A custom steel pergola at the garden door.
A custom-made steel frame supports a polycarbonate roof immediately outside the rear doors of this Canterbury home. The dark structure defines a covered area at the house, with views across the garden.

A covered space connected to the house.
The pergola follows the rear of the property, placing the roofed area directly beside the garden doors. Its slender steel posts give the structure a clear outline without creating a solid enclosure across the garden.
The polycarbonate roof admits light through the covered area. In the photographs, the roof panels and supporting members remain visible, contrasting with the darker frame and the brick wall behind it.
The garden layout keeps a paved route along one side, with an open central area between the house and the foreground. The pergola sits at the end of that view, giving the rear doors a defined setting.
