Patio Covers in Bilinga
A patio roof works like a wing in strong wind. On an exposed coastal block, the uplift on the roof is the main thing the design has to handle, so footings and tie-downs get as much attention as the roof itself.

Why choose Orange Projects
Orange Projects is a QBCC-licensed builder (Licence No. 15620733). We confirm the building scope in writing; current licence details and relevant insurance certificates can be requested before work starts.
We inspect the property, then put an itemised fixed price in writing covering structure, roofing, fixings and rubbish removal. No vague allowances.
We are carpenters first, so a structure can be designed around your house rather than trimmed to fit a catalogue kit.
Engineering, footings, structure, roofing, electrical coordination and finishing carpentry are managed by the one team, so nothing falls between trades.
Designing for wind
Every patio we build is designed for the wind classification of the site. On exposed blocks near the beach that rating is usually higher, which means bigger footings, more tie-down brackets and sometimes extra posts.
Where the structure needs engineering, we organise it before we quote a final price. That way the number you sign is based on what the engineer actually requires, not a guess.
Patio options for exposed sites
Attached patios
An attached patio uses the house for support along one side, which helps in wind, but only if the house framing can take the load. We check the fascia and rafters before relying on them.
Freestanding patios
Where the house cannot take the load, or you want the patio away from the house, a freestanding structure stands on its own posts and footings. It needs more posts but does not depend on the house frame.
Screens and blinds
Side screens and outdoor blinds cut wind and afternoon sun. Fixed screens add wind load to the structure, so we allow for them in the design rather than adding them later.
