Deponti Giallo Aluminium Polycarbonate Veranda

The Giallo aluminum veranda is supplied as standard with all posts, gutter profile, wall profile, beams, selected polycarbonate roofing sheets, cover strips and the necessary assembly materials. Fixings for the wall and post are not supplied as they vary depending on the substrate you are fixing to.

As standard, you have the choice between a round or classic decorative gutter and half-round or square posts. Internal rainwater drainage components are supplied as standard for fitting into 2 front posts. Drilling is required for the drainage installation.
The Giallo veranda is available as standard in mm widths of 4060, 5060, 6060 or 7060 as a single section; there is no limit to the number of sections that can be joined end to end.
You will see the ordering sizes as rounded mm dimensions. The ordering dimensions refer to the centre line width of the roof beams and there is a further 30mm either side for the Overall Width, which includes the wall plate and front gutter width.

The roof pitch is recommended to be 157mm for every metre projection (approx. 9 degrees), see measuring tab for further details.

Back wall plate height is 149mm with a rounded profile cover cap with a total height of 185mm
Front gutter profile is 166mm tall with a leaning straight flat profile
Post sizes are 115mm x 150mm square corner edge profile

Number of Posts
The Giallo polycarbonate up to an overall width of 5060 mm is supplied with 2 posts standard. However, models with a projection of 4000 and 6000 mm are supplied with 3 posts.

The Giallo polycarbonate and overall widths of 6060 mm is supplied with 2 posts standard. However, models with a projection of 3500, 4000 and 6000 mm are supplied with 3 posts.
Front post size is 115mm x 150mm x 3000mm as standard and can be cut to suit on site.
Standard 3000mm posts suppplied for concreting into the ground to height required.
 

Important Note on Ordering Width Dimensions...
The centre-to-centre distance between the roof beams of an Giallo polycarbonate veranda is 1000 mm (1 metre). For the glass model the distances are dependent on veranda size ordered.

A roof with five one-metre sections has a total width of 5060 mm. The extra 60 mm is the distance from the centre of the beam to the outside of the beam, which is 30 mm; this extra width is at both ends, for a total of 60 mm.
Therefore if you order a 6000mm wide (Order Width) veranda the Overall Width for the wall plate and front profile and outside of the roof bars will be 6060mm

Projection
The projection dimensions are from the back of the wall plate to the inside face of the front posts and the projection dimensions will never be the exact millimetre dimensions of the ordering options simply because of the roof pitch. If an exact millimetre dimension is required on your site please contact us and discuss.

Rainwater discharge
The Giallo veranda can be easily fitted with rainwater discharge by drilling one or more holes at the position where the front support post meets the horizontal gutter support profile. The post then serves as rainwater discharge pipe. A range of rainwater discharge fittings are available for further connection (EPDM rubber drain ring, 50/60 mm leaf catcher, 60 mm rainwater discharge pipe and bend). Standard components for the installation of 2 rainwater pipe dispersals are included as standard with outlets to front of posts at low level

Dimensions & slope

• This aluminium veranda roof should be installed with a slope of 157mm per metre. (approx. 9 degrees)

The height of the aluminium wall profile and the front clear passage height (distance from bottom of gutter profile to the ground) are completely dependent on each other and determined by this slope.

Posts & joined verandas
• Maximum distance between the upright support posts is 4 metres.
• When verandas are joined, a post is always placed under the coupling.
• The rainwater discharge cannot be placed inside a post above which gutters are joined.

Dimensions and Installation
If you are going to install your Giallo veranda based on the standard dimensions as supplied, you can use the dimension table below.
 

If you require the back wall plate profile section lower or want to make the passage height of the gutter lower, you must:
Subtract the same millimetre dimensions from both these measurements. So if your wall profile is mounted 300mm lower, you must also shorten your front support posts by 300mm (or sink them into the ground a further 300mm) The angle (pitch) of the roof must be maintained within a degree or 2.

If you want to reduce the passage height, you can easily shorten the length of the posts by making a square cut if you are fixing to the ground surface. However, you must then also mount the wall profile the same distance down lower on the wall.

The same applies if you decide or have to mount the wall profile lower on your wall.

Calculations for installation example:
You have a roof with a width of 3000mm and you want to reduce the standard passage height from 2500mm to 2200mm. You therefore shorten your posts by 300mm or you place the posts 300mm into the ground, so the bottom of your gutter is at a height of 2200mm. Your wall profile must therefore be lowered by 300mm, which means that the bottom of the wall profile must be placed at 2960mm - 300mm = 2660mm.

Ground Fixing
An Giallo veranda can be installed on any existing foundation or stone surface if it has sufficient depth and strength for screw or chemical fixings.
For added strength or when there is not a good foundation present, a concrete base can be used. These concrete bases can be easily installed out of sight under the posts with the supplied bolts. The concrete bases are available with or without a rainwater discharge opening.
You could direct rainwater into existing drainage systems around your home if required using the underground drainage holes from these optional bases or into a soakaway.

When measuring for your veranda system please be aware of the ideal pitch of the roof being a drop of 157mm for every 1 metre projection. The slope required on the roof is for efficient rainwater dispersal and has been calculated for this. The standard passage height for a post with footplate is 2500mm and then 3000mm as standard withouth the footplate.
The finished height for the underside of the gutter profile can be adjusted and shortened by cutting the support posts as required on site.
Standard calculations are below for a 2500mm height to underside of guttering profile:

If you choose to place the wall profile lower or make the passage height of the gutter lower, you must: Subtract the same number of millimetres from both of these measurements. So if your wall profile is mounted 300mm lower, you must also shorten your posts by 300mm. If you want to reduce the passage height, you can easily shorten the length of the posts by making a square cut. However, you must then also mount the wall profile the same distance lower on the wall. The same applies if you decide to mount the wall profile lower on the wall.

Example:
You have a veranda roof with a projection of 3000mm and you want to reduce the standard under gutter passage height from 2500mm to 2200mm. You therefore shorten your posts by 300mm or you place the posts 300mm into the ground and concrete, so the bottom of your gutter is at a height of 2200mm. Your wall profile must therefore be lowered by 300mm, which means that the bottom of the wall profile must be placed at 2960mm - 300mm = 2660mm.
