A verandah is a large balcony on the level of a ground floor. Its origin can be traced to a Bengali word barandah; same as in Hindi. A verandah can eitehr be full width of the frontage, or extend around the sides and sometimes rear of the building.
Colonial/Federation period domestic dwellings in Queensland and Northern New South Wales Australia are characterised by Verendahs, especially the Queenslander. They are also emblematic of the antebellum U.S. South.
Veranda is a brand of composite decking and railing which is a wood-alternative offering the look of wood without the drawbacks of corroding, splintering, termite damage, or decay. It is a composite material composed of recycled wood and plastic. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
