Frequently Asked Questions - Verandas

Q1: What is a Terrace Canopy or Veranda?
A1: Both terms refer to a roofed extension, supported by posts, that covers an outdoor area. They can be built with aluminum or wood frames and topped with polycarbonate or glass roofing.

Q2: Why Choose an Aluminium Veranda?
A2: An aluminum veranda enhances your outdoor space with durability and minimal upkeep. Key benefits include:

  • Cost-effectiveness compared to other materials
  • Strong, long-lasting construction
  • Low maintenance—aluminum resists corrosion and rot
  • Extended lifespan, so one investment lasts for years

Q3: How Should I Maintain My Veranda?
A3: Aluminum verandas require minimal maintenance but benefit from twice-yearly cleaning:

  • Clean with a soft cloth or sponge, water, and a mild soap
  • Polycarbonate roofing needs similar care; avoid harsh tools and keep gutters clear of debris to prevent clogs

Q4: Is Condensation in Polycarbonate Sheets Normal?
A4: Yes, condensation can form due to polycarbonate’s permeability to water vapor, influenced by weather conditions. It doesn’t impact the sheet’s quality and is often less noticeable in opaque options. Contact your Deponti dealer if you have questions.

Q5: Do Pergolas and Verandas Require Foundations?
A5: Absolutely. A quality pergola or veranda requires a solid foundation to safely support its weight and withstand factors like snow loads. Typically, concrete pads are used, but with the right fixtures, it can also be attached to patio slabs or decking. Proper foundations are essential to avoid costly repairs down the road, so it’s best to start with secure support. We can advise on the ideal foundation type during a site visit.

Q6: How Long Does a Terrace Canopy Last?
A6: With regular care, a terrace canopy can last for many years, though lifespan depends on environmental factors.

Q7: Do I Need Planning Permission?
A7: No planning permission is needed for pergolas under 2.5 meters in height and covering less than 50% of your garden area, whether freestanding or attached.

Q8: Can My Veranda Be Customized?
A8: Yes, personalize your veranda with options like retractable screens, integrated heating, and LED lighting to create the perfect ambiance.

Q9: Will a Pergola or Veranda Add Value to My Home?
A9: Yes, adding a luxury pergola or veranda enhances your home’s appeal and can increase its value. These features add a "wow factor" that makes your property more desirable to buyers, helping it stand out in the market. A well-designed, quality pergola or veranda is a great investment, offering lasting enjoyment and appeal for years to come.
