Pergolas and verandas are both garden structures that share some similarities. As a result of this, sometimes the two terms are use synonymously, leading some to believe that they are the same thing.

 

Although they can both be found in the garden, pergolas and verandas are two very different things. If you’re looking to add a garden structure to your home, it’s probably best to know the difference between a pergola and a veranda!

Verandas are quickly becoming the one thing that every British homeowner wants in their garden. In a recent survey, we asked 400 people what they would most like to add to their outdoor spaces, and of the 16 available options, 'Veranda / Sheltered Area' was the most popular answer. That's right: it seems that verandas are now even more highly sought-after than hot tubs!

 

Demand for verandas and garden rooms has been through the roof since the UK locked down in response to the first wave of COVID-19 cases last spring. The government's 'stay at home' rules left many people seeking a way to enjoy a feeling of escape without leaving the house, and adding a veranda is a great way to create an outdoor sanctuary that's a world away from the chaos of the kitchen table that's now also a home working space. (Read our case study to find out how a couple from Salisbury overcame their remote working fatigue with the help of a SunSpaces veranda.)
