Patio Roofing - Cherie from Frankston
Question
We are currently building an outdoor patio and require some green colorbond to cover area 5 metres wide by 2.6 metres long. How many sheets of colorbond will we require and what color greens are there and could you give me a list of suppliers. I would like a quote if possible.
Answer
Cherie, Thankyou for your request and yes, we have 2 exhibitors that could help with the supply of the materials required for you patio. First of all a ball park price for Colorbond is approx. $15 per sq/m so if you can get it either side of that price you are doing ok. So working on that price you shouldnt pay over $200 for your sheeting, however there are usually peripherals involved like flashings, barge capping, guttering etc. that you will also need to be mindful of.
