Why Choose a Stratco Authorised Dealer in Frankston

There are plenty of builders who install outdoor structures. Choosing a Stratco authorised dealer means you get factory-trained installers, genuine Stratco engineering, and the full Stratco warranty package — not a generic patio bolted to your house.

Here’s what that means in practice:

Genuine Stratco Engineering

Every Stratco Outback structure is individually engineered to Australian Standards for your specific site. This includes wind load calculations (critical for Frankston’s coastal exposure), footing design for your soil type, and connection details for your home’s specific wall and roof construction. Generic builders use generic engineering. We use Stratco’s proprietary engineering system, which is purpose-built for the Outback product range.

Full Stratco Warranty

When installed by an authorised dealer like Yates Constructions, your Stratco structure comes with a 25-year structural warranty, an 8-year paint finish warranty, and our own 1-year installation warranty. If you use a non-authorised installer, Stratco’s warranty may not apply.

Local Frankston Knowledge

Frankston sits on the eastern shore of Port Phillip Bay, roughly 41 kilometres south-east of Melbourne’s CBD. With a population of over 37,000 and a median house price around $860,000, homeowners here are investing in outdoor living that takes advantage of the coastal setting. We’ve been building Stratco verandahs and patios across Frankston, Frankston South and Frankston North for over 20 years.

Frankston South — Stratco Outback Cooldek Verandah

This Frankston South project featured a Stratco Outback Cooldek verandah with integrated downlights, heatstrips and a ceiling fan. The Cooldek insulated roofing provides up to 22°C heat reduction compared to standard steel, keeping the alfresco area comfortable even on 38°C+ days. The smooth, white underside creates a ceiling-like finish that transforms the outdoor space into a genuine extension of the home’s living area.

We had Jarrod and his team build and organise an extension to our alfresco with a new stratco verandah, new exposed agg concrete with a grinded finish as well as minor works. Jarrod was a pleasure to deal with, communicated regularly and the works carried out by his team were very professional. Even after the works have completed, Jarrod has checked in on how the space is going and if there are any issues. I would definitely use Jarrod and his team again without any doubt. Thanks Yates Constructions.

Our backyard transformation by Yates Construction is nothing short of a dream come true! We're absolutely over the moon with our new pergola and backyard. The team's work is exceptional, the quality is outstanding, and it's far beyond what we imagined. But what really made the experience special was Jarrod. We changed our minds, and our plans, constantly, and Jarrod was incredibly patient and understanding throughout the whole process. He offered brilliant advice, and his professionalism was second to none. Yates Construction didn't just build a pergola; they created a space we absolutely love. If you want a team that truly cares and delivers stunning results, look no further!

Pleasant company to deal with. Anna and Jarrod were both very transparent throughout the whole process, told me exactly what was required every step of the way. The installation crew was a godsend. Can not fault their workmanship. Will be contacting them for future projects in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Stratco Outback verandah?

A Stratco Outback verandah is a roofed outdoor structure attached to your home, engineered and manufactured by Stratco Australia. It uses Stratco’s proprietary beam, post and roofing system, which is individually engineered for each installation site. Available in flat, gable and curved roof profiles with optional Cooldek insulated roofing. When installed byan authorised dealer like Yates Constructions, it comes with a 25-year structural warranty.

What is Stratco Cooldek and is it worth the upgrade?

Cooldek is Stratco’s insulated roofing product. It features a polystyrene core permanently bonded between a steel topside and a smooth, flat underside that looks like a plasterboard ceiling. Cooldek reduces heat transfer by up to 22°C compared to standard steel roofing andsignificantly reduces rain noise. The upgrade typically adds $2,000–$5,000 to a verandah or patio project. For any area where you’ll sit, eat or entertain underneath, Cooldek is worth the investment — it transforms the space from a simple covered area into a genuine outdoor room.

How much does a Stratco verandah cost in Frankston?

A Stratco Outback verandah in Frankston typically starts from $8,000 for a standard flat roof and ranges up to $28,000+ for larger Cooldek installations with integrated lighting, heating and ceiling fans. The final price depends on the size of the structure, roofing profile (flat, gable, curved), whether you choose standard or Cooldek roofing, accessories, site conditions and council permit requirements. We provide detailed, itemised quotes with no hidden costs.

Yes. Every Stratco verandah and patio attached to a building in Victoria requires a building permit. We handle the full permit process for every project, including Stratco’s proprietary engineering, site plans, building surveyor appointment and any Frankston City Council submissions required.

A Stratco authorised dealer is factory-trained to install Stratco products to the manufacturer’sspecifications.
