bolts inside the steel to give you a very smooth and clean look. Our Pergolas are very easy to erect and some clients purchase them as a DIY project.

The roof is covered with Polycarbonate which allows the diffused light to get through but stop most of the heat. One of the biggest advantages is it stops the suns glare on your eyes so you don’t need to sit under you pergola with your sunnies on!

Open Roof Pergolas

Adelaide Hills Open Roof Pergolas: An open roof pergola is a structure that defines an outdoor living area whilst still being open to the elements. It can be used to grow vines over to provide summer shade whilst allowing the sunlight to spill through in the winter months or can be covered with shade cloth to make the perfect environment for shade loving plant.

Open pergolas have the benefit of giving the impression of an enclose area without actually being one. They have and open air feeling and can give your garden a distinct Mediterranean look and feel. Open roof pergolas are a cost effect way to cover an area that is and irregular shape.

All our open roof pergolas are constructed from steel for hassle free maintenance and will outlast even the strongest timber framed pergola and can be fitted with stainless steel caballing to grow vines over.

Custom Designed Pergolas

Custom Designed Adelaide Hills Verandahs and Pergolas: At Mt Barker Steel we believe we design, engineer, manufacture and install the best Custom Designed Adelaide Hills Verandas and Pergolas on the market. We promise to deliver outstanding designs, precision engineering and precise manufacturing all at affordable prices.

Over the years people have come to us with lots of weird and wonderful ideas that architects have designed and drawn up, and are out of the box.

We love the opportunity to build something that is different and the satisfaction that comes with it when the customer loves the finished product.

When we started in the early 1990’s a flat roof Verandah was all you could have and customers were looking for something different.

Whilst you can get ‘out of the box’ standard Gable roof and Curve roof pergolas through companies like Stratco with their Outback Verandah there are times when a solution requires a special need that you cannot buy off the shelf and has to be custom made to suit.

What makes our Carports and Pergolas different is we have a metal fabrication shop at our Mt Barker factory outlet so we can build it under our control and have developed our style of Pergola that put most of the nuts and bolts inside the steel out of view.

You learn from experience and we have been working on this since 1991, and are making it better and better each time we build one.

If you have an idea but not sure how to go about it please give us a call before you see an architect and get some free advice on what you need.

At Mt Barker Steel we support our local community and encourage you to do the same. All our Custom Designed Adelaide Hills Verandas and Pergolas are manufactured in our local workshop in Mount Barker, South Australia by our local staff.
