Find a stylish new outdoor patio cover online at Simply Sheds
Transforming your outdoor living space into an inviting and functional retreat is the goal of many homeowners. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is with a stylish patio cover; these versatile structures provide shade and shelter and enhance the overall look of your backyard.
Patio covers offer various benefits for your outdoor living space. For example, they provide some much-needed protection from harmful UV rays, shielding you and your guests from sunlight and creating a cool, comfortable environment — even on hot summer days.
Patio covers also offer protection from the elements, safeguarding your outdoor furniture, décor, and electronics from the rain, wind, and even snow, ensuring your outdoor living space stays in pristine condition, year after year.

FAQs about our DIY patio kits
What do I need to consider before purchasing a patio?
There are a few factors to consider when choosing a new patio roof or cover. For example, it’s crucial to match the dimensions of your yard to your patio cover (for reference, Absco patio covers are 3mW x 3mD x 3mH OR 6mW x 3mD x 3mH). Take careful measurements before heading to the cart.
You will also need to pour a concrete slab to erect your new patio. Here’s a tutorial video on how to do this.
We also recommend using trestles and timber to keep the parts off the ground during installation. This will eliminate the risk of damage and promote working at waist height while you install your new patio.
What are Absco patios made from?
Absco patios are made from the best quality materials on the market, ensuring your patio won’t fade, crack, warp, or peel under the hot Australian sun. These pergolas and patios are made from Australian-made high-tensile steel and our selection of corrosion-resistant Colorbond colours — a great addition to your property.
Do I need council approval to erect a patio cover?
It depends on your local council’s regulations. We recommend checking with the local council before purchasing.
How much is shipping?
We offer free nationwide shipping for selected Absco Sheds products. Look for the blue “free shipping” tags! Alternatively, a $49 flat rate shipping fee will be applied at the checkout.
Can you help with the installation?
To keep costs low for our customers, we do not offer an installation service. However, we can recommend various businesses that can help with installing your new patio covering. Check out our list of installation services throughout Australia.
Do your patio cover kits come with a warranty?
Yes, we want our customers to know we’re confident in our products, and they should be, too! Many of our sheds come with a lifetime warranty, but this can vary between products. Contact us for more information about warranties — our team is on hand to answer any and all questions you may have.
