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.

The Outdoor Room company did a fabulous job turning our sea view facing balcony into a slick outdoor room that we can use all year round. Joe helped us choose the best solution for our small space so that we could be sheltered from the elements whilst ensuring consistency with the overall house aesthetic. We are delighted with the result. Joe and his installing team were reliable, punctual and friendly and the job was completed in a timely manner. I wouldnt hesitate to use this company again when it comes to landscaping our back yard and installing a louvre roof outdoor room..
