Complete Screening Systems
We don’t do half-measures. Our systems create a total bug barrier around your entire patio space, with seamless installation that becomes part of your existing structure.
Our screened patios in Canberra create that perfect balance – you get all the benefits of outdoor living with none of the frustrations. Fresh air flows freely, natural light brightens your space, but mosquitoes, flies, and pollen stay exactly where they belong – outside looking in.
The best part? You’ll actually start using your outdoor space the way you always imagined. Evening dinners become peaceful affairs. Kids can play outside without getting eaten alive. And those weekend gatherings you’ve been planning? They’ll finally happen the way you dreamed they would – comfortable, relaxed, and completely bug-free.
Ready to reclaim your outdoor space from the insects? Let’s talk about how the right screening system can transform your patio into the comfortable, protected outdoor room your family deserves.
Your outdoor space should enhance your lifestyle, not limit it. When you can’t use your patio because of mosquitoes, when allergies keep family members inside, or when bugs ruin every evening gathering – your investment in outdoor living is being wasted.
Here’s what really gets to people – you can’t predict when it’s going to be comfortable outside. One day it’s perfect, the next you’re fighting off swarms of flies or sneezing from pollen. Screened patios eliminate that unpredictability completely.
Screened patios solve these problems completely:

We don’t do half-measures. Our systems create a total bug barrier around your entire patio space, with seamless installation that becomes part of your existing structure.

Every patio is different, and every family’s needs are different. Sarah’s family needed extra protection because of her son’s severe allergies. Mark wanted to keep using his outdoor entertainment area for his weekly poker nights. We design systems that fit your specific situation, lifestyle, and patio configuration.

We use commercial-grade screening materials that stand up to Canberra’s UV exposure, wind, and temperature swings. Cheap residential screening fails fast in our conditions – we’ve seen too many DIY jobs that look terrible after one summer.
Our screening maintains its integrity season after season, and it stays virtually invisible from inside your patio while creating that perfect bug barrier from outside.

The screening system becomes part of your existing structure, not an obvious add-on. We work with your patio’s architecture to create installations that look intentional and add value to your property.
We examine your existing patio structure, identify insect entry patterns, analyze prevailing wind directions, and understand your family’s specific needs before designing your screening system. Every installation starts with proper planning.
Our mesh is specifically selected for Canberra conditions – fine enough to stop the smallest insects, strong enough to handle wind and weather, and treated to resist UV damage from our intense summer sun. The screening maintains clarity and strength season after season.
Professional installation means no gaps, no loose edges, no areas where insects can squeeze through. We use specialized techniques to seal every connection point and create a true barrier that actually works.
The screening system becomes part of your patio’s structure, not something obviously added on later. Clean lines, professional finishing, and attention to detail that makes the difference between amateur work and professional quality.
Your family deserves to enjoy your outdoor space when you want to use it, not just when the insects allow it. Professional screening transforms your patio into a comfortable, protected environment where you can relax, entertain, and create the outdoor lifestyle you’ve been missing.
Don’t spend another season fighting bugs and allergies when you could be enjoying comfortable, protected outdoor living. Our screened patio systems give you complete insect protection, allergy relief, and year-round outdoor comfort that actually works.

FAQ
Answers to the questions Canberra homeowners ask us most often.
With Canberra’s intense UV exposure and weather extremes, a professionally installed screened patio using quality materials will typically last 15-20 years. I’ve seen some of our earlier installations from the early 2000s still going strong. The key is using UV-resistant screening materials – Canberra’s summer sun is brutal, and cheap materials will degrade within 3-5 years. Our commercial-grade mesh is specifically treated for Australian conditions, so it maintains its integrity through those 40+ degree summer days and frosty winter mornings.
Standard screening alone won’t keep rain out – it’s designed for insect protection and airflow. However, here in Canberra where we get those sudden afternoon storms and occasional hail, many families opt for our convertible systems. You can add clear weather panels when storms are forecast. I always recommend this for families in areas like Tuggeranong or Gungahlin where you’re more exposed to weather patterns. The screening stays permanent, but you’ve got protection when you need it.
A regular patio is just your outdoor floor area – concrete, pavers, decking. A screened patio has that same base but adds a roof structure with screening walls that create an enclosed, bug-free space. Think of it as converting your open patio into an outdoor room. In Canberra, where most homes have some form of outdoor entertaining area, screening transforms that space from something you can only use when conditions are perfect to something you can use whenever you want.
For Canberra’s climate, I usually recommend screened patios over sunrooms. Sunrooms can become unbearably hot during our summer months – even with air conditioning, they’re expensive to cool. Screened patios give you bug protection while maintaining natural airflow, which is perfect for our dry climate. Plus, you get that genuine outdoor feeling that Canberrans love. Sunrooms work better in colder climates, but here they often become unused spaces for half the year.
A screened deck is elevated off the ground on a timber or steel frame structure. A screened patio is typically at ground level, often on a concrete slab or paving. In Canberra, most established homes have ground-level patios, while newer homes in areas like Denman Prospect might have elevated decks. The screening approach is similar for both, but elevated decks sometimes need additional wind bracing due to our gusty conditions.
For our intense UV and temperature extremes, I recommend commercial-grade polyester mesh with UV inhibitors. It maintains clarity and strength better than cheaper alternatives. Some families prefer aluminum screening for maximum durability, though it’s slightly more visible. I avoid fiberglass mesh – it degrades quickly in Canberra’s harsh sun. The material choice often depends on your budget and how long you plan to stay in your home.
