Designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners alike, it offers a sturdy pine softwood frame that provides a classic, welcoming look to any doorway.

FAQs
Does the canopy come with roofing tiles?
No, the Snowdon Timber Flat Roof Porch Canopy is supplied as a timber frame only. You will need to purchase your own roof tiles or shingles.
Can I paint the pine frame?
Yes, the pine is unfinished, making it ideal for painting, staining, or varnishing to match your home's aesthetic.
Are wall fixings included?
No, wall fixings are not included. You should choose fixings based on the specific masonry or construction of your home's wall.
Is the wood pressure-treated?
The wood is supplied as natural pine softwood. We recommend applying an exterior wood preservative or primer before mounting the unit outside.
How wide is the canopy?
The canopy is 1736mm in width, providing ample cover for standard single-door entrances.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, spirit level, tape measure, exterior wood screws, wall anchors, and ladder safety equipment.
Troubleshooting
The canopy frame feels wobbly after assembly.
Check that all fasteners are tightened and the wall-mounting bolts are secured into solid material rather than loose mortar.
Water is leaking between the canopy and the wall.
Apply a high-quality silicone-based exterior sealant or a lead-style flashing strip to the junction where the canopy meets the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this canopy, ensure you have a spirit level, heavy-duty wall anchors, and appropriate wood screws.
- Preparation: Seal or treat the pine wood with an exterior-grade wood preservative before assembly to ensure longevity.
- Wall Mounting: Use the pre-drilled holes as a guide to mark your wall position. Ensure the canopy is level before securing it to the wall structure.
- Roofing: Install a waterproof membrane (felt) over the frame before layering your chosen tiles or shingles to ensure a watertight seal.
- Maintenance: Inspect the timber annually for signs of peeling finish or wood rot. Re-apply a protective clear coat or paint every 2-3 years to protect the pine from UV rays and moisture.
