Thousands of so called Homestead designs have been built across the land in recent years; most of them are blots on the landscape, messes caused by builders with a distinct lack of understanding about the requirements of verandahed housing.
In essence the problem lies with suburbia's current wall/ceiling heights. The standard height today is 8' 2.4m the minimum verandah headroom height is 7' 2.1m.
Hang an 8' 2.4m verandah on an 8' external wall and the result is house that looks more like a cow pat with very little if any natural light inside (a miners hat helps).
The solution is at hand Harkaway Homes exclusive high wall system creates the absolutely necessary external wall height needed to successfully carry a verandah in the correct position.
Well positioned verandahs are a great benefit to a house not only by extending the living areas but by allowing in natural light while protecting the interior of your home from the harsh sun and the elements.
