The sides are what
make a veranda
A roof keeps the rain off. Wind coming in from the side is what actually stops people sitting out there. These two additions close that side in, they fit any range we sell, and both retrofit to a veranda you already have.
How an addition works
You do not have to decide everything at once. The frames are built to take the sides later.
Glass side walls and sliding doors
From £3,149 supplied and delivered
This is the single most common upgrade our customers come back for. A roof keeps the rain off, but wind coming in from the side is what actually stops people using the space.
The panels are 10 mm toughened safety glass on a sliding track, so they open right back in summer and close the space in when the weather turns. Fitted to an existing veranda they roughly double the number of months it gets used.
What it is good for
- Upgrading an existing veranda
Fits the frame you already have, no need to start again.
- Wind and driving rain
Stops the weather coming in sideways, which a roof alone cannot.
- Flexible open plan
Slide fully open in summer, closed in autumn.

Grillo
From £2,449 supplied and delivered
Grillo is not a roof. It is the side of the structure, and it is usually the thing that turns a veranda people rarely sit under into one they use constantly.
Fixed aluminium louvres block low sun and the prevailing wind while still letting air through, so the space underneath does not get stuffy. They also deal with the most common real world problem, which is being overlooked by a neighbouring window.
What it is good for
- Overlooked gardens
Screens the view in without walling the space off.
- Windy plots
Breaks the wind that otherwise makes a covered patio unusable.
- Existing verandas
Retrofits to a frame that is already up.

Pick the range they go on
Both additions fit every range we sell. Choose the roof first, then decide how much of the sides you want to close in.
