Patioland Hornsby Avalon Insulated Gable
Case Study – Outdoor Living Area, Avalon
Our clients here had recently purchased the property as they were ‘down sizing’ & looking to be closer to their family in the area. They approached Patioland after being recommended to us by another trade already on side. The clients already had Complying Development approval & plans drafted, however weren’t entirely comfortable with the specifications provided on the plans.

Before photo – No existing covered area to entertain. Notice how all of the outdoor furniture is covered.
Patioland was able to introduce them to a combination of materials that provided a high quality of finish & a quicker build than originally advised – the Colorbond structure limited the framing originally specified & combined with the insulated roofing sheets, provided a ‘clean’ & open finish.
By incorporating the installation of down light fittings & fans to the structure, it gives the owners a truly flexible outdoor living area that they can use comfortably all year round.
