Dimensions
Make the most of your outdoor space with the right dimensions. Measure the width, depth and desired clearance height of your veranda in advance. Wondering which clearance height suits your home? View the side elevation of our verandas on this page and calculate the clearance height based on your wall height. Have a smaller garden? Find out how a veranda fits in our article on verandas for small gardens.
Width
Choose from standard widths starting at 3.06 m, increasing by one metre at a time: 3.06 m, 4.06 m, 5.06 m, 6.06 m and so on. You can easily shorten the width to size. For the Gumax® Heavy Duty - Freestanding, choose from 3.06 m, 4.06 m, 6.06 m, 7.06 m or 8.06 m.
Depth
Choose a depth of 2.5, 3, 3.5 or 4 metres. With a polycarbonate roof, you shorten the panels to size yourself for any depth up to 4 m. With a glass roof, we shorten them in advance to the size you specify.
Please note: planning to fit glass sliding doors on the sides? Then choose a standard depth so the glass wedge fits.
Height
Measure the clearance height from the top of the foundation or paving to the flat underside of the gutter or beam. We recommend a clearance height of 2.10 m, 2.15 m, 2.20 m, 2.25 m, 2.30 m or 2.35 m. This way, glass sliding doors always fit perfectly under your veranda and you can easily dig in the spot foundations.

Foundation
A solid foundation keeps your veranda stable and helps prevent subsidence. That's why it's important to place the veranda on a level base that can bear 750 kg per support structure (980 kg for Heavy Duty verandas). We always recommend spot foundations: most tiles crack under this weight. You have three foundation options:
- Placing spot foundations: save time by ordering them with your veranda. Place them level on the paving slabs supplied. Also available with integrated rainwater drainage. Extra benefit: you can still adjust spot foundations during assembly, unlike poured concrete.
- Pouring concrete: place the support structures in the ground and pour concrete around them. Let the concrete cure completely.
- Mounting on an existing base: mount the support structures directly on a sturdy concrete floor or patio that can bear the required weight per support structure.
Draining rainwater through a support structure? Take this into account when laying the foundation. In that case, choose spot foundations with rainwater drainage.

Materials
Gumax® verandas last for years, in all weather conditions. This is thanks to:
- Strong aluminium: 6063-T6 aluminium, 25% stronger than standard 6060-T6. On the Heavy Duty, the gutter and reinforcement sleeves are made of even stronger 6061-T6 aluminium.
- Low maintenance: aluminium lasts a long time and keeps looking good, even with moisture and UV radiation. It needs very little upkeep.
- High-quality coating: Gumax® Excellence Superior Coating (AkzoNobel Interpon), which retains its colour and gloss for years. The matt powder coating is easy to maintain and designed to meet QUALICOAT performance requirements.
- High load capacity: 98 kg/m² for the Heavy Duty**, 80 kg/m² for the Poly Line and Glass Line*. Read more about the Gumax® Heavy Duty veranda.
- Home with external wall insulation? Then mount your veranda with the Gumax® facade insulation mounting system.

Over time, you will definitely see the difference between the coatings. If you opt for Gumax® Excellence, you get a coating that retains its colour and gloss excellently. An excellent matt coating from a global leader in powder coatings that gives you peace of mind. The coating provides:

At Tuinmaximaal, you can always rely on independently tested quality that meets European standards:
- CE marking: every Gumax® veranda meets the strict European requirements for CE marking.
- Produced under TÜV NORD supervision: the aluminium structural components of Gumax® verandas have been inspected by TÜV NORD in accordance with EN 1090-1. The aluminium beams and support structures are produced under the supervision of TÜV NORD, as part of Tuinmaximaal's CE conformity assurance. The certification applies exclusively to the production of the load-bearing metal structure.
- Warranty: always a 10-year Tuinmaximaal warranty when assembled according to the manual.
Number of support structures
The fewer support structures, the clearer your view and the more room to walk through. The number of support structures depends on the width, depth and roof type: the Gumax® Heavy Duty needs the fewest, with a span of up to 6.06 metres without a middle support. Check the tables below to see how many support structures you need per product line. Not sure about the right number? Our customer service team will be happy to help.
Please note: with large spans, the gutter may sag by a few centimetres due to the heavy galvanised steel strip that provides extra strength. This applies to all Gumax® verandas.

Make sunny days more comfortable. Gumax® sun shading reflects around 89% of heat radiation and 73% of visible light. Operate up to 16 strips individually or all at once.
Glass sliding doors
Enjoy your outdoor space all year round. Glass sliding doors shelter you from wind and rain, while keeping the view of your garden.
Shading Panel
Find your own balance between light, shade and privacy. Choose from three slat spacings and slide the panels into the position you want.

Gumax® LED spots
Create the right atmosphere at any moment. The warm light dims in six steps. Easily adjust the brightness with the remote control. Choose a 4-set or 6-set of 3-watt spots.
Gumax® standing patio heater
Stay outside longer, even on chilly days. The 2100-watt halogen heater gives off instant warmth and heats a seating or dining area of up to 21 m².
Gumax® gutter leaf guard
Keep your gutter clean with ease. The leaf guard helps stop leaves and dirt, and simply clips into the gutter without drilling or screws. The sleek design in coated aluminium covers the entire gutter and prevents blockages.
Maintenance
Clean the aluminium frame and glass roof panels of your veranda with the Gumax® cleaning kit. For cleaning the roof, we recommend using an extendable squeegee. First, gently remove attached dirt with the included microfibre cloths or rinse the surface to avoid scratching. Do not use abrasives and/or scouring pads for cleaning.
Tuinmaximaal recommends cleaning the aluminium frame in areas with salt water at least twice a year. In other areas, once a year is sufficient. Also, regularly remove leaves and debris from your gutter to prevent gutter clogging.
Entering the roof
The roof of the veranda is not intended for walking or standing on. Nevertheless, if you do enter the roof, keep the following in mind. At all times, make sure you distribute the weight across several beams by using a plate or plank to stand on. You can put rubber mats under the boards to prevent damage to the roof. Importantly, a maximum of one person at a time should enter the roof to clean it.
*Gumax® Poly Line and Glass Line verandas can bear a weight of 80 kg/m². This corresponds to a ground snow load (Sk) of 100 kg, based on the snow load calculation according to the harmonised standard EN 1991-1-3.
** The Gumax® Heavy Duty veranda can bear a weight of 98 kg/m². This corresponds to a ground snow load (Sk) of 122 kg, based on the snow load calculation according to the harmonised standard EN 1991-1-3.
