Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are wall fixings included in the kit?
No, wall fixings are not provided. You should purchase fixings that are appropriate for the specific construction material of your exterior wall.
Can I use any type of roof tile?
The canopy frame is designed to support standard residential roof tiles, but you should ensure the weight of your chosen tiles does not exceed the structural capacity of the frame.
Does the timber come pre-treated?
The product arrives as raw timber. It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or stain before or immediately after installation.
Will this fit a double door?
This canopy is designed for standard doorways. We recommend measuring your specific door width and comparing it to the product dimensions before purchasing.
How do I clean the canopy?
Regularly brush off debris and leaves. If the timber gets dirty, use a soft brush and mild soap, then re-seal with an appropriate outdoor wood oil or stain as needed.
Troubleshooting
Canopy appears slightly uneven after installation
Check that the mounting surface is level. If not, use shims behind the timber mounting bracket to ensure the unit sits plumb.
Timber showing signs of moisture damage
The wood must be sealed with an outdoor-grade wood preservative immediately. Ensure the roof tile overlap is sufficient to prevent water from dripping behind the canopy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a successful installation, verify that your wall surface is flat and free of obstructions near the top of the door frame.
- Preparation: Measure the doorway width to ensure the canopy provides the desired coverage.
- Hardware: Purchase wall anchors suitable for your specific wall material (brick, concrete, or stone) as these are not included in the kit.
- Assembly: Use the pre-drilled holes as a guide to connect the timber frame. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent sagging.
- Roofing: Select matching roof tiles to complement your existing home aesthetic.
- Maintenance: Apply an exterior-grade wood stain or sealant immediately after installation. Re-apply treatments every 12 to 24 months to protect against UV damage and rot.
