Full Patio Enclosures
Framed and screened from slab to roofline, with hinged or sliding access doors so the space still connects to the yard.
Outdoor Living
Patio & Screen Enclosures
Turn the patio you avoid half the year into the room you use the most — screened, secure and still open to the breeze.
Most Far North Queensland houses have a patio or verandah that goes unused from about 5pm because of mosquitoes and midges. Screening it is the single change that gets that space back.
A properly designed enclosure keeps insects out without killing the airflow, adds a layer of security to the back of the house, and gives you somewhere the kids and the dog can be without anyone watching the gate.
What an enclosure gives you
- Insect-free outdoor living, evenings included
- Extra secure area at the rear of the house
- Airflow retained through the space
- Privacy from neighbours and the street
- Weather protection when combined with blinds
- Somewhere safe for kids and pets
- More usable floor area without an extension
- Adds genuine value to the property
The range
How an enclosure is put together
Insect Protection
Prowler Proof welded insect mesh for the standard job, or finer mesh options where midges are the real problem.
Security Screening
Step the mesh up to security grade and the enclosure becomes part of the home's security rather than just a bug barrier.
Airflow-First Design
Mesh selection and frame layout planned so the prevailing breeze still moves through the space. There's no point screening a patio that ends up feeling like a box.
Privacy & Shade Add-Ons
Zipscreens, louvres or slat panels combined with the screening for privacy from neighbours and cover from afternoon sun and rain.
Pets, Kids & Pools
Heavy-duty mesh at pet height, safe latching on access doors, and layouts that work with pool fencing requirements.
Local know-how
Designed around how you use the space
Before we quote, we ask how the area gets used. A family that eats outside every night wants a different setup to someone who wants a quiet corner and a fan. The answer changes door placement, mesh grade and whether blinds go in at the same time.
Structurally we work with what's there — existing patio roofs, carports, verandah posts and slab edges. Where the existing structure won't take a screen frame properly, we'll say so rather than fixing into something that won't hold.
Enclosures pair well with Zipscreens. Screening handles the insects, blinds handle the weather and the low afternoon sun, and between them the space works nearly every day of the year.

Fabulous customer service. Exceptional workmanship. All at a fair price. If I needed more security screens or doors I would definitely use them again. Thank you Shay and your team.
A really excellent creative carport gate solution. Looks good and works well. Shay has great attention to detail and has the courage to try new stuff. Highly recommend.
