Your Trusted Pergola Builder
Dependabuild is a local, family-run builder based on the Northern Beaches with hands-on experience designing and building pergolas across the Northern Beaches and North Shore of Sydney.
We work to engineering recommendations on every build to ensure your pergola is structurally sound, and we collaborate with designers to help bring your vision to life.

Our Pergola Services
We offer a full range of pergola design and construction services, all managed by one team under one contract.
Attached Pergolas
An attached pergola connects directly to your home and is designed to match your existing roofline and architecture. It creates a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, extending your living or dining space and providing a sheltered area for year-round entertaining.
Freestanding Pergolas
A freestanding pergola sits independently in your garden and can become a striking feature piece in its own right. Whether positioned near the pool, at the back of the yard, or overlooking a view, we design and build freestanding structures that are as practical as they are impressive.
Louvre Pergolas
Louvre pergolas offer adjustable all-weather protection, giving you control over shade, airflow, and rain coverage at the turn of a blade. They’re ideal for the Northern Beaches lifestyle, letting you enjoy your outdoor space in all conditions without compromising on style.
Covered & Roofed Pergolas
From Colorbond roofing to polycarbonate and timber battens, we build covered pergolas that protect your outdoor area from the elements while maintaining an open, airy feel. Perfect for year-round use, covered pergolas significantly increase the usable space of your home.
Second Storey Pergolas
Make use of elevated positions with a second storey pergola that takes in the view and adds a dramatic architectural element to your home. We design and engineer these structures to meet all relevant building requirements and integrate seamlessly with your existing home.
Pergola & Deck Combinations
Combine a pergola with a new or existing deck to create a complete outdoor entertaining zone. We design both elements to work together, creating a cohesive space with the right proportions, levels, and finishes for the way you want to use it.
Feature Details & Extras
The details make a pergola. We incorporate exposed beams, high-pitched rooflines, privacy screens, feature lighting, ceiling fans, and steps to add dimension, charm, and personality. Shane has a strong network of trusted trades for any electrical or plumbing work required, so your build can include all the finishing touches that make it unique.
