"Very happy with our new patio. The tradie was professional and delivered high quality work and great attention to detail.
We also did a Stratco product and happy with the quality. Highly recommend."
- Berwick homeowner
WHY WE USED RISER BRACKETS
The raised roof design uses riser brackets to position the Stratco patio above the existing gutter line, creating extra height and a more open feel. Twinwall infill closes the gap while allowing additional natural light into the patio and adjoining living areas.
RISER BRACKET DESIGN
• Extra clearance above the existing gutter
• More open, spacious feel
• Twinwall infill maintains natural light
• Helps bring light into the adjoining living area

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most patios, verandahs and carports in Victoria require a building permit—especially when they are attached to the house or exceed certain size or height limits. Us at Livin Renovations can manage the full permit process, including drawings, engineering and council or private building surveyor approvals.
Costs vary depending on size, design, materials and site conditions. As a general guide, patio and carport projects can range from budget-friendly options to fully customised designs. A professional site assessment and quote will give you an accurate price with no surprises.
Once permits are approved and materials are ready, most Stratco patios and carports are installed within a few days. The overall timeline depends on design complexity, weather and permit approvals, which can take several weeks.
Patio - A roofed outdoor area, often attached to the house
Pergola - Typically open or partially covered
Verandah - A roofed structure that usually runs along the front or side of a home
Yes. Patios and carports can be either attached to the house or freestanding. Attached structures require proper engineering and compliance with building regulations to ensure the home structure is not compromised.
Popular options include, Insulated roofing (Cooldek), Outback Flat roofing, Sunroof, Polycarbonate roofing for natural light.
The right choice depends on insulation needs, budget and the look you want to achieve.
Yes. Stratco systems are fully customisable, allowing homeowners to choose roof styles, colours, spans and layouts to suit their home and block. At best we can integrated two or more different roofing to provide you the best solution that is weatherproof with all year around usability.
This is the most common question we get asked. The truth is not all structures will add value to your home. A well-designed and expertly installed outdoor structure increases usable living space, improves street appeal and can significantly boost resale value - especially in Melbourne’s lifestyle-focused market.
Using an authorised Stratco installer ensures your patio, verandah or carport is designed, engineered and installed exactly to Stratco standards. This protects your investment and gives you confidence that the structure will perform as intended for years to come.
Yes, at Livin Renovations we manage the entire approval process, including drawings, engineering, permits and inspections-so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or council confusion. Having said that, if you have preference for your own building draftsman and building surveyor, we would be more than glad to work alongside them to ensure the process is smooth and efficient.
Most Stratco products come with long manufacturer warranties on materials, and we provide 10 year installation warranties for peace of mind.
Yes. Many patios and verandahs are designed to allow future additions like lighting, ceiling fans or outdoor heaters. Planning this early is highly recommended as it can be very cost effective at the build stage and end results look seamless.
Stratco patios and carports are very low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning and inspections will keep them looking great for years.
