Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Sep 23, 2012 12:29 pm Hello All, After settling into our beautiful newly constructed two storey house, we now want a pergola put in to enjoy the outdoors during the next few months. Our dilemma is do we put in a domed or flat roof ? besides the obvious difference in price between the two roofs, does anyone know what other pros & cons there are to consider between the two? the pergola will be about 6m wide by approx 3.8m deep & attached to the house . I have been to the council, & anything above 3m high needs a DA, any advice pls? Also, has anyone dealt with a pergola co in Sydney that they are willing to recommend? Thanks everyone.
