At The Patio Factory, we believe that the right patio roof doesn't just protect you from the weather—it transforms your outdoor space into a year-round retreat. As a proudly WA-owned business, we offer a wide selection of quality roofing materials from trusted suppliers like Stratco and Palram. Whether you’re a retiree enjoying garden views, a young couple designing your first alfresco, or a DIY enthusiast planning your next project, we’ll help you choose a patio roof that suits your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic.
