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.

Caleb and his team did an incredible job installing our outdoor roof. It keeps us cool in the sunshine and provides shade, unlike the acrylic, glass or PVC roofing options. It simultaneously still allows light into the house. High quality at a fair price. The team are friendly and professional. They work efficiently and cleaned up well once done. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend, you are missing a beat if you dont use these guys. We will be back in touch with the team to get the weather proof curtains done ahead of Winter. Thanks Caleb and Team. We are very happy and have never used our outdoor space so often as we do now..

Fantastic Hamilton crew. From the first consult with Ash who discussed products and measured up to the install crew of Adam and Vin, it was fantastic experience. I naively thought my flat roof would go up in a few hours but due to the attention to detail, care and quality product, it was two days. Adam and Vin worked seamlessly to install and they definitely know what they are doing. They are also really nice guys. Love the final product and highly recommend the Hamilton crew of Ash, Adam and Vin. Thank you..

Absolutely stoked with the roof that has been installed. It looks like it has been there since day 1. Colour scheme on point and matches the house. Inital consultation was easy and samples were appreciated. It was also good that their office in Whangārei has one built so you can actually see it. Longest process was the wait because they have to order it in. Installation wow very quick 2 days max even in the rain. Highly recommend this company and Project Manager Dan and his team. Thank you..

Thank you Outdoor Room Team for building us a wonderful outside space which looks amazing. It fits onto our new home perfectly. It is smart , aesthetically pleasing and practically just what we wanted. The roof shades us from the sun and protects the outdoor furniture from the rain , The blinds are easy to use, also providing protection from the sun and rain and they are transparent enough for us to look at our beautuful view of the surrounding countryside. The colours blend in perfectly with our new house. The team has been efficient with attention to detail and good communication. A great job in spite of the unpredicatable weather. Thank you Ben and team , Mandy and Jonathan.

The Outdoor Room Company have been wonderful to deal with from start to finish. They are responsive, knowledgeable, had attention to detail, considerate, went the extra mile, left the site very tidy, and were patient with our dogs that found tradies onsite a bit too exciting. Theyve created 2 extra living spaces we can now use that we never utilised before, and both roofs have lowered the stifling summer heat in our house much to our relief, without blocking the natural light. Would highly recommend chatting to David to see what magic can be done at your place..

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.
