Skillion Roof Patios Perth

A skillion patio runs a single slope across the structure rather than meeting at a ridge. It is the design that suits modern Perth homes best, it sheds water efficiently because the fall is built into the shape, and it gives a clean uninterrupted line without the height and cost of a gable. 

One Stop Patio Shop has been building skillion patios across the Perth metro area for more than 20 years. Every structure is powdercoated, epoxy-primed, 100% Australian Orrcon steel with Colorbond roof sheeting, and as a registered builder we provide a 6-year structural warranty. Skillion is one of the designs in our full outdoor patio designs range.

What a Skillion Roof Actually Is

A skillion is a single plane set on an angle. Where a gable has two slopes meeting at a ridge and a flat patio sits close to level, a skillion sits somewhere between the two. The high side attaches to or sits near the house and the low side runs out into the yard, or the arrangement reverses on a reverse skillion where the slope runs back toward the house. 

That single slope is the whole point. It moves water decisively in one direction, it keeps the underside clean and uncluttered, and it lets us gain height where you need it without carrying a pitch across the full span.

Why Skillion Suits Perth Homes

Three reasons come up repeatedly on site, and they are covered in more detail in our guide to the key reasons to choose a skillion patio design. 

Water Handling

Perth rain arrives in short heavy bursts rather than steady drizzle. A skillion moves that volume off the roof quickly because the fall is deliberate rather than minimal. Combined with a properly sized box gutter, it handles a March storm without pooling. 

Height Where You Want It

On a block where the house eave sits low, a skillion can be raised on the high side to gain headroom that a flat roof cannot give you. A raised skillion is a common solution on older Perth homes with low eaves. 

The Modern Look

A single clean plane suits contemporary rendered and brick homes far better than a pitched roof does. On a newer estate home a skillion usually reads as part of the original build rather than an addition.

Skillion or Reverse Skillion

A standard skillion slopes away from the house, which is the arrangement most people picture. A reverse skillion slopes back toward it, which lifts the outer edge and opens up the view and the light from the yard side. 

Reverse skillion works well where you want maximum height at the outer edge, for example over a pool or a seating area with a view worth keeping. It changes where the water goes, so the guttering and the connection back to the house need more thought. That is one of the things we assess on site rather than assume in advance.

Roof Materials for a Skillion Patio

Flatdek, Trimdek and corrugated are all Colorbond options and all work on a skillion. Colorbond is the standard: durable, pre-painted, available across the full colour range, with all the coil coming from BlueScope. 

Solarspan is the insulated option, built on a Bondor panel with a Colorbond top-skin. On a skillion it is worth serious consideration, because a single sloping plane facing the afternoon sun collects a lot of heat. The insulated core stops most of that radiating down into the space underneath, and the underside finishes as a clean ceiling rather than exposed sheeting. 

Polycarbonate lets light through where the area would otherwise sit dark, at the cost of heat control. On a skillion it is sometimes used as an infill strip closest to the house rather than across the whole roof.

Council Approval and Timelines

A skillion patio is a permanent structure, so it needs building approval. We prepare the site plan and elevations, prepare the engineered specifications and lodge on behalf of the owner. Our jobs are certified through a private building certifier, which brings building approval down to approximately 2 weeks. Installation is then typically 8 to 12 weeks after approval. 

Where planning approval applies, that stage can run up to 60 to 90 working days on its own. It is triggered when the combined length of the patio and the house wall exceeds 9 metres with a setback under 1.5 metres, and on strata titled properties.

What a Skillion Patio Costs

Quoted per job, because the price moves with the span, the pitch, the material, the ground conditions and how the structure ties into the house. We quote free and on site. A 6.5% deposit starts the approval process, then payment is staged across lodgement, approvals received, materials on site and practical completion. Interest free finance of up to 18 months is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

A skillion patio has a roof set on a single slope rather than two slopes meeting at a ridge. It sheds water efficiently, gives a clean modern line, and can be raised on the high side to gain headroom that a flat roof cannot. 

Generally yes, because a skillion uses a simpler roof structure than a gable. Both are quoted per job though, since span, material and how the structure connects to the house move the price more than the roof shape alone. 

A standard skillion slopes away from the house. A reverse skillion slopes back toward it, lifting the outer edge to open up light and the view from the yard side. The reverse arrangement changes where water goes, so the guttering needs more thought. 

Yes. Solarspan is the insulated option, built on a Bondor panel with a Colorbond top-skin. On a skillion facing the afternoon sun it makes a noticeable difference to the temperature underneath, and it finishes as a clean ceiling rather than exposed sheeting. 

The pitch is set by the height available at the house connection, the span, and the fall needed to drain properly. It is worked out at the on-site measure rather than fixed in advance. 

In most cases yes, because it is a permanent structure. We prepare and lodge the building approval as part of the job, certified through a private building certifier, which takes approximately 2 weeks.
