It combines a marine-grade powder-coated aluminium frame, laminated safety glass and an oversized, reinforced drainage system, all engineered for UK loads. Nothing about it is lightweight; it is specified for the long term.

A wide glass roof sheds a large volume of water quickly in a storm. The extra-large gutter is sized to swallow that runoff and clear it through the downpipes fast, rather than letting it back up along the frame.

It works both ways. Wall-mounted, it makes a substantial lean-to along the house; freestanding on posts, it stands as a standalone structure. Your layout and where you want the covered space decides which suits.

Both are premium verandas; the Pigato leans into heavy-duty drainage and custom styling, while the Giallo emphasises open frontage and minimal posts. The Pigato is the pick when robust rainwater handling leads your priorities.

Very little. Wash the aluminium frame a couple of times a year, wipe the glass occasionally, and keep the large gutter clear of leaves so it drains freely. That routine keeps it performing and looking good for years.
