Door Canopy 120 x 80 cm

This canopy is good value despite being all plastic construction the support frame is very rigid and light. Assembly is easy but here is the only problem I found especially if you don`t have an assistant to help you. I put up the centre support and assembled each of the end ones onto the perspex roof and secured them using the supplied screws in the ends, the plan was then to slide eachg side onto the already mounted centre support and secure in the holes I had already drilled, this was when the problem began. I bent the roofing material into the support but everytime I went to move the outer end it would pop back out again and again before I could secure the first bolt, so I took down the centre support assembled the whole canopy on the ground and drilled in 4 stainless steel self tapping screws (see photos) through the centre support to joint the two half together. After doing this the whole canopy was one piece and fairly strong, but a little bendy. I put the whole thing back up using the centre support first then each end in turn it was very easy once the canopy was in one and wasn`t constantly popping apart. Also the additional two screws I think will give added procetion to the joint in even the strongest of winds. The anchor bolts that come with it are sturdy but I was fixing into a timber structure so opted for coach bolts instead but the supplied fixings look like quality anchor bolts. As for strength well winter is coming and so will the winds I shall have to see how it fairs, that being said I think it will stand a pounding by strong winds - will let you know next summer. All in all for the price a sturdy, well made peice of kit. It is December now and we have had some 70mph plus gale force winds and the canopy has with stood them no problem at all.

I am very impressed with this door canopy as it covers my patio doors and it was relatively easy to assemble too. I paid just under £60 and I believe it is very good value for money. It is very sturdy once installed properly on the wall with provided anchors. I used my Bosch GBH 2 26F SDS drill machine and Bosch Expert SDS 10mm bit and it was easy to drill into bricks. I did have a piece of wooden batten length leftover from my Trellis so I marked the holes on wood while the assembled canopy stayed on ground and then drilled through the wooden batten to create a template. Once all the holes lined up on Batten, it was easy to mark up the exact location of 6 holes needed to mount it on the wall. Used a mallet to drive the anchors in the wall starting from the middle bar of the canopy. I used my Amazon Umi Spanner rachet set to tighten the bolts. After that just put those plastic caps provided to hide the bolts. Job done in an hour not including the hour for assembly. So for two hours of DIY, I have a very stylish and sturdy canopy sheltering my patio doors from rain and snow, what more you want. I would definitely buy more for my windows in few weeks time.

Decent canopy for the price. Could be assembled and fitted by one person if needed, however, using the bolts supplied is a fast track to frustration. I'm experienced in DIY but don't consider the fixing bolts to be fit for purpose. Do yourself a favour and buy decent shield anchor bolts and you'll be fine. Fitted two canopies to provide a bike shelter down the side of the house.

Needed a cover down the side of the house this was the perfect width and height. Fitting it together is pretty straightforward but weirdly there are no fitting instructions, only assembly instructions. Took me approx 2hrs in total and I am not a prolific DIYer by any means. You need: a half-decent drill, 6mm bit (ideally), 10mm bit, spirit level, marker pen, hammer, ratchet spanner But here are some tips: 1. Spray the light grey brackets an anthracite colour. Then obviously let it dry before assembling. Personally I think they look much better than light grey (black may be fine but possibly too dark). 2. Assemble the whole thing first before even thinking of fitting the brackets on to the wall. 3. It definitely helps having an extra pair of hands to hold the last bracket as you fit the curved roof section onto it as you’ll need two hands to bend the roof. 3. Fitted on a brick wall I used the mortar lines to see if it looked horizontal 4. With another person holding it mark all the lower holes with a marker pen 5. I found the width of the instructions the exact vertical distance to the upper hole so marked them using a spirit level 6. Use fellow buyer Martypants’ advice of WD40 on the screws to prevent any chance kf them threading or getting stuck 7. Screw the end fitting to the bolt - if you don’t thee is a chance you will lose it in the wall 8. Hammer a nail in the wall first to make an accurate drilling mark 9. Use a 6mm masonry bit to drill the hole depths (the lower holes are shorter than the upper holes) 10. Then use a 10mm bit to drill out. Try not to go over 10mm (see below) 11. Place all the bolts through the bracket holes and position them in (another person helps here) 12. Push the bolts in and then gently tap them in 13. Screw all the bolts in with a ratchet spanner - the middle one is a pain as you don’t have a huge angle to work with but persevere! The end fitting slowly moves up through the bolt casing inside the wall pushing it outwards thereby ensuring a good firm grip so try not to drill any more than 10mm wide! 14. When sprayed anthracite I didn’t put the plastic bolt covers on as the bronze bolt covers looked auite good against the dark grey. 15. For a complete finish add a non-removable wall anchor if securing bikes and solar-powered security lights

Very nice canopy. Great price, I would highly recomend.

Inmiddels hangt het boven mijn voordeur voor enkele jaren en nog steeds prima. Goed product

The canopy is made from a durable plastic, hopefully it will last in the middle eastern sun long. The depth of the canopy is only 80cm which is not enough if your door is higher than 2m, could be at least 1m or even 1.2m. positives: easy to install, good instruction, looks good and feels durable

Habe heute die 2m Variante verbaut. Also 3 Träger müssen verschraubt werden. Habe mit dem mittleren angefangen. Die mitgelieferten Schrauben sind völlig ok. 10mm Löcher müssen gebohrt werden. Bei uns in den Klinker. Dieser ist immer etwas uneben. Aber man kann das ganze am Schluss mit dünnen Blechstreifen etwas ausrichten bzw. korrigieren. Dazu am besten die untere Schraube noch nicht fest ziehen! Dann habe ich das obere Profil als Abstandshalter genutzt, um die Löcher des 2. Trägers anzuzeichnen. Dazu kann man auch gut eine Wasserwaage oben auf das Profil legen, um die passende Höhe zu haben. 2. Träger Löcher gebohrt. Profile auf die 1. Platte geschoben. Dann habe ich an dem montierten Träger erst das untere Profil mit der Platte angesetzt und leicht eingeschoben. Danach langsam nach oben unter Biegung der Platte vorgearbeitet bis die Platte komplett drin saß. Dann habe ich die seitlichen Schrauben schonmal etwas in die Profile geschraubt, so das diese nicht mehr rausrutschen konnten. Danach den 2. Träger aufgeschoben und diesen verschraubt. Das gleiche Spiel dann mit dem 3. Träger und der 2. Platte. Unser Klinker war natürlich nicht ganz eben. Von Vorne per Auge geschaut, rechte Seite musste etwas höher. Verschieden starke Blechstreifen oberhalb der unteren Schraube des Trägers untergeschoben bis es von vorn gerade aussah. Fertig. Montage hat allein ca. 1,5 Std gedauert. War insgesamt kein Problem. Es gibt sicher schönere und stabilere Vordächer, aber für das Geld ist das Teil mehr als ok. Die Träger sind übrigens aus Kunststoff, die machen einen richtig stabilen eindruck und sind sehr formstabil. Uns gefällts.
