Stratco Outback Flat Roof
Create an attractive and functional outdoor living area that will enhance your home and lifestyle with the smooth, simple, uncluttered lines of the classic Stratco Outback Flat Roof.
This versatile Flat Roofing system can be configured to cover any area around the home.
Adapt the versatile Stratco Outback Flat Roof to suit your lifestyle
The Stratco Outback Flat Roof system is extremely versatile and can be configured to cover any area around the home.
It is ideal as a single unit or can be incorporated with a gable roof, curved roof, or pergola system for extra cover.
Available as a freestanding structure or attached to the home, it can be used as a carport, verandah or patio.
With the addition of Outback Rooflite, you can supply filtered light to the underside.
The beams can span up to 8.4 metres and are available in either 120mm or 150mm sizes.
Four configurations – Giving you choice and control
There are four Stratco Outback Flat Roof configurations to choose from:
- Type 1 Has a 4.5 metre maximum span and only requires an outside beam to support the structure. However most units use perimeter beams on all sides to provide the best appearance.
- Type 2 Is the same as Type 1, but also has an overhang at the front to increase the covered area to 5.4 metres.
- Type 3 Has support beams across its span so roofing sheets can run horizontally for a different appearance.
- Type 4 Has extra support beams and a purlin through the middle to give a span of 8.4 metres.

Design Considerations
Gable or curved units attached between a flat unit and an existing structure
Gable or curved units which are attached between a flat unit (excluding pergolas) and an existing house, are only be considered attached if the gable or curved unit is attached to the existing house (C) for its full length (L) and the longest side of the combined unit (B) does not exceed twice the gable or curved unit length (L). The flat unit in this case can be considered attached. This style requires all coloumns to be embedded into footings.
Gable or curved units attached to a flat unit on one or both sides
Gable or curved units which are attached on one or both sides to flat units, (excluding pergolas) must be attached to a house for at least 75% of the gable or curved opening length (O) to be considered attached. Flat units must be deemed attached as detailed in the flat unit section below to allow the gable or curved unit to be considered attached.
Gable or curved units are considered attached on both sides if both the flat 1 and 2 comply with the attachment rules for flat units as detailed below. Gable or curved units are considered attached on one side if only one flat unit exists and it complies with the attachment rules for flat units as detailed below.
Flat units
A verandah, patio or carport is deemed to be freestanding unless it is attached to an existing house (C) for at least 75% of the length of its shortest side (A), and its longest side (B) does not exceed twice the length of its shortest side.
Design Options
When designing an Outback Patio, consideration should be given to both the roof sheet direction, and the orientation of any openings and overhangs involved. These are often determined by appearence and drainage requirements. Some of the normal configurations are shown below. Contact Stratco if assistance is required.
Stratco Outback Gable Roof
Exhibiting a strong presence and style, the pitched roof of a Stratco Outback Gable Carport, Pergola, Veranda or Patio is endowed with an open feel that will enrich your home and outdoor area.
Enhance your lifestyle with a Stratco Outback Gable veranda, patio or carport
The Stratco Outback Gable is available as a freestanding unit or attached to your home. Combined with flat roof or pergola sections, the prominent pitched roof becomes the main feature of the design.
The gable is available in our Multispan or Clearspan design. Match the Outback Deck with Outback Rooflites to supply natural filtered light.
Multispan Gable
The Outback Multispan Gable offers a range of roof cladding materials. It features purlins that are placed over the rafters in the roof. This supports the cladding, which can be the smooth Outback Deck, light and airy polycarbonate, or classic corrugated steel.
The gable can span up to 6.6 metres wide when attached at both ends, or 3 metres wide when attached at one end.
Clearspan Gable
The Outback Clearspan Gable uses only the Outback Deck, a very strong material that does not need extra purlins to support it. This leaves the roof area clean and uncluttered.
The Clearspan Gable can span an impressive 7.5 metres wide with a 22 degree pitch.

Stratco Outback Sunroof
Take control of the weather with the innovative Stratco Outback Sunroof.
Electronically controlled louvres can be opened and closed to your desired position. Let the breeze and sunlight in when the weather is fine. Provide protection when the clouds set in.
Control the weather with the innovative Stratco Outback Sunroof
The versatile Outback Sunroof provides adjustable sun-shade and protection wherever you need it. Combine it with other styles from the Stratco Outback range, or use the Sunroof on its own as an awning, pergola, veranda or patio.
Convenient control
The level of sunlight, shade and weather shielding can be controlled by adjusting the rotating louvre blades with the hand held remote.
The louvres can be rotated to the fully open position to allow for complete overhead sun, or partially open to provide shade and protection while providing adequate ventilation.
The opening direction of the louvres can be aligned in any one of four directions during installation to optimise light and ventilation control.
Automated intelligence
A rain sensor is fitted to the sunroof as standard, so the louvres automatically close when rain is detected, providing protection from the weather.
When the louvres are in the closed position, they form an interlocking profile providing protection from the rain.
Superior, durable design
The Stratco Outback Sunroof can span up to 3.9 metres thanks to its strong, well engineered blades. The pre-painted steel blades have a unique foam insert that makes them very rigid and helps insulate from any surrounding noise.
Coloured steel, stainless steel, powder-coated aluminium, and plastic materials are used throughout to ensure optimum protection from corrosion.
The entire sunroof system has been durability tested to 20,000 cycles (equivalent to two full cycles per day for more than 25 years).
A powerful 100 watt motor is used to ensure the system operates reliably for life.
It is fitted with a thermal cut-out and adjustable limit stops to prevent damage from misuse.
Quiet and effortless
The Stratco Outback Sunroof’s louvres rotate with a smooth and quiet operating action.
The system’s moving parts use specially designed bushes for whisper quiet performance. Its insulated foam core also dampens operating noise.
The louvres are driven by a powerful 24 volt DC linear actuator for reliable long life operation.
The motor is mounted high above the gutter to ensure protection from rain and pooling water. It is safe to use, and remote controlled.
Complements the entire Stratco Outback Range
The Outback Sunroof louvre blades have been specially designed with a unique, softly ribbed profile so they “look and feel” like part of the Stratco Outback family.
When the louvres are in the closed position, they form an interlocking profile that is both clean-lined and aesthetically similar to Outback Deck.
The Stratco Outback Sunroof can be installed as a stand alone unit, or combined with the Outback Flat Roof, Gable Roof, Curved Roof or Pergola.

Design Considerations
Gable or curved units attached between a Sunroof unit and an existing structure
Gable or curved units which are attached between a Sunroof unit (excluding pergolas) and an existing house, are only be considered attached if the gable or curved unit is attached to the existing house (C) for its full length (L) and the longest side of the combined unit (B) does not exceed twice the gable or curved unit length (L). The Sunroof unit in this case can be considered attached. This style requires all coloumns to be embedded into footings.
Gable or curved units attached to a Sunroof unit on one or both sides
Gable or curved units which are attached on one or both sides to Sunroof units, (excluding pergolas) must be attached to a house for at least 75% of the gable or curved opening length (O) to be considered attached. Sunroof units must be deemed attached as detailed in the Sunroof unit section below for the gable or curved unit to be considered attached.
Gable or curved units are considered attached on both sides if both the Sunroof unit 1 and 2 comply with the attachment rules for Sunroof units as detailed below. Gable or curved units are considered attached on one side if only one Sunroof unit exists and it complies with the attachment rules for Sunroof units as detailed below.
Sunroof units
A verandah, patio or carport is deemed to be freestanding unless it is attached to an existing house (C) for at least 75% of the length of its shortest side (A), and its longest side (B) does not exceed twice the length of its shortest side.
Design Options
When designing an Outback Patio, consideration should be given to both the roof sheet direction, and the orientation of any openings and overhangs involved. These are often determined by appearence and drainage requirements. Some of the normal configurations are shown below. Contact Stratco if assistance is required.

Compliance
The Wind Capacity Tables are based on testing in accordance with AS1562.1-1992 and AS4040.0, 1 & 2-1992. Span tables have been developed by determining wind pressures in accordance with AS4055-2012 for domestic applications. Capacity tables are in limit state format.Spans
The spans given in the ‘Single Spans’ table are determined for wind speeds for non-cyclonic areas. Indicated spans are suitable for ‘flat’ roof patios. Open freestanding unit spans can be taken from open three sides unless a wall, eaves or boundary exists within 500mm of two or more sides.For Cooldek roofing in attached or freestanding domestic gable patio application, sheet spans shall not exceed those given for one or no open sides. Alternatively the ‘Wind Capacities’ table may be used to determine allowable single spans for any application.Spans specified for units with three sides open are suitable for units considered ’empty under’ and not exceeding three metres in height (from ground or deck level). For units in which goods or materials stored under the roof are expected to block greater than 50% of any open side exposed to the wind spans are to be taken from open two sides.For units with two open sides, spans are based on Cp,n=-1.0 while for units with only one or no open sides, Cp,n=-1.2. In all cases, relevant consideration has been given to local pressure. Note: The ‘Wind Capacities’ table provides allowable wind capacities for Cooldek in single span application for serviceability and strength limit states. The pressures given may be used by a suitably qualified engineer for any single span application ensuring appropriate fixing details are applied.Single Spans – Domestic Patio ApplicationSingle Spans – Domestic Patio Application (mm) | |||||||||

The values in all the above tables are for use with steel supports with a minimum thickness of 1.0mm BMT, G550, or timber supports with fixing details as specified below.
Walking on Cooldek
When walking on Cooldek roofing, it is recommended you walk over the support beam to avoid damage. Wear flat, rubber soled shoes and walk flat footed in the sheet pans for Classic, and with your weight spread over as many crests as possible for CGI. For carport and verandah applications, away from supports, crawl boards should be used to avoid damage during installation and maintenance.
Maintenance
The performance of Cooldek over time depends on its correct application and maintenance. Maintenance should be performed as often as is required to remove dirt, salt and pollutants.
Where used in severely corrosive environments, cleaning should be performed more often.
It is important that screws have the same life expectancy as the cladding you have specified.
Packs of Cooldek should always be kept dry and stored above ground level while on site. If the sheets have become wet, they should be separated, wiped and placed in the open to dry.
Refer to Stratco “Selection, Use and Maintenance” brochure, for more detailed information about the correct use and maintenance of this product.
