What Is a Veranda?
A veranda is a covered outdoor structure attached to the rear (or sometimes the side) of your home, creating a sheltered space between your house and garden. Unlike a conservatory or extension, a veranda is open at the sides — giving you that wonderful feeling of being outdoors while still being protected from the elements.
Verandas are typically built with an aluminium frame and a roof of either glass or polycarbonate, supported by posts at the front. They’re fixed to the wall of your home above the rear door or patio doors, and they sit over your existing patio or decking — no groundworks or foundations usually needed.
They’re incredibly versatile. A veranda can serve as:
- An outdoor seating area where you can relax whatever the weather
- A covered patio area for dining al fresco, even in a light shower
- An entertaining space for family gatherings and barbecues
- A garden shelter for your furniture, protecting it from rain and sun bleaching
- An extension of your living space — especially useful when paired with glass sliding doors
Once you have a veranda, it’s hard to imagine life without one.
Why Choose an Aluminium Veranda?
Aluminium is the ideal material for a garden veranda. Here’s why homeowners across Staffordshire and the Midlands consistently choose it:
Low maintenance. Aluminium doesn’t rot, warp, or rust. Unlike timber structures, you won’t need to repaint or re-treat it every year. A quick wipe-down occasionally is all it needs.
Weather protection. A quality aluminium veranda is designed to handle the British climate. The structures we fit are weatherproof and built to cope with rain, wind, and UV exposure year after year.
Year-round use. Because your patio is covered, you can sit outside from January to December — not just on the rare sunny days. Add optional heating or lighting and your veranda becomes a genuine four-seasons outdoor room.
Durability. Aluminium frames are strong and built to last decades. The powder-coated finish resists fading and discolouration, keeping your veranda looking great long-term.
Clean, modern aesthetics. Aluminium profiles are slim and stylish, giving your veranda a contemporary look that complements most property styles — from traditional brick homes to more modern builds.
Customisable. From the colour and roof type to the size and optional extras, aluminium verandas can be tailored to suit your space and budget.
Veranda Styles & Options We Install
We work with the Deponti range of aluminium verandas, which gives our customers access to a variety of system styles — from classic and understated through to contemporary and feature-led. Here’s a summary of the key systems we can offer:
Deponti Bosco — Our Bestseller
The Bosco is Deponti’s most popular veranda, and it’s easy to see why. It offers an exceptional level of finish at a price point that represents outstanding value. Available in four colours — white (RAL9001), anthracite grey (RAL7024), traffic white (RAL9016), and black (RAL9005) — the Bosco can be tailored with your choice of gutter style (round or classic) and post style (half-round or square).
The Bosco is built on a modular system, meaning it can be configured to almost any width and projection. It’s available with a polycarbonate roof in opal, clear, ultra-clear, or solar-control variants.
- Available widths: 4060mm to 7060mm (and beyond — it’s linkable)
- Available projections: 2500mm to 6000mm
- Roofing: 16mm polycarbonate (multiple options)
- Great for: Homeowners who want a well-finished, versatile veranda at a competitive price
Deponti Pigato — Glass Roof Luxury
If you want the beauty of a veranda with a glass roof, the Pigato is the system for you. It’s Deponti’s premium classic veranda, featuring a reinforced gutter profile that allows it to carry a laminated safety glass roof — giving you a flood of natural light without compromising on protection.
The Pigato is available in the same four colour options as the Bosco, with round or classic gutter styles and half-round or square posts. It can also be fitted with polycarbonate if preferred.
- Available widths: 4060mm to 7060mm (and beyond)
- Available projections: 2500mm to 6000mm
- Roofing: 8.8mm laminated safety glass (or polycarbonate)
- Great for: Homeowners who want a light, airy, high-quality feel — without going over budget
Deponti Giallo — Robust & Characterful
The Giallo is a bold, architectural veranda with a straight gutter profile and rectangular posts (115×150mm), giving it a solid, distinctive look. It’s designed to create wide spans — up to 6 metres on just two posts — making it well suited to larger garden spaces or longer rear elevations.
The Giallo is available with polycarbonate or glass roofing and comes in a choice of four colours.
- Available widths: 4060mm to 7060mm (and beyond)
- Available projections: 2500mm to 6000mm
- Great for: Homeowners wanting a statement design with a wider span
Deponti Pinela Deluxe Plus — Louvred Roof Veranda
For those who want the ultimate control over light and airflow, the Pinela Deluxe Plus is a premium louvred roof veranda. Rather than a fixed glass or polycarbonate roof, it features motorised aluminium louvres that can be slid to one side to create a fully open space above your terrace — or closed to provide complete weather protection.
It comes with SOMFY remote control as standard, integrated LED lighting built into the gutter, and can be configured as wall-mounted or freestanding.
- Available widths: 3124mm to 6980mm (linkable)
- Available projections: 3000mm to 4500mm
- Roofing: Motorised louvre panels (SOMFY controlled)
- Colours: RAL9016 / RAL7024 / RAL9005
- Great for: Homeowners who want the most versatile, feature-rich outdoor living experience
Glass Roof or Polycarbonate Roof — Which Is Right for You?
This is one of the most common questions we get asked, and there’s no single right answer.
Polycarbonate is lighter, more affordable, and available in different tint options (opal for a more diffused light; solar control to reduce heat build-up in summer). It’s excellent for most domestic installations and performs very well in terms of durability and weather resistance.
Safety glass (laminated or thermally strengthened) gives a cleaner, more premium appearance, feels more solid, and lets in more natural light. It’s the better choice if you want your veranda to feel like a genuine extension of your home, or if aesthetics are a priority.
We’ll discuss both options with you during your free consultation and help you choose based on your budget, use case, and the orientation of your garden.
Optional Extras — Making the Most of Your Veranda
One of the great things about the Deponti range is how well it integrates with a range of optional accessories that can take your veranda from a simple patio cover to a true outdoor room.
Fiano Glass Sliding Doors
Deponti’s Fiano glass sliding doors can be fitted to the sides of your veranda to create a fully enclosed garden room. Available in multiple profile colours and panel widths, with 10mm toughened glass, they’re compatible with any brand of veranda. Adding sliding doors means you can use the space even in wind and cold — effectively gaining an extra room.
LED Lighting
Enjoy your veranda well into the evening with integrated LED lighting. Options include discreet LED spotlights fitted between the roof beams, and Lumassina LED strip lighting around the gutter — both dimmable for the perfect ambience.
Side Walls & Side Elements
Aluminium-framed side walls with polycarbonate panels can be added to the sides of your veranda to provide shelter from wind and driving rain, without fully enclosing the space.
Motorised (SOMFY) Control
On systems like the Pinela Deluxe Plus and Pinela Glass, SOMFY remote controls allow you to operate the roof and lighting from your chair. IO-compatible for smart home integration.
Colour Choices
All Deponti verandas are available in a range of RAL colours. The most popular are anthracite grey (RAL7024) and black (RAL9005), which complement modern rendered or brick homes. White and cream options are available for more traditional properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a veranda?
In most cases, no. Verandas are typically covered under permitted development rights, provided they meet certain size and height criteria. We’ll always advise you on this as part of your free consultation. For properties in conservation areas or listed buildings, additional checks may be needed.
How long does veranda installation take?
Most standard veranda installations are completed within one to two days, depending on size and configuration. We’ll confirm timescales once we’ve assessed your project.
Can a veranda be installed on any surface?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Verandas can be fitted over existing patios, decking, concrete, or paving. If additional post foundations are needed, we’ll discuss this with you.
How much does a veranda cost?
Pricing varies depending on the system, size, roofing type, and any optional extras. We don’t publish fixed prices because every installation is different — but we can assure you we’re competitively priced and transparent about costs from the start. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
What’s the difference between a veranda and a garden room?
A veranda is an open-sided structure attached to the house. A garden room is fully enclosed. However, by adding glass sliding doors to a veranda, you can effectively create a hybrid — a garden room feel with the option to open it up fully in good weather.
