Freestanding Patios for the Sunshine Coast
Freestanding patios: Perfect for pools, backyards, and open spaces.
Why Choose Freestanding Patios?
Freestanding patios aren’t attached to your home, so you can put them exactly where you want them. Place it by the pool, out in the yard, beside a shed, or create your own outdoor room. It gives you shade and shelter without changing your home’s roofline.
If you want more space but don’t need a direct connection to the house, this is a simple, clean and practical option.
