Adding a free standing veranda to your property is a great way to create a covered terrace that is completely detached from your home. Perhaps you are looking to create a serene space to wind down after a hectic day or to simply create a sheltered garden space that provides protection against the elements of nature and falling leaves, a free standing veranda is an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic beauty of your outdoor space.
Free standing verandas made out of aluminium have a strong weather-resistant frame that stays the same year after year. With its own back and side walls and an attractive ceiling, a free standing veranda can give your outdoor space that elegant, high-end look without breaking the bank.
Depending on your preferences for roofing, you can choose between a thick, toughened safety glass and polycarbonate. You can select the type of polycarbonate material that serves your purpose, depending on the amount of sunlight you wish to permit.
The clear polycarbonate is ideal if you want a bright ambience when the sun is up. The opal polycarbonate moderates the amount of sunshine coming through but if you prefer a heat repelling material, the IR clear polycarbonate blocks 68% of heat coming through. The roof shade system and roof blinds add flexibility to the amount of sunlight you want to shut out at any particular time and there are a variety of colours to choose from.
Guttering is essential for effective drainage of the roof and various gutter designs are available to choose from. The standard gutter works perfectly in any environment but elegant gutter covers in various designs are also available to add to the beauty of the veranda.
LED spotlights will brighten the interior of the veranda when it's dark and allow you to spend more time in your veranda at night if you choose to do so. They can conveniently be controlled by a remote device. An outdoor heater can also be installed to make your veranda cosier on a cold day.

Not only will a veranda provide protection from rain - it will most likely increase the value of your home as well.
