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.

Outback Flat Roof Case Studies

Real feedback from real people who love their outdoor transformation.

Ive just had a Flat Roof installed over my deck on an old state house in Hamilton. The final result is outstanding. I had a few quotes from other companies but it was the design and look of their flat roof that suited the age of the house. Modern connected with old. It completely changes the rear of the house, adds value and means outdoor living will now be year round. I wish Id done this years ago. Ashley and his 2 hard working installers, Adam and Lewis were amazing. They were able to problem solve the unique challenges of an 80 yr old house and installation only took 2 days. I would totally recommend The Outdoor Room Company. Great product, sturdy look and style and outstanding customer service. Well done The Outdoor Room Company..

From the very first consultation to the completion of the Flat Top Roof, our experience has been to the highest level of professionalism. The product is superior quality and it has turned out better than we ever imagined it could. Thank you for your high quality service. Even a builder who said he usually gets contracted to build wooden versions said its the best one hes ever seen and he would have one installed on his own house. Great recommendation, right..

So far so good. Were through the first stage of the project with the roof now installed, on time and on budget. Next stage is the delivery and installation of the mesh walls. At this stage, we cannot speak highly enough of The Outdoor Room Company team. The communication has been great and everyone weve come into contact with, both onsite and on the other end of the phone, has been a real pleasiure to deal with. The team is very thorough, but not too technical for a visual person like me. Daniel visited us onsite to talk us through the best options and design for our space so it was easy to visualise and make decisions. The onsite installation team Steve, Richard and Mike worked efficiently really professional, with a good sense of humour thrown in. The roof installation was over two days, real perfectionists and very tidy. Already the roof has made a huge difference to our outdoor living space. No more getting wet when trying to barbecue and a nice sheltered seating area to enjoy afterwork cocktails. The outdoor roof looks like part of the house structure, it integrates well as if its always been there. Thanks guys. Were looking forward to the next stage..

We love our new shady outside area. Right from the start these guys were great to work with. When it came to installation Ashley, Adam and Vin didnt muck around, they were focussed on the job and pleasant to have around my home. The metal and opaque panels work well giving the needed shade but light into the area also. A great product..

Outback Flat Roof FAQs

Everything you need to know before creating your perfect outdoor space.

What materials are used in the flat roof system?

The Outback Flat Roof uses high-tensile steel panels and a powder-coated steel frame, designed for durability and low maintenance in New Zealand conditions.

Can the flat roof be installed over an existing deck or patio?

Yes, it can be installed over existing decks, patios, or paved areas, whether as a freestanding structure or attached to your home via fascia or wall mounts.

What wind zones can the flat roof handle?

The flat roof is able to handle up to Very High wind zones, which covers a majority of New Zealand. Every customer's wind zone is checked during consultation and the zone is taken into consideration for design purposes.

What is the maximum span the roof can achieve without extra supports?

The roof can span up to 4.5 metres unsupported, with the option to go wider using additional beams or posts, depending on your layout and requirements.

Can this roof be combined with other features like outdoor blinds or shutters?

Absolutely. The flat roof integrates seamlessly with Ziptrak blinds, shutters, and lighting, allowing for full enclosure and additional wind or sun protection.

Is council consent required for a flat roof installation?

In some cases council consent may be needed. We’ll help guide you through the process if required.

What colours are available for the flat roof system?

While roofing panels come in a limited range of neutral, modern tones, the frame can be colour-matched to complement your home exterior.

How long does installation typically take?

Most projects are completed within a few days, depending on site access and weather. Our team will provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
