Custom pergolas
and patio roofs
for Waikato homes
Create a sheltered outdoor area that looks good, works hard and gives you more ways to enjoy your home.
Waikato Shade Solutions designs and installs Stratco pergolas and patio roofs across Waikato, Thames and Coromandel, with custom solutions for entertaining, relaxing and everyday living.
Shelter that feels
like part of the home
A well designed pergola or patio roof can transform the way you use your outdoor area. It can turn an exposed deck into a dining space, create a covered BBQ area or make your patio feel more connected to your indoor living.
We install custom Stratco outdoor roofing systems designed to suit your property, lifestyle and preferred look. From simple covered areas to more architectural outdoor living spaces, we help you choose the right option and complete the installation professionally.
Why install a pergola or patio roof?
01. Create more usable space
A covered outdoor area gives your family more room to relax, entertain and enjoy the home.
02. Add protection from sun and rain
A pergola or patio roof helps create a more comfortable outdoor area by providing shelter from harsh sunlight and light rain.
03. Improve the look of your home
A well-designed pergola or patio roof can enhance the overall appearance of your property while creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living areas.
04. Support entertaining and everyday living
A pergola or patio roof creates a versatile outdoor space that can be enjoyed for family gatherings, outdoor dining or everyday relaxation.
05. Customise the result
Pergolas and patio roofs can be customised to suit your home, lifestyle and outdoor space.

Built for comfort, function and a clean finish
The best outdoor roof is not just the one that covers the most area. It is the one that works with your home.
We consider how the new structure will connect to your existing roofline, where posts and beams should sit, how much light you want to keep and how the finished space will feel day to day.
This design-led approach helps create a patio or pergola that feels considered rather than added on.

Pergola And Patio Roof FAQs
01. What is the difference between a pergola and a patio roof?
The terms are often used in similar ways, but generally a patio roof provides more complete shelter, while a pergola can refer to a wider range of outdoor structures. We can help you choose the right product for your space.
02. Can the design be matched to my home?
Yes. Pergolas and patio roofs are available in a variety of styles, colours and finishes to suit different types of homes.
03. Do you install fixed outdoor roofs?
04. Can outdoor blinds be added later?
Yes. In many cases, outdoor blinds can be added to an existing pergola or patio roof at a later stage. This is a great way to increase privacy, improve weather protection and create a more comfortable outdoor space as your needs change over time.
