A roof keeps the rain off. Sides keep the wind off — and that is the difference between a veranda you use in April and one you only use in July.
The edge of the fabric is welded into a zip that runs inside the guide. A gust cannot suck it out, which is the failure every side screen without one eventually has — and the reason the cheap ones end up tied back permanently.
An open-weave fabric reads as a tinted window from the inside and as a wall from outside in daylight. You lose the glare and the wind, not the garden.
Guides fix to the posts, not to the glass, and the fabric runs from the beam to the floor in one piece. No gap at the bottom for a draught to find.
Screens are sized to the posts you have, and the posts are rarely where a drawing says they are. Send us the opening — a photograph and a rough width and drop is enough to start — and we come back with a price and a lead time in writing.
Under-roof shading is the one system you can configure and buy online today. The rest start with a conversation.
Within the system's wind rating, yes — that is what the zip is for. Above it, no screen should be out, and ours retracts on a wind sensor if you add one. We will tell you the rating in writing with the quote rather than here, because it depends on the width of your bay.
It sheds a shower blowing against it and it is not a wall. For a side you want closed and dry all winter, look at the glass sliding doors instead.
Usually not, and we would rather you did not. The guides have to be plumb to each other within a few millimetres over the full drop or the zip binds. Under-roof shading is built for self-fitting; this is not.
The frame is powder-coated in any RAL, and the standard three match the under-roof profiles — cream white, anthracite and jet black. Fabric colours come with the quote.
Blackout honeycomb that runs under your glass, between the rafters. Cut to your centimetre and sent flat.
Toughened panes in a slim track that stack to one side, so the veranda closes in winter and opens in summer.
Insulated aluminium slats in a guide either side, outside the glass. Dark, quiet, warmer, and shut.
