What Affects Patio Pricing?
Patio Size
The larger the patio, the more materials required — roof area, structural steel, roofing sheets, fixings, flashings and gutters all increase with size.
Patio Style
Flat roof patios are the most economical. Gable patios add headroom, airflow and a premium look. Raised and dome styles offer extra options at varying price points.
Engineering Requirements
All patios should be engineered for their location. Engineering considers wind region, terrain category, roof style, span lengths and connection details.
Wind Regions & Costs
Patios in higher wind regions often require larger steel sections, additional bracing, stronger connections and larger footings, which can impact overall cost.
Colorbond® Roofing Options
Your roofing profile affects pricing. Corrugated is generally the most economical, while Trimdek offers excellent spanning for larger patios. See Colorbond patio options.
Attached vs Freestanding
An attached patio connects to your home and is usually the most cost-effective. A freestanding patio is standalone and typically requires additional posts and structural members.
Optional Extras
Gutters & Downpipes
Improved water management.
Additional Height
Greater clearance and usability.
Premium Colorbond Colours
Wide range of colour options.
Decorative Features
Custom designs and premium finishes.
Patio Cost Per Square Metre
Many people ask how much a patio costs per square metre.
The answer is that every patio is different. The price can change based on the size, style, height, where you live, and the engineering needed for your area.
Be careful when comparing prices. Some companies may give a simple square metre price without looking at the engineering and other important details.

Patio Kit Pricing: Why Some Companies Don't Show Prices
If you've searched online for a patio kit, you've probably noticed that many companies do not display prices on their websites.
There are several reasons for this.
Every Patio Is Different
Unlike many products, patios are usually custom made. The price can change depending on:
- The size of the patio
- The roof style
- Attached or freestanding design
- Wind region
- Engineering requirements
- Colour choices
- Site conditions
Because every project is different, some companies prefer to provide a custom quote instead of a fixed price.
Prices Can Change By Location
The same patio may need different engineering depending on where it is built. A patio in a sheltered suburb may cost less than the same patio in a windy coastal area.
Some Companies Want To Speak With Customers First
Many businesses use a quote-only system because they want to discuss the project before providing a price. This allows them to understand the customer's needs and recommend suitable options.
It Can Be Difficult To Compare Quotes
Some patio companies include engineering, drawings and other items in their prices, while others charge extra. Without knowing what is included, comparing prices can be difficult.
Why We Believe In Showing Prices
At Patio & Shed Kits WA, we believe customers should have access to pricing information before making an enquiry.
Showing prices helps you:
- Understand your budget
- Compare different patio sizes and styles
- Make informed decisions
- Save time during the research process
While final pricing may vary depending on engineering and site requirements, displaying guide prices gives customers a much better starting point than having no pricing information at all.
Always Compare What's Included
When comparing patio prices, don't just compare the total cost. Make sure you also compare:
- Engineering
- Steel quality
- Roof sheeting
- Structural members
- Footing requirements
- Delivery costs
- Warranty coverage
- What's actually included in the kit
The cheapest price is not always the best value. A quality engineer-certified patio kit designed for your property can save time, money and problems in the long run.
DIY Patio Kit vs Builder Installed Patio
Many WA homeowners choose DIY patio kits because they can save thousands of dollars.
Builder Installed Patio
- Higher labour costs
- Builder markups on materials
- Less control over the build
DIY Patio Kit
- Lower overall project cost
- Greater control over the build
- Potentially significant savings

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest patio style?
Flat roof patios are generally the most economical option, offering a cost-effective, modern look with fast installation.
Is engineering included?
Engineering is available for qualifying patio projects and is tailored to your project location, wind region and roof style.
Do you deliver throughout WA?
Yes. We supply patio kits throughout Perth and regional Western Australia, delivered to your home or job site.

How much does a patio cost in Perth?
As an indicative guide, smaller patios in Perth start from a few thousand dollars while large entertaining patios can exceed $15,000. The final price depends on size, roof style, your wind region and engineering requirements, so the most accurate figure comes from our Patio Calculator or a tailored quote.
Why do patio prices vary so much across WA?
Pricing varies because patios are engineered for each site. Your wind region, terrain category, span lengths, roof style and footing requirements all change the amount and grade of steel needed. A patio in a higher wind region near the coast typically costs more than the same design in a sheltered suburban Region A location.
How does my wind region affect patio cost?
Patios in higher wind regions often need larger steel sections, extra bracing, stronger connections and bigger footings, which increases material costs. You can check your zone on our wind regions guide to understand how it influences both engineering and price.
Is a permit cost included in the patio price?
No. Council building permit and application fees are separate from the patio kit price and are paid to your local government area. Our kits arrive with engineering documentation to support your application — see our patio approval guide for what's typically required in WA.
Do I need engineering and does it add to the cost?
Yes, patios should be engineered for their location, and the engineering is tailored to your wind region, terrain category, roof style and spans. With our kits the engineering is built in, so you receive certified documentation rather than paying an unknown extra later.
How much can I save with a DIY patio kit versus a builder?
Many WA homeowners save thousands by choosing a DIY kit because they avoid builder labour costs and material markups. Actual savings depend on your patio size and whether you assemble it yourself or engage your own trades.
Are the prices on this page fixed quotes?
No. The figures shown are indicative ranges to help you budget. Because every patio is engineered for its specific site, your final price is confirmed once size, roof style, height and location are known — the Patio Calculator gives an instant tailored estimate.
