Let Stratco Style Your Patio This National Patio Day

This year on National Patio Day, Saturday 5 December, help raise awareness and vital funds for Cancer Council with your loved ones. Let Stratco help you style your Stratco Patio to complete the area in time for your celebration.

We have been living HowTo since the dawn of the 'Great Australia Dream' of homeownership. Stratco ranges the outdoor furniture and appliances to suit every patio and season. Make the most of your outdoor living area and create a beautiful environment for entertaining with family and friends under a stylish Stratco Patio.  We have options to suit every home, location and climate.

Our HowTo Tips

  • Think odd numbers when placing pot plants! Use singularity or group together in sets of 3, 5, 7, 9 etc.
  • Give your outdoor area pizzazz with geometric shapes and intermix colours to suit the occasion.
  • Make large areas vibrant all year round with evergreen plants.
  • Keep your colour palette simple by choosing colours that are already in your garden.
  • Radiate vibrant party vibes all year round by featuring multi-coloured, abstract shaped cushions to your outdoor lounge setting.
  • Bring your entertainment space to life! A fire pit is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with friends.
  • Make use of the peaceful pockets your backyard has to offer with an umbrella!
