Why Choose a Garden Canopy?

It is one of the simplest ways to transform your outdoor area into a usable space throughout much of the year.

All of the material used for our canopies is weather resistant meaning it will offer protection, not only from the sun, but from the rain and with the fade resistant materials and high quality powder coating finishes, will also look great for many years to come.

Our canopies offer:

  • All season rain, wind and UV protection
  • Extended outdoor space, ideal for socialising or dining
  • Increased property aesthetics and value
  • Low maintenance, durable designs for modern or traditional properties

They are available in a wide range of custom sizes, shapes and designs to suit your home.

From aluminium veranda style canopies to modern free standing structures, we have solutions for every garden.

How to Choose the Right Garden Canopy

When selecting your canopy, it is important to consider the following:

Size and Coverage - Measure your patio or garden area to ensure the canopy you select provides adequate shelter to the area you wish to cover.

Material – Depending on what type of canopy you choose, you may have a range of materials that you can select.

  • Glass for verandas and free standing structures gives a bright, premium look. It has a long lifespan and excellent light transmission.
  • Polycarbonate is a lightweight, durable, more budget-friendly option, with many of the same qualities of real glass. It creates a bright sheltered area, perfect for cover on those rainy days or with the addition of blinds, to protect from the UV rays of the sun.
  • Fabric covers offer flexible, adjustable shade. All our fabric garden canopies are made using weather resistant materials which ensure they are durable, offer protection from UV rays and rain along with being fade resistant.

Purpose - The intended use of the covering is important as this plays a big part in helping you choose what type is best suited to your requirements. Maybe you want a relaxing outdoor area, a covered dining space, or are you looking for all-year protection? If you are unsure of what you need, then please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.


Garden Canopy FAQs

Do I need planning permission?

Most garden canopies fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission is not usually required. However, larger or enclosed structures may need approval. We’re happy to advise before installation, or you can check with your local council for confirmation.

Are the canopies suitable for UK weather?

Yes. Our garden canopies are engineered for UK conditions, offering protection from rain, wind and UV exposure. They are manufactured using durable, weather-resistant materials designed for long-term outdoor use. Please check individual products for any specific performance ratings where required.

Can I customise the design?

Absolutely. You can customise your garden canopy with a choice of frame colours, roof materials, sizes and optional extras such as side screens, heating and lighting to suit your outdoor space.
