DIY Kit or Professional Install? Choosing the Right Outdoor Solution
- Jun 18
- 2 min read
One of the most common questions we get at Louvres and More Australia is: “Should I go DIY, or should I book a professional installation?”
The good news is you can get a high-quality, precision-made outdoor solution either way. The best choice comes down to your timeline, confidence with tools, and how complex your space is.
Option 1: DIY kits (great for hands-on projects)
Our DIY kits are ideal if you enjoy building, want more control over scheduling, or you’re working to a specific budget. You still get the same focus on quality and craftsmanship—just with you (or your builder) handling the install.
Best for: straightforward spaces, confident DIYers, builders, and renovators.
Why customers choose it: flexibility, value, and the satisfaction of self-installation.
Ideal when: you have time to plan and want to install on your own timeline.
Option 2: Professional installation (for a fully managed result)
If you want a seamless, end-to-end experience, professional installation is the way to go. It’s especially helpful for complex layouts, tight access, or when you want everything handled from start to finish.
Best for: complex spaces, larger projects, and customers who want peace of mind.
Why customers choose it: expert handling, time savings, and a polished finish.
Ideal when: you want the quickest path to a completed outdoor upgrade.
How to decide (3 quick questions)
How complex is your space? (Levels, angles, tight access, or custom requirements usually suit professional install.)
What’s your timeline? (DIY gives flexibility; installation gets you to the finish line faster.)
How hands-on do you want to be? (If you love projects, DIY is rewarding. If you’d rather not manage it, installation is simpler.)
