Berwick / Aluminium Pergola & Backyard Decking

The site and the problem
Exposed soil and a wet concrete area made the backyard difficult to use after rain. Without a roof or an even floor, there was little practical space for outdoor furniture and family gatherings.
What the client needed
- Create a clean, level entertaining surface.
- Connect the house, deck and garden access.
- Add rain cover while retaining daylight.
Design and installation approach
The raised deck establishes a level surface above the previously muddy ground. Its footprint, steps and edges follow the available backyard space and access route.
An aluminium roof frame covers the main entertaining zone. Translucent panels admit light, while the roof layout and rainwater management address overhead runoff. The sides remain open.
The result
The renovation provides a defined dining and relaxation area with a more practical transition from the house to the backyard. Overhead cover improves its usefulness in changing weather, although wind-driven rain can still enter at the sides.
