Gable and Timber Patios in Gilston
A pitched gable roof with exposed timber rafters feels more like a room than a cover. It is a carpentry job as much as a roofing one.

Building a timber gable patio
Gable patios are framed on site from hardwood or treated pine, with rafters running up to a ridge beam. Left exposed under a lined or open ceiling, the timber gives a warm look that suits weatherboard and rural-style homes.
The extra framing costs more than a flat skillion, but you get more height and a better-looking roof.
Timber patio details
Hardwood or treated pine
Hardwood is stronger and more durable outdoors. Treated pine is cheaper and suits painted finishes.
Gable infill
The triangle at the gable end can be left open, battened or clad to suit the house.
Finishing and oiling
Exposed timber needs oil or paint to protect it. We can finish it during the build.
Why choose Orange Projects
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.
Materials and fixings are chosen for Gold Coast sun, storms and, near the water, salt air, which is what determines whether a structure still looks good in ten years.
Our process
- 01
Site inspection
We walk the yard with you, check the roof line, ground levels, sun path and where posts can realistically land, and talk through how you want to use the space.
- 02
Design and material selection
We settle the style, roofing type, timber or steel structure, ceiling treatment and finishes, and confirm anything that affects price before quoting.
- 03
Fixed-price written quote
You receive an itemised quote covering structure, roofing, fixings, engineering where required, electrical coordination and site clean-up.
- 04
Engineering and approvals where needed
Where a structure needs an engineer's design or building approval, we organise the documentation and certification as part of the job.
- 05
Construction
Footings, frame, roofing, guttering and finishing carpentry, worked around your household rather than taking over the property.
- 06
Handover
Final walkthrough, defect check, clean site and any certificates or product warranties handed over with the invoice.
