FRAME System
Explore our FRAME retractable roofing
The FRAME retractable roofing solution provides heat and glare protection. The system is fixed above existing conservatories and pergolas, providing shade over the desired area when necessary. When not in use, the roof retracts and fully disappears into a slim cassette.
Designed for seamless integration with existing outdoor structures, the FRAME system's slim profile ensures it complements rather than dominates your architectural aesthetic. The motorised operation allows you to extend or retract coverage in seconds, adapting to Melbourne's rapidly changing weather conditions.

ROMAN System
Explore the ROMAN pleated patio awning
Pleated patio awning systems are fixed under existing pergola structures or under conservatory roofs. Either manual or motorised, the fabric glides in an aluminium track to create shade over the structure. When not in use, the pleated fabric retracts to one side of the pergola.
Our flagship ROMAN pleated patio awning has been designed to provide sun and rain protection. It can be fixed over existing pergolas or customised to include aluminium pergola posts. If rain protection is your goal, the fabric can be set at an angle that allows rain to run off, keeping the space beneath completely dry.
The elegant pleated design adds a refined architectural element to your outdoor space, creating a visual feature that enhances the overall aesthetic while providing practical all-weather protection. Available in a range of premium fabrics to complement your home's exterior palette.

Complete Outdoor Solution
Pair with zip screens for the ultimate outdoor living experience
Zip screens are attached to your pergola posts. They provide a track or channel guided system that locks a blind in place as it glides up and down the channels. This tensioned blind can be operated manually or fully motorised, creating robust, weather-resistant walls for superior protection from sun, rain and wind, creating the perfect outdoor alfresco room.
Choose from a curated selection of Tiptop's retractable roof systems and add zip screen blinds to your pergola. With the click of a button, your roof and walls appear or disappear above you, providing the perfect level of versatility to enjoy a luxe outdoor space — a complete, enclosed outdoor room that adapts to your needs.
