About this product
Will it suit your space?
Check the sizes table below for the footprint, height and door opening of each size and veranda option. Check the space with the overhang included, and leave room all round to build it and to treat the timber each year. It needs a firm, flat and level base such as concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame base; grass, soil or loose gravel will move under the weight.
