work in his backyard shed designing the original
‘Roof Extenda Bracket’.
RRoof Extenda is now led in a cooperative effort between
second and third generation Dunkinson’s and has expanded
beyond the family to provide jobs on the Mornington Peninsula.
Since then, the initial design has been refined to the
MKII Bracket we distribute today, and is accompanied by the
Shade Sail Anchor, S-Series and now the Safety Anchor.
Each of our products meetEach of our products meet Australian Standards and are
Electroplated with Zinc.
We recommend regular upkeep when used in harsher
environments such as coastal areas.
From backyard beginnings, Roof Extenda distributes its range
of products to Hardware stores Nationwide.

Roof Extenda works with our manufacturers and
Excellent Plating Works Pty Ltd to ensure all of our products are
Electroplated with Zinc to protect the brackets from the elements and
meet the Australian Standards – AS/NZS/ISO 9001:2000
The Zinc plating is applied by immersing our brackets in a Zinc Salt The Zinc plating is applied by immersing our brackets in a Zinc Salt
Solution, and applying an electrical current through the bath.
This applies a layer of pure Zinctha at 8 - 12 Microns thick, without
hampering the installation of our brackets
While we have tested the durability of the brackets with the Zinc Coating, While we have tested the durability of the brackets with the Zinc Coating,
Roof Extenda cannot provide any guarantees on the lifetime of the
