Invest In Market Leading Quality

Available in a wide range of high gloss colours to complement your home, the Stratco Outback Patio features the sturdy Outback Deck, a steel roofing sheet with a clean, smooth underside that has a 'ceiling-like' finish.

This unique roofing material can span up to 4.5 metres, allowing the support beams to be placed far apart for a clean, uncluttered finish to your patio. The structure is formed with strong and elegant, chamfered and fluted beams and columns. Matching gutters tie the system together, while hidden fixing points and concealed brackets complete the smooth and refined appearance.

Your lifestyle, your choice, your design combination.

Maintenance: Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the good looks of all Stratco steel products and to ensure you receive the maximum life-span possible in your area. Washing with clean water must be frequent enough to prevent the accumulation of dust, salts, and pollutants or any other material that will reduce the life of the product. Stratco steel products that are regularly washed by rain require no additional maintenance. No Stratco steel structure or materials are recommended for use over, or in close proximity, to swimming pools or spas. No material that retains water (such as dirt or paving sand) should be placed against the columns. Care must be taken when determining the location of Stratco steel products so that they are not placed in close contact with sources of pollution or environmental factors that could affect the life of the steel. Refer to the 'Selection, Use and Maintenance' brochure for more information.

Design Considerations

Curved units attached between a flat or Sunroof unit and an existing structure

Curved units which are attached between a flat or Sunroof unit (excluding pergolas) and an existing house, are only considered attached if the curved unit is attached to the existing house (C) for its full length (L) and the longest side of the combined unit (B) does not exceed twice the curved unit length (L). The flat or Sunroof unit in this case can be considered attached. This style requires all coloumns to be embedded into footings.

The unit is considered attached if:  B = 2 L or less, and C = L

Curved units attached to a flat or Sunroof unit on one or both sides

Curved units which are attached on one or both sides to flat or Sunroof units, (excluding pergolas) must be attached to a house for at least 75% of the curved opening length (O) to be considered attached. Flat or Sunroof units must be deemed attached as detailed in the flat or Sunroof unit section below for the curved unit to be considered attached.

Curved units are considered attached on both sides if both the flat 1 and 2 comply with the attachment rules for flat or Sunroof units as detailed below. Curved units are considered attached on one side if only one flat or Sunroof unit exists and it complies with the attachment rules for flat or Sunroof units as detailed below.

The gable | curved unit is considered attached if:  C = 0.75 of O or more

Design Options

When designing an Outback Patio, consideration should be given to both the roof sheet direction, and the orientation of any openings and overhangs involved. These are often determined by appearence and drainage requirements. Some of the normal configurations are shown below. Contact Stratco if assistance is required.

Attached to a wall or fascia on one side only.

Rear attached to a wall or fascia (full length).

Attached to a flat or Sunroof unit on one side and a wall or fascia on one end.

Attached both sides to the flat or Sunroof unit and the wall or fascia on the opposite side.

Note: When attaching curved patios to Sunroof units, please refer to 'The Rules of Attachment to Standard Outback Systems' in the 'Outback Sunroof Span Tables Book'.
