This video was made according to the 2019 assembly requirements.You should be able to enjoy yourself safely under your veranda. Where other brands use 6060-T6 aluminium, Gumax® verandas are made from the 25% stronger 6063-T6 aluminium. An even stronger type of aluminium is used for the Heavy Duty veranda's; the 6061-T6 aluminium. The materials we use offer many advantages. For instance, it is very low maintenance, has a long lifespan and is not affected by moisture or UV radiation. All aluminium profiles of Gumax® verandas are powder coated with Gumax® Excellence Superior Powder Coating.

An excellent matt coating from a global leader in powder coatings that gives you peace of mind. The coating provides:

Did you know that Gumax® glass roofs have a unique panel width of 98cm? As a result, Gumax® verandas with glass roofs require fewer intermediate beams than other types of verandas with glass roofs. This creates a luxurious look and lets you enjoy unobstructed views.
When doing measurements for your veranda, keep in mind three variable dimensions, namely width, depth and height. Want to know how much headroom you can have for your veranda? This page shows the side view of our verandas. Here you calculate the possible clearance height(s) using the available wall height of your home.
The width can easily be shortened to size.
Tuinmaximaal recommends applying a clearance height of 2.10m, 2.15m, 2.20m, 2.25m, 2.30m or 2.35m. The clearance height is measured from the top of the foundation/paving to the flat underside of the gutter/beam. With these dimensions, the glass sliding doors under the veranda always fit exactly and the spot foundations can still be dug in easily.
The number of support structures you will need depends on the width, depth, roof type and which type of veranda you choose. The table shows the number of support structures needed to keep the veranda sturdy. Thanks to the extra sturdy gutter and intermediate beams of the Gumax® Heavy Duty veranda, this variant requires fewer support structures. Up to a maximum width of 6.06m and a depth of 4m, this veranda requires the minimum number of support structures (2), allowing you to enjoy unobstructed views and walking space.
Note: With large spans, it is possible for the gutter to sag up to several centimetres in the middle due to the weight of the steel strip. However, this heavy galvanised strip is required for sufficient strength for the gutter. This applies to all veranda variants.

A Gumax® veranda should be mounted on a substrate that can support a weight of up to 750 kg per support structure. We advise you to always use (spot) foundation, as most tiles crack under this weight. Installing spot foundation has the advantage that they can still be adjusted slightly during assembly. This is not possible when pouring concrete. As rainwater is drained through at least one of the veranda’s support structures, you should take this into account when placing foundations under the support structures. Tuinmaximaal offers a solution to this, which can also be seen below, namely spot foundation with RWD.
Before you get started with foundation assembly (with or without using Gumax spot foundation), we recommend taking a look at the two tools below.
These are the options when installing foundation;
- Mounting on spot foundation. Level the spot foundation on the supplied paving stones;
- Placing support structures in the ground and pouring and curing concrete;
- Placing support structures on the terrace. The terrace must then be strong enough to support 750kg per support structure.
- Where will the support structures of the veranda be placed?
You can clean the aluminium frame and roof panels of your veranda with a soft cloth or sponge and lukewarm soapy water and a non-degreasing soap. For cleaning the roof, it is advisable to use an extendable squeegee. Carefully remove attached dirt with a soft cloth or sponge so as not to damage the paintwork. After cleaning, rinse the veranda with lots of water. Do not use abrasives and/or scouring pads for cleaning.
Tuinmaximaal recommends cleaning the aluminium frame in areas with salt water at least twice a year. In other areas, once a year is sufficient. Also, regularly remove leaves and debris from your gutter to prevent gutter clogging.
Entering the roof
The roof of the veranda is not intended for walking or standing on. Nevertheless, if you do enter the roof, keep the following in mind. At all times, make sure you distribute the weight across several beams by using a plate or plank to stand on. You can put rubber mats under the boards to prevent damage to the roof. Importantly, a maximum of one person at a time should enter the roof to clean it.
