Why Choose a Stratco Verandah?
A Stratco verandah adds value and comfort to your home. It provides a new space for family gatherings and entertainment.
Stratco steel-roofed patios and verandahs are known for their ergonomic forms and defining designs. They are also known to be robust and durable. The key to this durability lies in the premium quality manufacturing of Stratco products.
High Tensile Steel
High tensile steel has a higher yield and tensile strength than normal mild carbon steel. This means it can withstand a much greater level of stress without deforming. It is made by combining alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, manganese and molybdenum with iron in a furnace.
This process is used to create bicycle frames, and the result is a frame that is lightweight yet durable. High-tensile steel is also used in conveyor parts and gears, and for other industrial applications that require durability and reliability.
It is even used in sports netting to ensure safety and longevity. Stratco pergolas, verandahs and carports are crafted from this material to offer superior performance that will last for decades. It is also long-wearing and corrosion resistant thanks to a galvanised or zinc/aluminium protective coating.
Single Piece Beam
A patio or verandah might seem relatively simple at a glance but there’s a lot of structural engineering that goes into these structures. They need to be able to withstand significant environmental forces and they must perform effectively as well as look good.
Stratco’s patented single piece beam is made from 1.2mm steel – the thickest base metal used in the industry. This provides strength, rigid form and minimises corrosion.
This design innovation makes a Stratco patio the strongest and most robust patio in the market. The 1.2mm thickness also allows the support posts to be placed well apart for a clean and refined finish. Stratco has comprehensive span tables that make designing a patio and preparing council applications quick and easy. SEQ Patio Group can handle all engineering for standard Outback designs and we have access to private certification for bespoke projects, which helps streamline the approval process.
Powder Coated Beams
In the same way that galvanisation protects h-pile and wide flange steel beams from corrosion, powder coating offers added protection. It applies a layer of organic material over the steel, which then bonds with the metal during a heat bake. This forms a hard coating that shields the steel from weathering elements, including salt spray and sunlight.
The powder coated yellow finish on these beams also improves visibility for pedestrians and drivers, ensuring safety for both parties. Additionally, these barriers are often designed to redirect or absorb energy from vehicle impacts.
Embrace the beauty of your backyard with a functional Stratco Outback Pergola. It features a louvre roof that allows you to electronically control sun exposure. Open them up on a sunny winter day, and close them during a cool rainy night.
Comprehensive Span Tables
Stratco uses industry leading comprehensive span tables that cover up to 8.4 metres making designing patios and verandahs as well as preparation of council applications accurate and easy. This is a major factor in achieving fast approvals from council.
These are calculated using the wind speeds for non-cyclonic areas and include local pressures where applicable. Roofing spans take into consideration loads incidental to maintenance and walls are designed to withstand foot traffic loading.
Beams are powder coated for maximum durability and surface protection ensuring a premium look. This is achieved through a detailed process of cleaning and preparation before the powder coating takes place. This also extends the life of the structure. The result is a durable and beautiful finish to your new patio.
15 Year Structural Warranty
Stratco offer a 15 year structural warranty on all their patios, verandahs and carports. This is backed by thorough and continuous testing of all materials and stringent manufacturing controls. This means you can rest assured that your structure will be able to stand up to the harsh Australian climate.
Choosing a quality structure is important for adding value to your home, and ensuring you have peace of mind. Stratco offers a wide range of styles including flat, gable and curved roofs, as well as pergolas and sunroofs, all of which can be attached or freestanding.
A Stratco carport, patio or verandah can open up the outside of your home to create an outdoor living area that can be used all year round. It protects you from the elements and opens up possibilities for entertaining, storage and even an allweather play area for your children.
