Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a patio and a pergola?
A pergola is an open or partially covered structure — posts and beams, often with battens overhead — that defines a space and filters light. A patio is a more substantial covered outdoor room, typically with a solid roof, that you can use in rain. Adora Decks builds both, and plenty of projects use one flowing into the other.
What materials can an outdoor patio be built from?
Timber and aluminium are the two main framing choices. Timber brings warmth and suits traditional and coastal homes; aluminium is lighter, lower maintenance and gives cleaner contemporary lines. Roofing ranges from standard sheeting through to fully insulated panels. We match materials to your home’s architecture rather than defaulting to whatever’s quickest to install.
What is an insulated patio roof and is it worth it?
An insulated roof uses a panel with a foam core rather than a single sheet of steel. It keeps the space cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and it dramatically cuts rain noise — the difference between a space you can hold a conversation in during a downpour and one you can’t. It costs more upfront. If you’ll use the patio year-round, it’s usually the upgrade people say they’re gladdest they made.
Can you add lighting to an outdoor patio?
Yes, and it’s worth planning at design stage rather than retrofitting. Running cabling through the structure before it’s clad is straightforward; chasing it in afterwards is not. Lighting is what turns a patio from a daytime space into an evening one. We’ve run seasonal offers that include a free lighting package worth $500 with booked decks — ask what’s current.
How do outdoor patio builders design for Sydney's weather?
Aspect drives everything. A west-facing space needs shade and heat management; a south-facing one needs light. We look at prevailing wind, rain direction, how water leaves the site, and where the sun actually sits in January versus July. Roofing, screening and the depth of the structure all get set from that, not from a catalogue.
Can a patio be enclosed or screened?
Yes. Decorative screening and privacy screens are one of our core service lines, and they’re the single most effective way to make an outdoor space feel like a room. Screening blocks sightlines from neighbours, filters wind, and adds architectural interest. It can be full-height or partial, timber or aluminium, fixed or louvred, depending on how much you want to close the space in.
What features can be built into an outdoor patio?
Integrated seating, built-in storage, raised planters, outdoor kitchens, lighting, ceiling fans, screening and heating are all common. On one project we built raised planters for greenery and concealed storage to hide the pool pump and kids’ toys, so the space stayed usable without looking cluttered. Integrated features cost less to build in than to bolt on later.
Should the patio match my deck?
It should relate to it, which isn’t the same as matching it. Using the same timber species across both can look flat; a deliberate contrast — light frame over dark boards, or aluminium against hardwood — usually reads better. What must be consistent is levels, sightlines and how you move between the two. That’s a design decision, which is why we design and build together.
How do you keep an outdoor patio cool in summer?
Insulated roofing, correct orientation, generous eave depth, ceiling fans, screening on the hot side, and planting. Light-coloured surfaces underfoot matter too — a dark composite floor in full western sun will radiate heat back at you. Getting cooling right is mostly about design decisions made before the build, not products added after it.
Does an outdoor patio add value to a property?
It adds usable living space at a fraction of what an internal extension costs per square metre, which is the practical answer. It also changes how a home shows: a covered outdoor room that’s clearly usable in both January heat and July rain reads as extra living area to a buyer, not as a yard feature. Build quality is what determines whether that holds up over ten years.
