Melwood Verandah
Melwood Verandah
Designed with seamless indoor-outdoor living in mind, the traditionally styled pitched-roof Verandah, with its full-width covered deck, offers an invitation to enjoy the beauty of its surrounds.
Your Verandah.
As Easy As 1, 2, 3.
Like every Melwood, your Verandah is designed around you and available in three size ranges – the Mini, the Shed and the Studio.
Customise your Shed or larger Studio in these three easy steps:
1 Choose your size
12m2 to 54m2 or larger, with flexible panel configurations to set the width and length.
2 Select your wall height
The Shed’s standard 2.1m walls can be upgraded to 2.4m, while the Studio features 2.4m walls as standard, with an optional upgrade to 3.0m.
3 Personalise your design
Choose your cladding and colours, and select from a vast range of window and door styles and sizes, along with their placement.
For an even simpler option, the scaled-down Mini Verandah offers the same classic style in a compact, approval-friendly footprint. With a floor under 10m2 and the overall height kept below 2.4m, it’s a set package that’s ready to go, with no decisions to make.
One Verandah.
Multiple Ways.
The Verandah is a versatile design with classic country style that can be transformed through personalisation to seamlessly suit differing purposes and settings.
With its effortless flow between inside and out, it’s a popular choice for creating guest accommodation, a practical workspace or a relaxing retreat.
But the possibilities only begin there. Explore how customers have used the Verandah in a multitude of other ways, from hobby rooms to business premises, home offices to flexible extra living spaces.

FAQs
The Verandah is a traditionally styled design in the Melwood range, defined by its classic pitched roof and a full-width covered deck that connects inside and out. Like every Melwood, it can be personalised through its size, wall height, windows, doors, cladding and colours to create multiple different aesthetics, from classic country to relaxed coastal.
The Verandah comes in three size ranges with options available for both habitable and non-habitable use. The Mini is a fixed design kept under 10m², with 1.8m walls to keep the overall height under 2.4m. The Shed and Studio are both fully customisable, with your choice of windows, doors, cladding and finishes. The Shed sizes range from 12m² to 20m², with 2.1m walls as standard and an optional upgrade to 2.4m, while the larger Studio has sizes from 23m² to 54m² or more, with 2.4m walls as standard and an optional upgrade to 3.0m. The specification table above compares them in full, and if none of the standard sizes suit your space, other sizes and custom options are available on request. Find out more about the choices you can make in our complete guide to personalisation options.
A covered deck effectively adds a second outdoor living space and connects inside with out. It’s ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, as a shaded spot to relax or read, for a sheltered morning coffee, or simply to sit back and take in the surroundings. Because it’s covered, it stays usable in most weather, extending how much of the year you can spend outside enjoying your garden.
The Verandah’s easy flow between inside and out makes it a popular choice for guest accommodation and granny flats, or as a home office, business premises or relaxing garden retreat. Its versatile, practical design is also well-suited to hobby rooms, creative studios, workshops and potting sheds.
