Stratco Are The Experts In Custom Designed Patios As Seen On The Block

If you've been watching The Block: Tree Change, you will know that every contestant wants every feature of their home to stand out, be unique and add value.  That's why when The Block contestants needed patios for their Macedon Ranges homes, they came to Stratco!

Take a look at the patio designs for each house below:

House 1 by Tom and Sarah-Jane features a 5m x 3m walkway, covered by a Stratco Outback® Cooldek Flat Patio. The insulated Cooldek roofing with integrated downlights creates a great aesthetic and will keep residents protected from the sun and the rain, day and night, all year round.

Rachel and Ryan have the most customised patio on The Block.  They worked closely with the Stratco Patio Design team to create a unique patio that wraps around 3 sides of the home, combining insulated Cooldek panels with remote controlled louvre roofing.

The 3 louvre banks are fully integrated so that they can all be operated from a single remote control simultaneously.  The louvres also have Stratco lighting integrated into the louvres to ensure their outdoor living space can be enjoyed day and night, all year round.

Rachel and Ryan's decking was built using Stratco Pro-Beam Flooring, providing plenty of strength in the ground to support the build of the patio, which was particularly important in the windy Macedon Ranges.

House 2 also features an 8m x 3m Stratco Outback® Sunroof patio on the end of their Stratco Gabe Roof Shed.

Ankur and Sharon designed a 6m x 4m Stratco Outback® Cooldek Flat Patio. This was a complex build, with the overweight Cooldek roof sitting 5 metres above ground level.  Stratco Pro-Beam flooring was installed, providing additional strength and a solid base for their decking.

In addition to the Outback® Cooldek Patio, house 3 also features an 8m x 3m Stratco Outback® Sunroof Patio on the end of the Stratco Shed and a 16m long x 2m wide Stratco Cooldek covered walkway connecting the shed to the home.  The walkway not only looks great but also provides protection from the sun and rain when moving between the house and the shed.

Omar and Oz in house 5 worked with our design team to create a 8m long x 5m wide Overheight Stratco Outback® Flat Patio with insulated Cooldek roofing.  The decking foundation for the patio area was created using Stratco's Pro-Beam flooring, providing a stable base for a lasting investment in a stunning outdoor entertaining area.

Omar and Oz also selected a Stratco Outback® Sunroof Patio to feature on the end of their shed.  Their louvre roof Patio is 8m x 3m and connects to a covered breezeway.  The breezeway is 10m long and features Stratco's insulated Cooldek roofing.

Scotty worked with the Stratco Patio team to design a 8m x 3m Stratco Outback® Sunroof Patio with a remote controlled louvre roof.  This flows seamlessly into a 10m walkway with Cooldek roofing. Downlights have been integrated into the insulated Cooldek roofing for use day and night, all year round.

The Block Patios Feature Customised Colour Selections

The Stratco Patio team worked closely with The Block architect, Julian on the colour selections. Julian wanted to ensure the patio frame and roofing colours complemented the aesthetics of each house.  Julian was pleased to see we had a broad range of colours to choose from, including the ability to customise the topside and underside colours of each patio roof.
