Why choose the Outback Flat Roof?

flower_fill

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

Your patio or deck should feel like an extension of your home, but without proper shelter, it’s often too exposed to use comfortably. A flat pergola roof creates a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, giving you a functional, sheltered space perfect for relaxing or entertaining year-round.

Year-Round Weather Protection

An uncovered deck or patio is often unusable due to harsh sun, wind, or rain, making outdoor plans unreliable. A flat pergola roof provides full weather protection, shielding your space while maintaining an open, airy feel.

Low-Maintenance Upgrade

Temporary covers and awnings wear out quickly and often look out of place. A modern flat roof shelter offers a sleek, architecturally designed solution, built with durable, low-maintenance materials that enhance your home while requiring minimal upkeep.

Outback Flat Roof Case Studies

Real feedback from real people who love their outdoor transformation.

My wife and I purchased the new custom design deck roof from The Outdoor Room Company in Whangarei. It was a great buying experience though to the installation and completion of this job. The Sales Manager Joshua made the sale experience very customer focused while Dan the Project Manager delivered the roof project perfect, nothing was a problem with any design issues from the factory. The delivery of the final product was outstanding. Would highly recommend Tim Dow and his team from The Outdoor Room Company for all your outdoor areas..

I love my outdoor flat roof. It provides shelter from rain and UV while letting plenty of light through. No need to put up an umbrella under the roof like I see my friends needing to do with their glass roofs. The install team did a superb job, taking care to get it set up right. We needed a couple of follow up visits and they were equally handled efficiently special mention of Ashley for the organising and Adam for executing the follow up jobs. ..

Chris has been awesome to deal with from the start, with great advice on product, communication and then delivering the finished product weeks earlier than originally planned. The installers Lewis and Adam all the way from Hamilton were similarly excellent workers, courteous and considerate, and did a fantastic job. Were delighted with the new outdoor room, already enjoying the benefits. I highly recomend this company and team for your outdoor space..

This is the second roof weve had installed by the Outdoor Room Company. Its a great product. Huge thanks to Dan, Steve and the team for a brilliant job, nice to have such a great bunch of people onsite. We found them to be extremely knowledgeable of the product, took pride in their work and worked together to find the best solutions to any minor issues that arose. We are very happy with our roof and have since ordered the outdoor furniture.

Outback Flat Roof FAQs

Everything you need to know before creating your perfect outdoor space.

What materials are used in the flat roof system?

The Outback Flat Roof uses high-tensile steel panels and a powder-coated steel frame, designed for durability and low maintenance in New Zealand conditions.

Can the flat roof be installed over an existing deck or patio?

Yes, it can be installed over existing decks, patios, or paved areas, whether as a freestanding structure or attached to your home via fascia or wall mounts.

What wind zones can the flat roof handle?

The flat roof is able to handle up to Very High wind zones, which covers a majority of New Zealand. Every customer's wind zone is checked during consultation and the zone is taken into consideration for design purposes.

What is the maximum span the roof can achieve without extra supports?

The roof can span up to 4.5 metres unsupported, with the option to go wider using additional beams or posts, depending on your layout and requirements.

Can this roof be combined with other features like outdoor blinds or shutters?

Absolutely. The flat roof integrates seamlessly with Ziptrak blinds, shutters, and lighting, allowing for full enclosure and additional wind or sun protection.

Is council consent required for a flat roof installation?

In some cases council consent may be needed. We’ll help guide you through the process if required.

What colours are available for the flat roof system?

While roofing panels come in a limited range of neutral, modern tones, the frame can be colour-matched to complement your home exterior.

How long does installation typically take?

Most projects are completed within a few days, depending on site access and weather. Our team will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
