Geelong Pergolas
A pergola is more than just a frame — it’s what turns an empty patch of yard into a usable, inviting space. Whether you’re chasing shade, shelter or a place to relax outdoors year-round, a well-built pergola adds comfort and value in all the right ways.
At Flintoff Constructions, we design and build custom pergolas in Geelong to suit the shape of your property and the way you like to live. We construct open pergolas that create soft shade without blocking breeze, roofed pergolas for year-round protection, and shade-battened pergolas that strike the perfect balance between light and coverage. Every pergola is tailored to suit your space, whether it’s freestanding, attached or part of a larger outdoor project. We work with your layout, material preferences and budget to deliver a structure that looks good and lasts.
If you’re ready to make the most of your outdoor space, our experienced team are here to help make it happen. Call 0434 679 507 today to get started.
We Build Pergolas That Work
Not all pergolas are built equal. The right one will stay solid through summer storms, frame your space properly and give you shade or shelter where you actually need it. Here’s how we get it right:
- Designed to Suit the Site: Every pergola we build is shaped around your space. We work with the access and orientation you’ve got.
- The Right Roof for the Job: From open timber slats to fully roofed designs, we’ll help you choose the coverage you need.
- Solid Framing, Proper Fixings: We don’t skimp on structure. Our pergolas are built to last with quality materials and fixings.
- Clean Lines and Balanced Proportions: A good pergola should look like it belongs; we get the scale right so it feels integrated.
- Built For Use, Not Just Looks: Whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing or keeping cool, we’ll build it to suit your lifestyle.

Open Pergolas in Geelong
Open pergolas are perfect for adding soft shade and structure without blocking breeze or light. We build these with clean, spaced beams that create a natural dappled effect — ideal for garden areas, dining zones or sunny courtyards. They’re a great choice when you want to define a space without fully enclosing it, and they can be designed as freestanding features or attached to the home. We’ll help you get the proportions, placement and finish of your open pergola just right.
Let’s create an open pergola that works with your space, not against it.
Roofed Pergolas in Geelong
Roofed pergolas offer Geelong residents solid protection from the elements, making your outdoor space usable year-round. We build fully covered structures using timber, steel or polycarbonate roofing to suit the look of your home and the level of coverage you’re after. Whether it’s for entertaining, outdoor cooking or just getting some shade and shelter, we’ll make sure the roof is built to last and finished to match. It’s the ideal option if you want to enjoy the outdoors without being at the mercy of the weather.

Shade-Battened Pergolas in Geelong
Shade-battened pergolas give you the best of both worlds — filtered light and breathable cover without a full roof. We space battens to balance shade and airflow, making them ideal for areas that need sun control without feeling boxed in. Whether you’re looking to reduce heat on a deck or add some privacy to a side yard, a shade-battened pergola can create a more comfortable, usable outdoor space without closing it off completely.
Let’s design something that feels open, but works hard behind the scenes.
What type of pergola is best for Geelong’s weather?
Geelong’s weather can swing from hot sun to coastal winds and rain, so choosing the right pergola comes down to balancing shade, airflow and protection. Roofed pergolas are a smart choice if you want year-round usability, offering shelter from rain and UV. Open pergolas work well for garden features or outdoor rooms where you still want natural light and ventilation. Shade-battened pergolas are ideal for partial cover and can soften sunlight without completely enclosing the space.
Do pergolas need council approval in Victoria?
In many cases, yes — particularly for larger, roofed or freestanding pergolas. Local council regulations in Geelong and greater Victoria often require permits based on height, size and how close the structure is to a boundary. It’s important to check early in the design phase to avoid delays. Professional builders can help navigate the approval process and ensure the structure meets all compliance and engineering standards.
How long does it take to build a custom pergola?
Most pergolas can be built within 1–2 weeks once materials are ready, but timing depends on the complexity of the design and any council approvals. Open and shade-battened pergolas tend to be quicker, while roofed pergolas may take longer due to roofing, guttering and framing requirements. In Geelong, material lead times can vary, especially for custom finishes. An experienced builder can give you a realistic timeline and keep the project on track from start to finish.
