Outdoor Living
Experience the best of outdoor living with a range of lifestyle solutions offered in the Stratco Outback® Verandah, Patio or Carport. Open your home to the outside and create a space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Under the canopy of a Stratco Outback you are protected from the elements, expanding the possibilities for entertaining, storage or enjoying the garden.
Invest in Quality
Available in a wide range of high gloss colours to complement your home, the Stratco Outback features the sturdy Outback Deck, a steel roofing sheet with a clean, smooth underside that has a ‘ceiling-like’ finish. It can span up to 4.5 metres, allowing the support beams to be placed well apart for a clean, uncluttered finish. The structure is formed with strong and elegant, chamfered and fluted beams and columns. Matching gutters tie the system together, while hidden fixing points and concealed brackets complete the smooth and refined appearance. The durable Stratco Outback will be a lasting investment. It is protected by a fifteen year structural guarantee*, and when installed by an Authorised Outback Dealer you are covered by a one year installation guarantee. The Stratco Outback range has been engineered and tested to comply with all relevant Australian Standards. The major components are made from strong high tensile steel, while the fixings and brackets are galvanised for a long useable life.
Choosing a Design
Design freedom is central to the versatile Stratco Outback. The Outback range is designed as a complete system so all of the styles displayed on the following pages can be combined into a format that will suit your home, lifestyle and budget.
Outback Flat Roof
Create a functional outdoor living area that will enhance your home and lifestyle with the smooth, simple, uncluttered lines of the classic Outback Flat Roof. The versatile Outback Flat Roof system can be configured to cover any area around the home. It is ideal as a single unit or incorporated with a gable roof, curved roof, or pergola system. Available as either a freestanding structure or attached to the home it can be used as a verandah, patio or carport. With the addition of the Outback Rooflite™ you can supply filtered light to the underside. The beams can span up to 8.4 metres and are available in either 120mm or 150mm sizes.
There are four configurations to choose from. Type One has a 4.5 metre maximum span and only requires an outside beam to support the structure, although most units use perimeter beams on all sides to provide the best appearance. Type Two is the same, but with an overhang at the front to increase the span to 5.1 metres. Type Three has support beams across the span so the roof sheets can run horizontally for a different appearance. Type Four has extra support beams and a purlin through the middle to give it a span of 8.4 metres. Uncomplicated by design, the Outback Flat Roof is the ideal do-it-yourself project, with everything supplied as a package and all the assembly instructions provided.
Outback Curved
Outback Curved Roof
The contemporary form of the Outback Curved Roof Verandah, Patio or Carport will add value and impart a sense of style and sophistication to your home. The smooth, clean lines of the curved
roof form a graceful canopy over any outdoor area. The curved roof can span up to 6.6 metres wide in both Multispan and Clearspan designs. It is available as a unit attached to the home. When combined with flat roof or pergola sections it becomes part of a system, with the elegant curved roof forming the central feature of the design. Outback Rooflites are also available to supply natural filtered light when Outback Deck is used in Clearspan designs.
Multispan
The Outback Multispan Curved Roof has purlins that are placed over the rafters in the roof. This supports your choice of cladding; smooth Outback Deck, light and airy polycarbonate, or classic corrugated steel.
Clearspan
The Outback Clearspan Curved Roof minimises beams and rafters through the use of Outback Deck. Outback Deck is a very strong material that does not need extra purlins to support it. This leaves the roof area clean and uncluttered with a ceiling like appearance from beneath.
Outback Gable
Outback Gable
Exhibiting a strong presence and style, the pitched roof of an Outback Gable Verandah, Patio or Carport is endowed with an open feel that will enrich your home and outdoor entertainment area.
The Outback Gable is available as a freestanding unit or attached to the home. Combine it with flat roof or pergola sections and the prominent pitched roof becomes the main feature of the arrangement. The Outback Gable is available as a Multispan or Clearspan design. Match the Outback Deck with Outback Rooflites to supply natural filtered light.
Multispan
An Outback Multispan Gable features purlins that are placed over the rafters in the roof. This supports the cladding, which can be the smooth Outback Deck, light and airy polycarbonate, or classic corrugated steel. The gable roof can span up to 6.6 metres wide on a Multispan design.
Clearspan
The Outback Clearspan Gable only uses the Outback Deck, which is a very strong material and does not need the extra purlins to support it. This leaves the roof area clean and uncluttered. The Clearspan Gable can span an impressive 7.5 metres wide.
Gazebo and Hip End
Outback Hip End
With an enduring style, the Stratco Outback Hip End will add a traditional charisma to your home. The hip end is an elegant addition that completes the end of an Outback Gable. It has been designed to match the existing architecture of homes with a hip end in the roofline. It can be used to great effect on one or both ends of a gable.
Outback Gazebo End
Exuding charm and character, the Outback Gazebo End adds a new dimension to the end of an Outback Gable. Designed to provide the finishing touch, its distinctive form will impart a refined and elegant air to your home. The Gazebo End has been designed to enhance the appeal of any home, and works especially well on those with bay windows and hexagon forms in the roof design.
Outback Sunroof™
Outback Sunroof™
Control the weather with the innovative Stratco Outback Sunroof. Its electronically controlled louvres can be opened and closed to your desired position. Let the breeze and sunlight in when the weather is fine; and provide protection when the clouds set in. By adjusting the rotating louvres with the hand held remote, the level of sunlight, shade and weather shielding can be controlled. The system has an inbuilt rain sensor that will automatically close the blades if rain is detected. When the louvres are completely shut they form an interlocking profile that protects from the weather.
Superior Design
The Stratco Outback Sunroof can cover openings of up to 3.9 metres thanks to its strong, well engineered blades. The pre-painted steel blades have a unique foam insert that makes them very rigid and helps to insulate from any surrounding noise. The moving parts use specially designed bushes for whisper quiet performance, and the blades are driven by a powerful 24 volt DC linear actuator for reliable long life operation.
The system is designed to be easy to install. The blades come pre-assembled and the mounting extrusions that house the blades come supplied with laser cut square holes for the louvres to fit easily into the framework.
Outback Heritage
Outback Heritage
Add a new dimension to your home and lifestyle with an Outback Heritage Verandah, Patio or Carport. With enduring style and versatility, it offers large spans and long lengths to expand your design options.
Two styles are offered, the Traditional Gable and Dutch Gable. Both are available attached or freestanding and use corrugated iron or polycarbonate as their cladding. The standard eave height is 2.4 metres, but it can be ordered up to three metres high.

Outback Pergola
Outback Pergola
Create an inviting open-air setting that will let the light in and improve the appearance of your home. Add a functional outdoor space to shade and protect recreation areas and delicate plants.
With massive spans of up to eight metres, it is available freestanding or attached. The beams can be left open or fitted with shadecloth for full sun protection. The shadecloth is attached with a special clip for a neat finish. Complete the system with optional profiled beam ends.
Pergola Shade Blade™
Natural filtered light can be created with the innovative Shade Blade system. Designed to attach to your pergola as an angled, fixed blade arrangement, Shade Blade lets the light and breeze in while providing shelter from the sun. The unique blade design has a small gutter to provide protection from light rain.
For added privacy, Shade Blade can be installed as a side screen. When used as a side
screen, the support post centres should be a maximum of 1.2 metres apart.
Outback Accessories
Outback Accessories
To fill the open end of a gable roof, Stratco offer a choice of fibre-cement sheeting, lattice, polycarbonate, perforated colour steel sheet or steel louvres.
Supply filtered light to the underside of your verandah with the Outback Rooflite™. Designed to fit with the Outback Deck, the roof light is made from polycarbonate and features a curved surface to avoid the build-up of debris over the light.
Acclimatise your verandah or patio with the Outback Ventridge. The Ventridge is designed to sit on the crest on an Outback Multispan Gable. The underside is kept cool as the hot air rises and escapes via the ventridge. For added air circulation, install an Outback Ceiling Fan.
Turn your Outback into a twilight entertainment area with the stylish Outback Light Fittings. Position them around the roof. When installed by a qualified electrician they will be the highlight of any night setting. Dress your Outback with the Outback Balustrade, the ideal way to divide your verandah from the garden. Outback Balustrade is an easy to install, tubular style fencing that attaches neatly between the Outback posts.
Maintenance Regular maintenance is essential to maintain the good looks of all Stratco steel products and to ensure you receive the maximum life-span possible in your area. Washing with clean water must be frequent enough to prevent the accumulation of dust, salts, and pollutants or any other material that will reduce the life of the product. Stratco steel products that are regularly washed by rain require no additional maintenance. No Stratco steel structure or materials are recommended for use over, or in close proximity, to swimming pools or spas. No material that retains water (such as dirt or paving sand) should be placed against the columns. Care must be taken when determining the location of Stratco steel products so that they are not placed in close contact with sources of pollution or environmental factors that could affect the life of the steel. Refer to the ‘Selection, Use and Maintenance’ brochure for more information.
