House 1 by Tom and Sarah-Jane features a 5m x 3m walkway, covered by a Stratco Outback® Cooldek Flat Patio. The insulated Cooldek roofing with integrated downlights creates a great aesthetic and will keep residents protected from the sun and the rain, day and night, all year round.

Rachel and Ryan have the most customised patio on The Block. They worked closely with the Stratco Patio Design team to create a unique patio that wraps around 3 sides of the home, combining insulated Cooldek panels with remote controlled louvre roofing.
The 3 louvre banks are fully integrated so that they can all be operated from a single remote control simultaneously. The louvres also have Stratco lighting integrated into the louvres to ensure their outdoor living space can be enjoyed day and night, all year round.
Rachel and Ryan's decking was built using Stratco Pro-Beam Flooring, providing plenty of strength in the ground to support the build of the patio, which was particularly important in the windy Macedon Ranges.
House 2 also features an 8m x 3m Stratco Outback® Sunroof patio on the end of their Stratco Gabe Roof Shed.

Ankur and Sharon designed a 6m x 4m Stratco Outback® Cooldek Flat Patio. This was a complex build, with the overweight Cooldek roof sitting 5 metres above ground level. Stratco Pro-Beam flooring was installed, providing additional strength and a solid base for their decking.
In addition to the Outback® Cooldek Patio, house 3 also features an 8m x 3m Stratco Outback® Sunroof Patio on the end of the Stratco Shed and a 16m long x 2m wide Stratco Cooldek covered walkway connecting the shed to the home. The walkway not only looks great but also provides protection from the sun and rain when moving between the house and the shed.
