The existing multi-level deck was large but lived small. The hot tub, angles, and wide steps occupied valuable sitting space. Wood Wise was asked to replace the deck with a covered porch. One challenge for the covered porch is the recessed location off the family room. There are three different pitched roofs to tie into. Also, there are two second floor windows to be considered. The solution is the low-pitched shed roof covered with a rubber membrane. Two Velux skylights are installed in the vaulted ceiling to light up the interior of the home. The white painted Plybead ceiling helps to make it even lighter. The new porch features a corner stone fireplace with a stone hearth and wood mantel. The floor is 5/4” x 4” pressure treated tongue & groove pine. The open grilling deck is conveniently located on the porch level. Fortress metal railing and lighted steps add style and safety. The end result is a beautiful porch that is perfect for intimate family times as well as larger gatherings.

Historic recration in the Muesam District of Richmond Va. This 1925 home originally had a roof over the front porch but past owners had it removed, the new owners wanted to bring back the original look while using modern rot proof material. We started with Permacast structural 12" fluted columns, custom built a hidden gutter system, and trimmed everything out in a rot free material called Boral. The ceiling is a wood beaded ceiling painted in a traditional Richmond color and the railings are black aluminum. We topped it off with a metal copper painted hip style roof and decorated the box beam with some roman style fluted blocks.

This was a handrail we design and fabricated for a client who needed matchbook-style handrails to meet home insurance requirements. These handrails are fabricated from hot-rolled steel, powder-coated in a matte black, and anchored into the concrete.

Traditional Verandah Design Ideas with Metal Railing

A traditional verandah requires careful planning because it is here that you transition from the outside of your home to the inside. A roofed and open, or partly open, portion of a house, a verandah is more than just an entryway to your house. It is here you can play games, sit on a swing chair while sipping lemonade, chat to neighbours, and watch the world go by. Browse the photos on Houzz to see how you can breathe life back into your traditional verandah, or build one onto your home with form and function in mind. You’ll find inspiration for Queenslander verandahs, those with flat, curved, concave and gabled roofs, as well as ideas for flooring and balustrades, to suit all styles of homes, big and small. If you want to dig a little deeper, make sure you check out the Stories or Advice section on Houzz, too.

What style of verandah should I add to my home?

This will be primarily dictated by your budget, space and overall style of your home. Typically, traditional verandahs are integrated into a home’s roofline, so they will most likely always be a pricey renovation. Flat or skillion-roofed verandahs are popular home additions because they can be shaped to fit most house plans, or extend out to other zones, like a pool, for example. A pitched/gabled or curved roof will give you more height and a more open feel, while a concave roof looks best on a verandah attached to a period home. If you need advice, check out our directory of architects.

How can I decorate my traditional verandah?

Your verandah decor should reflect your personality and lifestyle, but most importantly, how you will use the space. If you want it to encourage lounging and people watching, add a hammock, swing chair or daybed – the more seating you have, the more likely you are to use it with friends. Get more from your verandah by including a dining table and chairs, with some feature pendant lighting to draw attention to the zone. You could also go beyond seating, by adding the likes of a console or planters. If you’re spoilt with a view, you can also keep it utterly simple with just two comfy armchairs to sink back into. Add colour through wall hangings, potted plants, pillows and rugs, but remember to opt for fabrics that are waterproof and fade-resistant. If you're unsure, get help from a designer!
