Colourbond® Colours & Exterior Cladding Profiles for Lifestyle Backyard Pods
Choosing the right exterior finish is one of the most important decisions when designing your backyard pod. The colour and cladding profile don’t just affect how your pod looks — they influence heat performance, maintenance, how well it blends with your home, and even long-term resale appeal.
At Lifestyle Backyard Pods, we offer a carefully selected range of Colorbond® steel colours and two premium exterior cladding profiles to suit modern Australian homes and backyards.
Colourbond® Colours Available
Colorbond® steel is designed for Australian conditions — durable, low maintenance, and colour-stable. Below are the most popular colours we offer for our pods.
🌿 Pale Eucalypt
A soft, natural green inspired by native foliage. Perfect for gardens, leafy suburbs, and backyards where you want the pod to blend into nature rather than stand out.
Best for: Garden offices, studios, family rooms
🌲 Woodland Grey
A deep, earthy green-grey that feels grounded and architectural. This colour works beautifully with timber decks and landscaped yards.
Best for: Modern homes, bush settings
⚫ Monument
A bold, charcoal-grey colour that delivers a premium, architectural look. Monument is one of our most requested colours for contemporary backyard pods.
Best for: Modern designs, minimalist homes, strong contrast
🌌 Night Sky
A true black finish that makes a strong statement. Night Sky is sleek, modern, and striking — ideal if you want your pod to feel like a designer feature.
Best for: High-end studios, offices, creative spaces
☁️ Shale Grey
A soft, neutral grey that suits almost any property style. Shale Grey is subtle, elegant, and timeless.
Best for: All-rounder choice, matching existing homes
🌾 Paperbark
A warm, sandy beige inspired by Australian landscapes. Paperbark works beautifully in coastal or light-toned settings.
Best for: Coastal homes, natural palettes
🪨 Basalt
A cool mid-grey with a modern edge. Basalt sits perfectly between light and dark, making it a versatile contemporary choice.
Best for: Urban homes, modern backyards
