Project Story
Completed:
August, 2026
Location:
Carseldine, QLD
The Problem:
A dark partition between the patio and pool area was making the space feel closed off and small, while the heat trapped underneath made it unpleasant to use. Leaves from neighbouring trees were a constant maintenance headache in the pool, and mosquitoes and flies were turning evenings outdoors into a battle. The family wanted a space that felt open, looked great and actually worked for everyday living and entertaining.
The Solution:
Suncoast Outdoor Living removed the existing dark partition and replaced it with a new insulated patio roof finished in white on the underside, immediately opening up the space, reducing heat and making the area feel larger and more inviting. A custom pool screen enclosure was then installed to keep leaves, mosquitoes and flies out of both the pool and patio area, while allowing natural airflow and breeze to continue flowing through freely.
What We Delivered:
- Insulated patio roof – White underside finish reduces heat and brightens the space
- Open plan feel – Dark partition removed to connect the patio and pool areas seamlessly
- Leaf-free pool – Screen enclosure stops leaves from nearby trees entering the pool
- Bug-free entertaining – Mosquitoes and flies kept out of the patio and pool area
- Natural airflow retained – Breeze continues to flow freely through the enclosed space
- Year-round usability – Late night swims and outdoor entertaining enjoyed without hassle
The Result:
The Hughes family now have the outdoor space they always wanted. The patio feels open, light and connected to the pool area, the heat has been significantly reduced, and the pool stays clean without constant maintenance. Whether it’s a late night dip or an evening entertaining family and friends, the space is peaceful, bug-free and exactly what they had in mind.
