Veranda costs in 2026: what determines the price?

"What does a veranda cost?" is the question we hear most often. The honest answer: it depends on what you want. A VerandaGo veranda is made to measure, so there is no fixed price list. There are, however, a few choices that largely determine the price. Once you know them, you know exactly what to look for in a quote.

1. The size

The biggest factor is the number of square metres. A veranda of 4 × 3 metres (12 m²) needs less aluminium, fewer roof panels and less installation time than one of 6 × 3.5 metres (21 m²). In our quotes you will see that we roughly distinguish three groups: smaller than 15 m², 15 to 25 m² and larger than 25 m².

A few practical tips:

• Measure your patio and think about how you use it. A dining table with six chairs needs more room than a lounge corner.
• Mind the depth: 3 metres is comfortable for a table, 3.5 metres leaves room to walk past it.
• Bigger is not always better. A veranda that fits the facade looks calmer than one that covers the whole garden.

2. The roof: polycarbonate or glass

After the size, the roof type is the most important price factor. Polycarbonate panels (16 mm thick, clear or opal) are cheaper than glass. A glass roof of 8.76 mm laminated safety glass is heavier and more expensive, but gives maximum daylight and an open, luxurious look.

Which suits you best is explained in Polycarbonate or glass roof: which suits your garden?. The short version: if you sit in strong sun a lot, opal polycarbonate is often the smartest choice. If you want to see the sky, choose glass.

3. Colour and finish

We supply our aluminium frame as standard in anthracite (RAL 7016), black (RAL 9005) and cream (RAL 9001). These are the colours you also see in our showroom. If you choose a glass roof, you can also choose between a round or a classic straight decorative gutter. That kind of finish has limited influence on the price, but a big one on how the veranda suits your home.

4. Options that make the difference

This is where quotes from different companies often diverge. Check carefully what is and is not included:

Glass sliding walls can also be added later. Many customers start with the cover and extend after a season. Do mention it when requesting a quote, so we allow for it in the construction.

5. Installation and your situation

A veranda is attached to your facade and stands on posts. Your situation determines the work:

• Ground. Will the posts stand on solid paving, or is a foundation needed?
• Facade. Is the wall straight and load-bearing? Is a gutter, outdoor tap or light in the way?
• Access. Can our team reach the back garden with materials?

We look at these points during the free site survey. That is why our quote contains no allowance for "unforeseen": we have seen what needs to be done.

What is always included in the price at VerandaGo?

• A personal site survey and advice, at your home or in the showroom in Nijmegen.
• Installation by our own team, usually within one or two days.
• A 10-year warranty on the product and on the installation.
• Payment afterwards: you only pay once everything has been delivered to your satisfaction.

How to compare quotes fairly

1. Compare the same size and the same roof type.
2. Check the thickness of the roof panels (ours: 16 mm polycarbonate or 8.76 mm laminated glass).
3. See whether installation, removal of packaging and warranty are included.
4. Ask about the warranty period on installation, not just on the material.
5. Look at the payment terms: paying in advance is a risk you do not need to take.
