Space saving canopy

Here was a good mornings work. A client wanted a pair of canopies mounting over a side passage to his house. The system was well made and fairly straightforward to fit

Fitting these canopies makes fantastic use of the otherwise wasted space.

This is another example of how I can help with making the most of your home.

Side passage and lean-to canopies

A side passage is often wasted space: too wet to use for most of the year. A canopy turns it into somewhere dry to keep bikes, bins, logs or garden tools, or simply a covered route from the back door to the street.

I can fit:

  • Canopies over side passages and back doors
  • Polycarbonate roof kits bought by you or sourced by me
  • Simple timber frames where a kit won’t fit the space

I fix them securely to the house wall and make sure rainwater runs away from the house. For a bigger covered space, take a look at the bespoke cycle shelter I built for another client.

Send me a photo of the space and rough measurements to get an estimate.
