Product Information
Full details
The Snowdon Timber Apex Porch Canopy is ideal for homeowners looking to enhance their entrance with a classic, welcoming aesthetic while gaining overhead protection from the elements. This 1559mm wide structure is crafted from high-quality, straight-grained pine, providing a sturdy and attractive addition to most standard doorways. However, it is important to note that the product arrives as an unfinished timber frame, meaning you must source your own roof tiles and wall fixings to complete the installation.

FAQs
Are the roof tiles included with the kit?
No, the kit consists of the timber frame only. You must purchase roof tiles separately based on your aesthetic preference.
Can I paint this canopy?
Yes, because it is made of natural pine, it can be painted or stained. We recommend using a breathable exterior-grade paint or wood stain.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a drill, spirit level, measuring tape, ladder, and appropriate wall fixings for your specific house type.
Is the wood pre-treated?
The product arrives as raw, straight-grained pine. It is not pre-treated and requires a preservative or exterior finish to protect it from the elements.
Will this fit a door wider than 1559mm?
No, the canopy is designed for a width of 1559mm. It is not recommended to modify the structure for wider openings as it may compromise the load-bearing capacity.
Troubleshooting
Frame feels unstable during assembly
Ensure all joints are flush and fasteners are tightened firmly; verify that the mounting surface is perfectly level.
Water pooling on the canopy
Ensure the apex pitch is correctly aligned and that your chosen roofing material allows for proper water runoff.
Wood showing signs of discoloration
The timber is untreated and requires a protective stain or paint; sand the area lightly and apply an exterior-grade wood treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting installation, ensure your wall surface is solid and capable of supporting the canopy weight.
- Preparation: Check that your doorway width does not exceed the 1559mm span.
- Assembly: Use the pre-drilled points to join the frame members, ensuring all angles remain square.
- Mounting: Secure the structure to the wall using heavy-duty masonry fixings appropriate for your specific wall type (brick, stone, or timber frame).
- Weatherproofing: Since this product is natural softwood, it is critical to apply a high-quality wood preservative, exterior paint, or stain immediately after assembly to protect against rot and moisture absorption.
- Maintenance: Inspect the joints and wood condition annually. Re-apply exterior finishes every 2-3 years to ensure long-term durability.
