WHAT IS THE VERANDA DIFFERENCE?Veranda Luxury Pontoons understand that not all boats are created and built the same, which is why we developed the “Veranda Difference.” Toggle below to view each of the 11 different components relating to our construction techniques that culminate in the best foundation in the business. A lifetime of enjoyment awaits!
Patented All-Aluminum All-Welded Interlocking Deck System
Our competitor’s plywood decks are void of moisture, rot, and mold at the time of purchase, but are a ticking time bomb. Exposure to the sun’s UV rays, weather, and moisture deteriorates the plywood which allows it to absorb countless gallons of water that starts the rotting process which separates and invites mold to grow. Ultimately, this cycle of deterioration forces owners to either invest more money into the same pontoon to re-deck it or sell it and purchase a newer vessel. Our patented all-aluminum, all-welded, interlocking deck system firmly revolutionized how luxury pontoons decks are built. It’s the most durable platform in the industry. Our no wood, not rot construction guarantee means you don’t have to worry about the construction of your Veranda while you enjoy your investment for years to come.
Patented Extruded Aluminum Planks
Unlike our competitors who use plywood or composite materials for their decking, Veranda relies upon aluminum planks, which are both lighter and stronger. Veranda’s patented 2×6 aluminum planks are extruded, creating hollow chambers that reduce weight and allow for the movement of air, which accelerates cooling, keeping your deck surface cool even during the hottest summer months. The extruded aluminum planks are interlocked and welded directly to industry-leading full-length m-brackets. Studies found temperatures on our Patented All-Aluminum All-Welded Interlocking Deck System were over 15 degrees cooler than our competitor’s decks, which your feet will surely appreciate.
Industry-Leading 0.100 Thickness Pontoon Tubes
While others in the industry build with thinner material, our 25” and 27” diameter pontoon logs come standard with 0.100-thickness tubes, with rough water and high-performance horsepower packages also available. Veranda Luxury Pontoons use round pontoons because they are the strongest shape that aluminum can be formed giving our customers the best product possible. The symmetrical design means the diameter stays the same regardless of where you measure it. The larger diameter tubes that we use provide additional flotation and allow for more capacity on top, so you don’t have to leave anyone back on the shore.
Full-Length Enclosed M-Brackets
M-brackets are the saddle between the logs below and the deck above. Most of our competitor’s M-brackets do not run the full length of the log and are open on the ends, allowing additional moisture to access the deck above, adding weight and reducing performance. Veranda Luxury Pontoons installs full-length M-brackets for increased support, plus the ends are capped off, to keep water from entering the space, and to ensure optimal performance.
Integrated Wave Shield
Most of our competitors have protruding cross members between the tops of the logs and the underside of the plywood decking, which increase drag and noise. There are a few pontoon manufacturers who will lay thin aluminum sheeting over the cross members, but this traps moisture that accelerates the molding process of the plywood. The smooth surface on the bottom of our Patented, All-Aluminum All-Welded Interlocking Deck System that we refer to as our integrated wave shield not only reduces drag, but it eliminates surging.
Aluminum Deck Mounting Surface
Did you know that a vast majority of pontoon manufacturers in the industry use plywood decking? They drill holes through it to run bolts, which does not constitute a stronger foundation, it just puts a bigger hole in a porous substrate. Veranda Luxury Pontoons feels that you deserve the assurance that you are purchasing the best for your investment. The Patented All-Aluminum All-Welded, Interlocking Deck System creates a solid foundation that eliminates flex and noise often seen on the competition’s screw-together decks. It also provides a durable infrastructure ideal for installing railing, seats, and other components.
Wood-Free Seat Bases
Contrary to what other boat manufacturers do, Veranda Luxury Pontoons uses rotational molded wood-free seat bases due to their superior strength and weather resistance. You can rest at ease knowing that all of our furniture is wood-free, so you will never have to worry about replacing the seats due to rotting wood. The seat bases provide increased storage underneath that as any boater can tell you, is always helpful. The top of the seat bases has molded drain channels that extend the life of your pontoons flooring by allowing water to escape.
Thicker Fence Panels
Did you know Veranda has a .040 fence panel thickness versus the industry standard of .032 or even less? We chose to use thick aluminum panels for strength and durability. The panels are inserted into each section of rails, crimped in place, and riveted for added structural soundness to reduce vibrations when running. Available metallic fence panel colors include burgundy, bronze, champagne, black, indigo blue, pearl white, and charcoal. The fence design varies based on the series you purchased, but the same sound construction process is applied to all to ensure a lifetime of enjoyment. The Relax and Fish Series refresh introduced in 2021 brought about a more stylish, sweeping look to the rails, and added the opportunity to further customize your pontoon with the all-new 2-tone fence panels, which placed black panels on the aft fence and the color of your choice running from midship to the forward area of the fencing. The combination of panel color and powder-coated rails gives personality to your Veranda Luxury Pontoons.
Lifetime Transferable Structural Warranty
We believe that our Patented All-Aluminum All-Welded Interlocking Deck System is superior to all other pontoon manufacturers in the industry and offers you a lifetime guarantee on the decking, plus an extensive network of friendly dealers across the nation to provide sales and service when needed.
