We particularly like the way we can close the shutters for privacy whilst leaving the top part open for fresh air. Well done Modern.

What sets us apart?
Great question, and one we get all the time. So, let’s clear things up.
A pergola is an open or semi-covered outdoor structure, usually free-standing or attached to the home. It often features slatted roofs or beams, perfect for climbing plants, sunlight control, and breezy aesthetics.
A verandah, on the other hand, is a fully-covered structure that’s attached to the house, usually running along one or more sides. It offers solid protection from the elements and acts like a fully sheltered patio or outdoor room.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | Pergola | Verandah |
| Roof Type | Open or slatted | Fully covered (often Colorbond®) |
| Attachment | Free-standing or attached | Attached to the house |
| Shade/Weatherproof | Partial shade | Full weather protection |
| Design Intent | Decorative, aesthetic | Functional, protective |
| Common Use | Gardens, patios, walkways | Side of the house, decks |

Let’s build your ideal outdoor space — the Adelaide way.
A pergola is typically open or semi-open and more decorative, while a verandah is fully covered and built for protection. Pergolas create ambience, verandahs offer full usability in all weather.
It’s a no-obligation service where our team visits your home, measures your space, and provides a tailored solution that fits your needs, style, and budget.
Yes, in most cases, you will need council approval to enclose a verandah. This is because enclosing a verandah is considered a structural change, which can affect the overall appearance, ventilation, and safety of your home. Each local council has its own regulations, so it’s important to check with your local planning authority before starting any work. You may need to submit plans and obtain a building permit to ensure the enclosure complies with building codes and zoning laws.
A pergola is an outdoor structure designed to enhance your outdoor living space by providing shade, style, and a defined area for relaxation or entertaining. Unlike a fully enclosed room, a pergola features an open roof (often slatted or louvered) supported by posts or columns, allowing sunlight and airflow while offering partial protection from the elements.
Key Purposes of a Pergola:
Shade and Sun Control
Pergolas offer filtered sunlight, helping reduce heat and glare while still allowing you to enjoy the outdoors.
Outdoor Living Extension
They create a natural extension of your home — perfect for alfresco dining, lounging, or hosting guests.
Aesthetic Appeal
Pergolas add architectural interest and boost curb appeal, making your backyard feel more inviting and polished.
Support for Plants
Ideal for climbing vines and greenery, a pergola can double as a garden feature, creating a lush, shaded retreat.
Customisation & Flexibility
You can add retractable canopies, lighting, outdoor blinds, or even roofing for extra comfort and weather protection.
