All frames are pressure treated with preservative ready to be finished in the wood stain or painted finish of your choice. Ideally the canopy should be tiled to match the roofing materials of your home, however they can be finished with tile, lead or roofing felt.

The canopies are very easy to assemble and come with full assembly and fitting instructions. We advise that suitable screws and fixings are chosen with regard to the weight of the roofing finish that you choose.

Shipping weight of a typical canopy is 28kg. To avoid personal injury we strongly advise that these items should be considered a two person lift when taking delivery and installing.
