Backyard barbecues with outdoor dining

A high, sleek, modern roof to create the perfect outdoor entertaining area.  Walk straight out from the home to your outdoor dining area, which connects to the backyard.  The perfect place for outdoor entertaining, backyard cricket and Summer barbecues.  It doesn’t have to be a large area to make a huge difference to the home.

A Fun and Bright Area

This pergola uses clear sheeting to cover the exposed timber beams.  The modern style of this pergola will let the light penetrate through to engulf the area below and gives protection and shelter from the elements. It doesn’t have to be a large area to offer another entertaining area or a special place to relax and unwind. Why wouldn’t you want to be outside enjoying the wonderful Queensland climate?
