Verandas

Geelong Verandah is one of the best verandah builders in Geelong. We will design and build a verandah to your custom requirements. Pergolas are often also called verandahs.  However, the main difference between the two is that a verandah is  always attached to a house. In contrast, a pergola can be a stand alone  building. Verandahs are particularly good at shading a home during  Victoria's hot summers.

At the heart of any verandah is a desire to enhance a home and provide an Outdoor living space. All verandahs have a roof.

As we are specialised verandah builders we can build whatever style of verandah you desire!

This is especially important, as most verandahs need be customised and built to suit the location and purpose they are going to be built for.

The role of the verandah has evolved over the years.  It is no longer a place that provides but an entertaining and outdoor  living space that becomes the heart of the home during the summer  months.

To make sure you  get the most out of your verandah, consider the following when selecting  the verandah that best suits your needs:

Most verandahs  are designed to provide an outdoor living space or alfresco kitchen where  people can enjoy the outdoors as an extension of their living space,  whilst having some protection from the weather elements. This requires a  balance of openness and protection in the design of the verandah.

Having open sides on your verandah allows natural air flow and  cooling. However, wind, rain and cool weather can reduce your enjoyment  of the space.

For this reason you may decide to have protective walls in your  verandah. This is especially important if you are using the area as an alfresco kitchen.

It will mean that you will be able to use your outdoor space even when Melbourne weather is not at it's best!

Verandahs always  have a roof. Different designs can be integrated into the lattice and  frame of your verandah to make it visually appealing. Common styling for  verandah roofs include flat, curved, gable and cantilevered

Roof sheets on verandahs provide improved protection against the sun in summer and the rain in winter. Colorbond roofing is a popular choice for verandahs, Colorbond comes in a variety of colours and corrugation styles so can be matched to most styles of homes to provide a long lasting roof.

A current popular trend for verandah roofing is Laserlite. This  is a hard transparent plastic which comes in a range of tints. The  range of tints is from clear to gun metal. Made  in corrugation sheets, it provides  protection against sun glare, rain  and falling leaves. This is all done without blocking out the direct  sun.

As roofing is always used for a verandah,  thought needs to be given to where the water will go when it rains.   Gutters and down pipes need to be incorporated for storm water.

Sometimes you can connect to an existing system, but this depends on the roof heights.

Other options for your vernandah include collecting water to fill a  swimming pool or getting a rain water tank to water gardens and lawns  from.

Verandahs can be constructed from almost any material.  Timber options include all the Varieties of hardwood used for decking, but also extend to softwoods like radiata pine or oregon.

Most verandahs have a painted finish for colour selection and ease of  maintenance.  Timber verandahs can be varnished with or without a stain  when the grain of the wood is to be left visible.

Geelong Veranda will design and build your verandah to meet your specific requirements.

Your backyard is an extension of your home, so why not create a space you can enjoy all year round? A veranda will increase the value of your property and give you more living space.
