Patio Covers

Pergolas, gazebos and outdoor shelters transform your garden into a functional living space you can enjoy throughout the year. These versatile structures provide shade during summer months, shelter from light showers, and create defined areas for dining, relaxing, or entertaining guests. Whether you're looking to cover a hot tub, create an outdoor kitchen area, or simply add architectural interest to your landscape, the right patio cover makes all the difference.

Our Patio Cover Collection

McMahons stocks a carefully selected range of outdoor structures to suit gardens of every size and style.

• Sierra Patio Covers: aluminium-framed lean-to structures with clear multiwall polycarbonate roofing, available in 3m x 3.05m and 3m x 4.25m sizes in grey, with integrated guttering and UV protection.
• Polycarbonate roof panels: UV-resistant, lifetime-resilient glazing that transmits natural light while protecting from rain and UV rays, with a proprietary screw-free assembly system to prevent leaks.
• Aluminium support structures: anti-rust oval aluminium poles engineered for weather resistance, providing a durable and low-maintenance framework for year-round outdoor living.
• Lean-to veranda systems: wall-mounted structures requiring a solid level surface and wall support, with anchoring included for secure installation against the house exterior.
• Integrated guttering: adjustable gutter heads channel and collect rainwater efficiently, supporting sustainable garden irrigation systems alongside weather protection.

Complete your outdoor room by pairing your chosen shelter with quality Decking underfoot for a cohesive, finished appearance.

Consider your intended use when selecting a structure. A simple pergola suits ornamental purposes and partial shade, while fully roofed options work better for outdoor furniture protection or all-weather entertaining. Think about prevailing wind direction and how the structure will look from both inside your home and throughout the garden.
