All of them are structures that are external to a house but still part of the house - mostly used for entertaining outside and curling up with a drink and a book. But to be honest, although the definitions below have been gathered from the pure dictionary definitions, they all still seem a bit vague. We've also heard that a veranda is at the front of a house, the patio at the back - but no evidence in the definitions! Got any tips on what the difference is? Email info@servicecentral.com.au with your comments and hopefully we can get a little more specific! - A veranda has a roof, and is often partly enclosed by a rail or fence. It often is attached to the house on more than one side. Think old colonial buildings with a swing chair on it.
- A porch also has a roof, is attached to the building and also often has rails but is more likely to be enclosed by a screen, lattice, cloth or light walls. Usually, a porch involves the front or back door to allow someone to pause before entering or leaving - so some can be tiny but still qualify as a porch.
- A patio is roofless and is usually tiled or paved.
- A deck is typically a flat surface made of wood. It's often built above the ground leaving a crawl space below, and most often is connected to the building.
- A pergola isn't attached to a building and is like a gazebo.
Regardless of what kind of structure you're looking for - if it is made of wood you need a carpenter or landscaper, and if it's structural and requires changing the facade of your house (including french doors etc) you probably need a builder.
