When you live in Dubbo or anywhere across Central West NSW, having a functional outdoor space makes all the difference. Whether it’s for weekend BBQs, a bit of shade on hot afternoons, or simply a spot to relax with family, a well-designed patio can transform your backyard.
Here are 5 patio designs that work brilliantly for homes right across the region:
1. Flyover Patios for Maximum Airflow
Flyover patios are one of the most popular options across Central West NSW. By sitting higher than your existing roofline, they allow more air to circulate – which is a big advantage during our hot summers. The elevated design also creates a sense of extra space, making even smaller outdoor areas feel open and inviting.
Perfect for:
- Entertaining spaces
- Homes with existing eaves or low rooflines
- Keeping cooler in summer
2. Insulated Patios for Year-Round Comfort
Central West weather can be extreme – stinking hot in summer and chilly in winter. Insulated patio roofing helps regulate the temperature under your patio, making it usable all year. The insulation helps block radiant heat in summer, while also offering some thermal protection in the cooler months.
Perfect for:
- Year-round entertaining
- Families who want maximum comfort
- Outdoor dining areas
3. Flat Roof Patios for a Clean, Modern Look
Flat roof patios give a simple, contemporary look that works well with many modern home designs. They’re also ideal if you want to build a patio up against an existing wall or fence. With clean lines and a minimalist feel, flat roof patios are low-maintenance while still providing excellent shelter.
Perfect for:
- Modern homes
- Compact backyard spaces
- Low-maintenance outdoor areas
4. Gable (Pitched) Patios for Extra Light & Air
A pitched roof or gable patio adds both character and practicality. The angled design allows for more natural light to flow into the space while improving airflow. Visually, it can also give your patio a grander feel, making it look more like an extension of your home rather than an add-on.
Perfect for:
- Homes wanting a more ‘open’ outdoor feel
- Creating an all-weather entertaining area
- Larger entertaining spaces
5. Custom Patio Designs to Suit Your Home
Every property is a little different. That’s why we also build fully custom patios to suit your exact block, roofline, and lifestyle. Whether you need an L-shaped patio, something to wrap around your pool, or a combination of roofing styles – custom designs give you full flexibility.
Perfect for:
- Unusual block shapes or sizes
- Homes with pools or multiple outdoor zones
- Those wanting a unique design
