Patio Roofing materials
Metal roofing options
Aluminium, steel and other metal materials can be used to build your patio roof. As the best choice for durable roofing, a factory-painted metal patio roof is great for protection from all weather elements.
Steel and aluminium supporting structures and roof frameworks are easy to install and easy to look after. Patios constructed from steel and aluminium will last significantly longer than non-metal materials such as timber, cloth and bamboo.
Colorbond roofing
Colorbond steel as a patio roofing material is another excellent choice for your outdoor area. With a great range of colours and the ability to be made into many roof types, colorbond steel is a high quality material known for its strength and life span.
Colorbond steel is a popular option for patio roofing as it offers a huge range of factory-painted colours. This allows you to match your new patio to the existing colours of your home.
Colorbond steel patio roofing is also a great choice for it’s durability, with most roofing panels offering warranties of up to 30 years, you can be sure that your outdoor roof will provide you with protection for years to come.

Other patio roof materials
Following decades of experience designing and installing outdoor roofing solutions for our customers, we understand which materials offer the best results for looks, function, and longevity. Sometimes, our customers will ask us to incorporate other materials, these may include:
Timber materials: Using wood provides a great natural element to your outdoor space. However, it is a lengthier process for installation. Care and maintenance can also be more time-consuming. Timber patios will require staining or coating to protect them from the elements and ensure they last.
Fabric materials: Fabric patio covers are the cheapest available material to use for a patio roof, as they are simple to install and easily supplied. This roofing material is considered to be a temporary solution for your patio roof as it does not provide adequate protection from the elements, is not weather resistant and does not have a high level of structural integrity.
Woven bamboo materials: For a more organic feel to your outdoor patio, a woven bamboo roof may be the perfect option. Although it does not provide necessary protection from rain or other weather conditions, a bamboo roof can bring a great natural feel to your outdoor space.
What is the best patio roofing material?
Patio designs, configurations and materials can vary significantly so it is important to consider how you will use your patio and outdoor area to determine which patio materials will be best suited.
If you prefer outdoor areas with natural light and sun exposure, a louvered patio roof may be your best option. If you would like to enjoy your patio regardless of the temperature, insulated patio roofing will be the more appropriate option.
How will you use the patio?
Trueline makes choosing the right material for your patio easy. During your free design consultation, we will help you determine the best materials to use for your patio. We’ll cover the following:
Your climate and region
In Australia, our climate plays a big role in determining how your outdoor space can look and feel all year round. Your patio is designed to protect your outdoor areas from the elements.
For locations with heavy rainfall, we suggest considering peaked or lean-to roofing. These options include a gabled roof, pyramid roof or skillion roof. These roof types ensure there is appropriate water drainage and guttering for the amount of water that will fall on your roof.
Patio budget
Your budget is a big factor to think about when designing your patio and patio roof. Both the materials the type of roof can affect the price of new outdoor roof.
Choosing roofing materials that are ‘more affordable’, such as vinyl or fabric may save you money initially, but often they may not be last as long as steel or aluminium.
Investing in quality materials such as steel, aluminium and wood allows for your patio to thrive in harsh weather conditions and last for years to come.
Patio designs
Finally, it is always important to consider aesthetics when choosing your design and structure. Our design consultation will help you answer the following questions:
How do you want your outdoor area to look?
Consider whether there are any specifics that you have in mind for your patio design. Think about the size, shape and configuration of your backyard. Also consider whether there are any obstacles to building your ideal design.
Are there design elements in your home you wish to match?
Take a look at your home, and determine whether there are any existing design features or styles you wish to emulate take outdoors! We recommend looking both inside and outside of the house. Elements like your current roof colour, shape and pitch can be used as inspiration.
Whichever patio materials you choose, Trueline will provide you with advice and support along the way.
