Challenge
In August 2025, Sam Outdoor Living received a request from a homeowner in Tarneit, VIC, 3029 to transform a 14-square-meter outdoor area into a stylish and functional space suitable for use throughout the year. The client’s vision required a structure that balanced aesthetic appeal with durability, ensuring comfort and minimal maintenance. After detailed site evaluation and consultation, Sam Outdoor Living proposed a tailored solution built to withstand Victoria’s diverse weather conditions while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance.
Solutions
The project centered around a 6x2.4m flat Colorbond patio system. The design incorporated high-performing materials from Stratco, selected for longevity, strength, and visual harmony. The patio featured Colorbond Trimdek sheet roofing, known for its structural integrity and clean lines, supported by robust Probeam 140x50mm beams. Aluminum posts measuring 90x90mm provided a stable framework resistant to corrosion, while the 160mm edge gutter efficiently managed rainfall to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage. A 780mm fiberglass skylight was seamlessly integrated to allow natural light penetration without compromising coverage, creating a bright yet sheltered atmosphere.

Throughout fabrication and installation, engineering precision guided each stage to ensure exact alignment, load-bearing capability, and weatherproof sealing. The modular approach allowed for quick assembly while maintaining customization based on site layout and client preferences. The final finish combined the industrial strength of Colorbond steel with the refined simplicity of contemporary outdoor design.
Results
Upon completion, the clients gained a versatile space ideal for entertaining, dining, or relaxation. The Colorbond materials provided superior thermal insulation and surface resilience, requiring minimal upkeep while retaining their aesthetic over time. The improved functionality and visual appeal significantly enhanced the property’s overall value and comfort. The clients reported high satisfaction, frequently using the area for gatherings and appreciating the practical elegance of the design.
