Why choose a freestanding patio?

Traditional patios are an extension of your home to provide additional outdoor living space, but not every home can support this type of construction. Older builds or unique architectural styles may not be sturdy enough or have the required space to fix or attach a patio cover. In this case, a free standing patio would be the most suitable option.

Structural considerations for building a free standing patio include:

• There is asbestos in the existing structure
• Potential fixing points do not have enough height
• Existing structure is not designed to attach to (such as a shed)
• Existing structure shows compromised structural integrity
• Building on a large block where proximity to access is most practical (such as a caravan or boat cover
• Building on a smaller block where building close to boundary is required and more practical from a building approval perspective
• Design needs to be independent for storm water management

Free standing patios also offer more design freedom in terms of size, placement, and layout. You can choose a look you love without needing to consider how it fits with another structure. That means you can get creative with different styles, shapes, and materials for your new patio.
