Gable Verandah Adelaide

A gable verandah has a pitched (A-shaped) roof, mirroring the gable end of a traditional Adelaide home. The most popular verandah profile in Adelaide because it matches the look of brick veneer and Federation roofs. Pitched roofs shed water better and feel more permanent than flat-roof options. A standard 6m x 4m gable verandah in Adelaide runs $12,000-$20,500.

When you need gable verandah

• Your home has a gable roof and you want a matching extension
• You want water to shed off the verandah quickly during winter storms
• You want a more 'finished' look than a flat verandah
• You're entertaining the option of a cathedral ceiling underneath

What's included in a proper quote

• Pitched roof framing at matching pitch (typically 22-25 degrees)
• Colorbond gable end cladding or fascia close-off
• Engineered structural framing for wind region A2
• Optional cathedral ceiling lining underneath
• Council DA lodgement if over 20m2 or on heritage property

Adelaide-specific considerations

Gable verandahs dominate the Adelaide post-war brick veneer market (Modbury, Salisbury, Marion, Mitcham). For Federation homes in Norwood/Unley, a bullnose (curved) profile is often more historically accurate. Heritage councils often prefer like-for-like restoration of original gable verandahs.
