Measuring your Gumax® veranda or carport
The first step is to determine the desired dimensions of your veranda. How wide do you want it to be? How deep does it go into the garden and how high can the passage height of the veranda be? Your choice will also depend on the possibilities of your garden, terrace and home. For this, you need to consider four dimensions; the available depth in your garden, available width (both in the garden and along the home), desired passage height and possible height of attaching the aluminium wall profile to the home. Make sure you note these dimensions and check that the required space on the wall is flat across the entire width and free of obstacles.
Watch the measuring video for the full explanation.
Does your wall have insulation material on the outside? Read more about the options and concerns with insulation material here.

Preparation
Now that you know the available space along your house, you can assess whether the desired passage height of the veranda is possible. Click on the side view to the right to see what dimensions are required for you. In our showroom, we always apply a passage height of 2300mm. Will you start laying a new foundation beforehand? Then take into account the position of the support structures and use this tool to calculate where the support structures will be placed and see the dimensions of the base of a modern support structure and classic support structure. Finally, we recommend paying attention to the load-bearing capacity of the substrate and of the wall against which the veranda with possible glass sliding doors will be placed and the necessary fixing materials.
