Repurpose Your Outdoor Area
At Southern Highlands Doors and Carpentry, we create alfresco enclosures for homes in the Southern Highlands. An open patio may suit summer entertaining, but you might want a more enclosed space or a different way to use that part of your home.
Our work includes screening patios and enclosing outdoor areas, with door and window installations where the project calls for them. We help you think through access, light and the relationship between the enclosure and adjoining rooms.
Explore our windows if new openings form part of your plans. Bringing those choices into the same discussion helps define the layout and the work around the existing structure.

Plan Around the Space
We offer installation and carpentry work for changes to existing patios and alfresco areas.
- Patio screening. We help screen outdoor areas as part of an enclosure project. The existing structure and the position of access points shape the layout.
- Enclosed spaces. We carry out work to enclose areas for a proposed new use. Discuss the intended room and any associated building requirements before settling on the scope.
- Doors and windows. We install openings that connect the enclosure to other parts of the home. Their position affects movement through the space as well as light and ventilation.
- Surrounding carpentry. We provide carpentry for related alterations. Consider adjoining surfaces and finishes when planning how the new enclosure meets the existing home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Difference Between Screening and Fully Enclosing a Patio?
- Screening changes the boundary of an outdoor space while retaining an open-air character. A fully enclosed room involves a different scope and may bring additional building requirements.
What Should an Alfresco Enclosure Layout Consider?
- Consider access to the garden, the position of adjoining rooms and the light entering the home. The existing roof, posts and floor also influence the proposed layout.
Can an Outdoor Enclosure Serve as a Bedroom or Living Room?
- The suitability of a proposed room depends on the existing structure and the requirements for its intended use. Establish those requirements before treating an outdoor area as habitable space.
