FAQs
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will need a drill, screwdriver, spirit level, measuring tape, and appropriate fixings for your specific wall type.
Can I paint the canopy?
Yes, the pine softwood is suitable for staining, varnishing, or painting to match your home's exterior.
Why are the roof tiles not included?
Excluding the tiles allows you the flexibility to choose a finish, color, and material that perfectly matches your existing house roof.
How do I attach this to the wall?
Because walls vary (brick vs. wood), you must purchase fixings suited to your wall substrate to ensure a secure, safe installation.
Is the wood treated?
The canopy is supplied as natural pine and should be treated with a high-quality exterior wood preservative before it is exposed to the elements.
What are the exact dimensions?
The canopy measures 1960mm in width, 1305mm in height, and 605mm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Frame components do not feel level during installation.
Ensure the wall bracket points are marked using a spirit level before drilling. If the wall itself is uneven, use shims to ensure the frame sits flush.
Wood showing signs of weathering.
Softwood requires ongoing maintenance. Apply a fresh coat of water-repellent wood preservative or exterior paint every 1-2 years.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools and a secure mounting strategy. Since wall fixings are not provided, you must choose hardware compatible with your specific wall material (brick, stone, or timber frame). Always ensure the mounting surface is level before beginning assembly. Regarding care, the softwood structure should be treated with an appropriate outdoor wood treatment or high-quality exterior paint before or immediately after installation. Periodically check the joints and the security of the wall fixings, especially after extreme weather events, to maintain structural integrity. For the roof section, ensure the chosen tiles are correctly underlaid to prevent water ingress where the canopy meets the wall.
