A pergola is an outdoor structure that can be used to cover a patio or deck, provide shade for your backyard, create a focal point in your garden, or even as additional living space. Besides, a pergola is an easy solution that looks great and will last years longer. There are so many different types of materials that you can choose from when building your own pergola. The most common material used in pergola construction is wood. But if you’re looking for something less expensive but still aesthetically pleasing, steel may be ideal for you!
We use premium materials so you don’t have to worry about rusting, rotting, or warping over time as wooden pergolas do. Plus, our metal frame means it’s perfectly suited for windy locations! Our verandas come with an industry-leading 25 years structural warranty against rot and insect damage, meaning our products should last much longer.
There are so many different styles of pergolas available today that you can choose something completely modern and contemporary including:
Geelong Veranda offers modern and traditional styles of verandas & pergolas made from the highest quality materials designed by leading architects & designers at very competitive prices. You’ll love how our modern designs blend into any environment, adding value without taking away from the existing landscape.

The cost of a pergola in Australia can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size, design complexity, materials used, additional features, and the region you’re located in.
