Timber Pergolas
For an Adelaide pergola, timber is frequently the typical material used. The wood’s natural finish blends well with any landscape and suits contemporary and traditional-style Adelaide homes.
In addition, we can treat the wood to give it a more natural, rustic appearance or paint it to match your house’s colour scheme.
Steel Pergolas
If you want a pergola with the most durability possible, consider a steel pergola. Since we are a certified Stratco Outback builder, all the steel materials we use on our projects have a protective zinc or zinc/aluminium coating.
These coatings guarantee that your steel pergola will be long-lasting and protected against rust and corrosion.
What is the difference between a pergola and a verandah?
Pergolas and verandahs have always been popular features in Australian homes. However, many can find it difficult to differentiate between the two. Of course, each has advantages, but knowing the difference is essential to ensure you select the proper structure for your Adelaide home.
What is a pergola?
Pergolas can be either freestanding or attached to the home, sheltered or open. The term originated as an Italian word, meaning an outdoor structure covered in plants.
Many homeowners are now choosing covered roofing for their pergolas, even if many are still open structures surrounded by climbing vines, so they can use them come rain or shine.
What is a verandah?
Verandahs are permanently attached to the home, whether front, back, side, or all the way around the building. The building’s original purpose was to provide shelter from the country’s intense sunlight and frequent downpours, so verandahs are a common element in many Australian residences.
Do I need planning permission to build a pergola?
When planning to install a pergola on your Adelaide property, knowing whether you require building permits for your new structure can be confusing. We’re here to help you through the entire process.
In South Australia, building regulations stipulate that pergolas with a height of more than 2.5 metres require a building permit.
It’s also important to note that you should engage a registered builder in an appropriate category or class to complete the work. However, you can select to be an owner-builder, but you may need to apply for an owner-builders license.
Our team can help you check in with your local council to determine the exact requirements for your Adelaide area to ensure the approval process is as straightforward and stress-free as possible.
Is it better to attach a pergola to your home? Or have it freestanding?
To make the most of your investment while constructing a pergola for your Adelaide house, you should base your decision on your personal design preferences and way of life.
Below we have detailed a few things to consider when deciding whether to build your new Adelaide pergola attached to your home or have it completely freestanding.
Extending Your Living Space
Attached pergolas are an extension of your living space, facilitating a seamless transition between indoors and out.
Pergolas are Perfect for Weather Protection
Attached pergolas allow you to move quickly from the inside out without worrying about weather conditions.
Attached pergolas benefit from additional shelter because they are adjacent to your home on at least one side, which will shield you from the sun and rain.
For patios facing west or south, a connected pergola’s protection may also extend inside your house, shielding you from glaring sunshine and lowering your need for an air conditioner and energy costs.
Construction
Compared to standalone pergolas, those attached to a house (or other outside structures) are more structurally stable. In addition, they benefit from the building’s solidity, which offers additional weather protection.
Design considerations
Attached pergolas smoothly blend into the style of your house to become a part of it. Using fewer posts, for example, will result in less space on structural components that have the potential to block windows or doors. A less intrusive arrangement also means there will be more available space.
What are the benefits of installing pergolas in Adelaide?
There are numerous benefits to installing pergolas in Adelaide. Firstly, you gain a terrific outdoor space you can enjoy all year. You can add some blinds and enjoy your area when the weather isn’t perfect.
Also, pergolas add value to your home because homebuyers love functional pergolas in their homes. An Adelaide pergola is the perfect choice if you enjoy relaxing outside or entertaining friends.

Are Adelaide pergolas customisable?
Absolutely! Custom pergolas in Adelaide are our specialty. The first step in every consultation is to assess your available space. We listen to your needs and design customised pergolas and decks based on your requirements and open space.
Do I need a permit to install a pergola in Adelaide?
Sometimes, you won’t need a permit to install a pergola, but every situation is slightly different.
We will advise you of any necessary planning approvals during our quoting process.
How long does it take to install a pergola in Adelaide?
It is challenging to give a precise time frame because every home and pergola is different. Factors that can influence the timeframe are site preparation, the complexity of the design, and weather conditions.
When we quote your new Adelaide pergola, we’ll provide an accurate time frame for completion.
What kind of maintenance do Adelaide pergolas need?
Our pergolas in Adelaide require very little maintenance. We use quality materials and finishes that provide excellent UV resistance. However, we recommend regular cleaning to keep your pergola looking its best.
One way to achieve this is by sweeping the floor and mopping it with warm soapy water. You won’t need harsh chemicals, and your pergola should stay in excellent condition for years.
Can I install a pergola myself in Adelaide?
Installing a pergola in Adelaide by yourself is possible. Naturally, the process takes much longer without pergola and deck-building expertise.
You also risk installing something incorrectly, compromising the structure’s safety (and your family’s). As such, unless you have considerable building or DIY experience, we recommend hiring a professional pergola-building team.
What is the cost of pergolas in Adelaide?
Several factors affect how much a pergola will cost. Firstly, fi the pergola has a complex design, it will take longer, which means higher labour costs.
It’s essential to consider the materials when choosing a pergola, as the cost can vary depending on whether you opt for steel or timber. As with anything of variable size, it’s best to ask for a clear and accurate quote.
What are the most common materials for pergolas in Adelaide?
Typically, we use steel, wood, or a combination of these materials to construct our pergolas. We’re authorized Stratco Outback and Pavilion dealers, allowing us to offer pre-made or customized steel pergolas.
But we also offer timber pergolas for a more natural look. Ultimately, it depends on your preference.
Are pergolas suitable for all types of outdoor spaces in Adelaide?
Almost every outdoor area is suitable for constructing a pergola, but it does depend somewhat on the terrain. Ideally, you want a relatively flat surface, but steps can always be incorporated where necessary.
It would help fi you also considered the impact on any existing structures, but there is usually no problem that our team can’t solve.
