Verandahs

Verandahs are used for two main reasons, one is for shade and the other is for appearance, and depending where you live and what you want your dwelling to look like, both are quite important.

There are four main types of verandah:

  1. Standard or flat - the sheets are flat, with no curve
  2. Slight curve or convex - a slight outer curve
  3. Slight reverse curve or concave - a slight inner curve
  4. Bullnose - rounding the front of the sheet

Each type will give a totally different effect to a dwelling, and the costs are quite different as well. Have a look below for full details on each.

Standard of flat verandah

 

Slight curve or convex

 

 

 

 

Slight reverse curve or concave

 

Bullnose Style

The term 'bullnose' just means the curving on the front of the sheet, so if you ever see a verandah with even the slightest curve on the front of the sheet, it is deemed to be a bullnosed verandah. Typically there is a section of straight sheet from the wall out and then the curve starts. The length of the straight sheeting and the size and diameter of the curve all depend on the clients wishes.

This picture shows a bullnose verandah on an older house, with a small curve on the front of the sheets. This gives the house a federation or heritage look but will not offer much more shade than a standard verandah.

To increase the shading all you would have to do is increase the size of the curve and the width of your verandah.
