This applies to the dimensions, as well as the materials for the construction and the roof, but also for the finish and decoration. A custom made wooden veranda is therefore really a valuable addition to your home.

Wooden veranda possibilities

A veranda is an extension to your home and therefore a smart, relatively inexpensive extension of your living space. Usually a veranda consists of a roof, supported by wooden posts. There is also often chosen for a separate floor, unlike what is on the bottom of the rest of your garden. As a finish you can choose to place a semi-high fence. This immediately creates a rural appearance. It is also possible to finish part of the veranda with glass or wooden walls. That way you are even more sheltered. If you choose a custom veranda, you can discuss these types of wishes with your specialist. He knows exactly what the possibilities are in your situation.

Appearance of the house

You usually place a wooden veranda over the full width of your house, or if possible, even around your house. You can see wooden porches on both the front and the back of a house. If you choose a veranda at the front of the house, it will immediately give your house a somewhat stately appearance. The entrance of your home changes immediately. But a wooden front porch can also serve a very practical purpose. If your backyard faces north, you immediately create an extra place to sit on the south side with a wooden roof at the front. Great for long summer evenings. At the same time, a veranda at the front has the advantage that you are dry when it rains and you have to fish the house keys out of your bag.

In the vast majority of cases, a wooden veranda is placed at the rear of the house. The patio roof is often really an extension of your home. You create a covered place with it, where your garden set stays nice and dry and where you can enjoy your garden in the shade. Or just nice out of the wind on the first spring days. The possibilities of a wooden veranda are endless and therefore suitable for almost every home.

Tip! Don’t forget to think about the lighting on your veranda. For optimal enjoyment of your veranda it is nice if you can also sit there in the evening. Lighting is then a must. It is smart to think in advance how you see this in front of you. For example, do you want to hide the lighting cords as much as possible or do you opt for recessed spotlights? Then it is advisable to take this directly with you when placing the veranda. You can also do this afterwards, but then the result is often less beautiful and it often takes a lot of extra time.

Need a permit for a wooden veranda at home?

You can usually place a wooden veranda at home at the back without a permit. However, there are exceptions, for example, if the wooden veranda:

• is greater than 30 square meters
• occupies more than 50 percent of the garden area
