Outdoor living

Verandas for a sheltered space beside your home

Make more of a patio or garden-facing area with a veranda. Shire can help you consider the position, size and relationship with the house and garden.

Verandas design example

Choosing verandas

Plan around the way you spend time outside

Start with the space for a table, seating and movement back into the house. Consider the position of supports and the effect of a roof on nearby windows and doors.

Shelter does not make an outdoor area an enclosed room. Think about the direction of wind and rain, garden levels and the amount of cover you want.

Ask about your project

Scope, cost and fitting

What affects the quotation?

Size, design, installation position, supporting work and roof choices affect veranda costs. Discuss the complete fitted scope.

What happens at the survey?

Review the intended seating area, wall connection and garden access, then consider suitable dimensions and support positions.

Before installation begins

Agree the fixing and support details, access and surrounding finishes, including how water from the roof will be managed.

Questions before you decide

Verandas: your questions

Is a veranda an enclosed conservatory?

No. A veranda provides a covered outdoor area; a conservatory is an enclosed room. Compare them according to how you want to use the space.

Could it affect light into the house?

Its position and roof design can affect nearby rooms. Consider this alongside the amount of shelter you want.

What is the next step?

Arrange a survey to discuss the garden area, the house connection and the size of cover that may suit your home.
