Freestanding Louvres & Timber Pergolas
However, while an attractive and modern option, the insulated pergola can be much for those with a more traditional approach to outdoor building and furnishings. Both methods are correct. Here at Austek, we’re proud to cater to both.

Austek has diverse modern pergolas to suit every style and budget. Do you want something straightforward and no fuss? Why not consider our range of outdoor louvres, simple aluminium structures that provide shelter? Are you looking for a pergola builder near you?

FAQs
How much does a pergola cost in Sydney?
Depending on size, materials, and the overall complexity of the design, a pergola in Sydney may cost between $2500 and $12000. A basic but sturdy timber structure will likely cost between $3000 and $6000 total, with additional add-ons costing more (electrics, heating, walled spaces, etc.). Speaking with a specialist pergola builder before commencing a project is one of the best ways to ensure you keep costs manageable.
What is the best timber for a pergola?
There really is no “best” timber to construct your pergola with. It all depends on available funds and intended function. Treated Pine is a popular option for its cost-friendly and termite/rot-resistant nature. While hardwoods like Spotted Gum, Ironbark, Blackbutt, Jarrah, or Merbau offer greater longevity at a higher cost.
Is it cheaper to build a pergola or buy one?
Building your own pergola, rather than paying professional pergola builders to install one, is often considered the cheaper option. However, if you lack the same skills as those specialists, simple mistakes might start to add up and increase the overall cost. For greater peace of mind, quality, and compliance, hiring experienced pergola installers is usually a wise choice.
What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
Put simply, a pergola offers partial shade and breezy ambience, while a gazebo is designed for full shelter from sun and rain. Going into further detail, gazebos are often freestanding with an enclosed feel to them, whereas pergolas are often attached to the house (not always) and are designed for maximum airflow. Pergolas also possess an art installation quality, enhanced by climbing plants and optional carvings, whilst a gazebo is more often a solution without the same aesthetic vibe. Gazebos often come in a pop-up variant for ease of movement; pergolas are generally static.
What is a pergola?
A pergola is an outdoor open-air structure with either a slatted roof or a roof formed from climbing foliage, for partial to full shade and maximum airflow. They can be attached to the house or free-standing, and make for excellent entertaining areas when guests visit, especially with the addition of extra lighting and/or heating. Adding a pergola to your home in Sydney makes a statement and increases the value of your property too.
What is a roofed pergola called?
A pergola with a solid roof might be called a pavilion. It can also be called a patio cover or simply a pergola with a solid roof. A pergola with an adjustable roof could be called a louvred pergola or an operable pergola. Traditional pergolas most often have latticed roofs for a modern minimalist aesthetic, or roofs formed from foliage for a natural (or even cottage-core) aesthetic. Professional pergola builders will be aware of these terms and can help you decide which variant best suits your home.
Can I put a pergola over my pool?
You absolutely can put a pergola near your pool or directly over it to create shade or enhance your privacy, but you will want to plan carefully. You need to ensure pool fencing compliance and make sure there are no climbable areas that may lead to nasty accidents. You will also need to consider using materials that are chlorine and moisture-resistant. You may also need to consider a custom design to fit the shape of your pool, which is where pergola specialist assistance comes in handy.
How much does it cost to build a 20x20 pergola?
A 20-foot by 20-foot (or roughly 6m by 6m) pergola should cost you between $6000 and $25000, depending on whether you choose a DIY kit or a professional install, and whether you choose simple materials like timber or a high-end full metal louvre system. Other cost factors might include lighting and additional electrics, custom finishes, and heating.
Which is cheaper, a pergola or an awning?
Awnings are usually cheaper than a pergola because they are simple, wall-mounted structures requiring fewer overall materials. A pergola is a larger, potentially freestanding structure requiring more work to construct. Awnings can be set up quite quickly, for immediate shade and protection from mild weather, while pergolas are a more permanent and durable outdoor feature.
What's the disadvantage of a flat roof?
While some choose a flat roof for their pergola in Sydney as a modernist statement or for cost benefits, doing so increases the risk of water pooling and drainage issues, which can then lead to a sharp decrease in structural longevity. Flat roofs are also more likely to trap warm air underneath, causing your pergola to feel stuffy and uncomfortable. If you live in a colder area, this drawback might not affect you, so the choice is yours.
How to slope a flat pergola roof?
You can give your flat pergola roof a slight incline by adding furring strips or shims to the top of existing support beams. Doing so immediately increases drainage efficiency, leading to less water damage over time, so you can enjoy your pergola for longer. It will also allow for trapped heat to escape, making for a much more comfortable space in warmer months of the year.
