Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Our Deakin pergolas are specifically designed for year-round use and feature features that address Canberra’s seasonal extremes. Options include adjustable roofing systems, integrated heating elements, wind barriers, and strategic orientation to maximise seasonal comfort.
A pergola typically features an open or semi-open roof structure supported by columns, while a patio generally refers to a paved outdoor area that may be covered or uncovered. In Deakin homes, we often combine elements of both to create comprehensive outdoor living solutions.
Our Deakin pergolas incorporate strategic design elements like proper drainage systems, wind-resistant structural reinforcement, UV-protected materials, and adaptable roofing options. Each structure is engineered to handle Canberra’s specific challenges, including heavy frost, intense summer heat, and occasional severe storms.
Maintenance requirements depend on the materials chosen, but most Deakin pergolas need only basic seasonal care. This typically includes occasional cleaning, checking and tightening fixings annually, and applying protective coatings to timber elements every 3-5 years. We provide detailed maintenance guides upon completion.
We recommend premium hardwoods like spotted gum or high-grade aluminium systems with specialised UV-resistant coatings for Deakin properties. These materials withstand Canberra’s extreme temperature variations and intense sunlight while maintaining their appearance and structural integrity for decades.
