Pergolas are “the heart and soul” of a great Australian backyard. Custom designed and constructed using PermaPine or hardwood ensures the warmth of timber will permeate into your Australian lifestyle. If you select to paint your pergola we will apply two coats of outdoor paint to the timbers before erection and then once installed, all nail holes and imperfections will be filled. A third coat of paint will then be applied to cover all finger marks leaving an impeccable final finish. If it’s a hardwood appearance you desire, then optimizing its bold and beautiful characteristics with lanolin oil is the way to go. More often than not a pergola will be attached to the existing house fascia. This can pose a problem due to increased water capacity being placed on the existing gutter and this is why we give our clients the option of a “heavy duty” box gutter using custom designed rafter brackets to ensure that even when a large downfall of rain occurs – there are never any leaks. Quality, appearance and structural integrity are non-negotiables for us here at MAKOTO Building Services. With a meticulously installed Pergola you will have a modern outdoor area that adds another dimension to your Adelaide home.
