Design Considerations
Curved Units Attached Between a Flat/Sunroof Unit and an Existing Structure
Curved Units which are attached between a Flat/Sunroof Unit (excluding pergolas) and an existing house, shall only be considered attached if the Curved Unit is attached to the existing house (C) for its full length (L) and the longest side of the combined unit (B) does not exceed twice the curved length (L). The Flat/Sunroof Unit in this case can be considered attached. This style requires all coloumns to be embedded into footings.
Curved Units Attached to Flat/sunroof Unit One or Both Sides
Curved Units which are attached one or both sides to Flat/Sunroof Units, (excluding pergolas) must be attached to an existing house for at least 75% of the curved opening length (O) to be considered attached. Flat/Sunroof Unit/s must be deemed attached as detailed in the Flat/Sunroof Unit section below to allow the Curved Unit to be considered attached.
Curved Units are considered attached both sides if both Flat/Sunroof 1 and 2 comply with attachment rules for Flat/Sunroof Units as detailed below. Curved Units are considered attached one side if only one Flat/Sunroof Unit exists and it complies with the attachment rules for Flat/Sunroof Units as detailed below.
Design Options
When designing an Outback, consideration should be given to both Roof sheet direction, and the orientation of any openings and overhangs involved. These are often determined by appearence and drainage requirements. The following charts show some of the normal options used, but contact Stratco if assistance is required.

Create a contemporary verandah or patio with the Stratco Outback Curved Roof
The Stratco Outback Curved Roof is available as a freestanding unit or attached to your home.
When combined with flat roofing or pergola sections it becomes part of a system, with the elegant curved roof forming the central feature of the design.
Available in either Multispan or Clearspan designs, the Stratco Outback Curved Roof can span up to 6.6 metres wide in either style.
Multispan Curved Roof
The Outback Multispan Curved Roof has purlins that are placed over the rafters in the roof.
These purlins support your choice of cladding:
- Smooth Outback Deck
- Light and airy polycarbonate
- Classic corrugated steel
The corrugated steel is supplied pre-curved to the required radius for easy installation.
Clearspan Curved Roof
The Outback Clearspan Curved Roof minimises beams and rafters by using Outback Deck.
Outback Deck is a very strong material that does not need extra purlins to support it. This leaves the roof area clean and uncluttered with a ceiling-like appearance from beneath.
Outback Rooflites are also available to supply natural filtered light when Outback Deck is used in Clearspan designs.
