Pergolas — MEK Homes Melbourne

MEK Homes builds quality pergolas that extend your living space and add value to your home. Whether you want a classic timber pergola for your backyard, a modern flat-roof design attached to your home, or a fully covered outdoor room, our team designs and builds structures that are both beautiful and built to last. We work with premium hardwoods, treated pine, and steel to create pergolas that suit your style and stand up to Melbourne's weather year after year.

Our Process

We visit your property to assess the site, discuss your design preferences, and advise on materials and council requirements. After preparing a detailed quote with clear specifications, we handle any required building permits. Construction typically takes 1-2 weeks and includes footings, post installation, beam and rafter construction, roofing if applicable, and all finishing work. We leave your outdoor area clean and ready to enjoy.
