Canopy is a grand design
THERE are doors – and there’s an entrance. Make yours a grand one with a canopy that says pure style while not costing the earth. This innovative canopy isn’t purely decorative though as it is designed to keep out both the rain and (particularly important with this summer shaping up to be one of the warmest on record) the sun.
This simple-to-fit addition to your home has all the look of Victorian fluted glass and wrought ironwork, a simple yet elegant design that will look as if it is a timeless fixture.
Yet it is part of a new wave of household designs that utilise state-of-the-art materials to produce something that is sturdy, long-lasting, smart and yet at a reasonable cost.
Strong fibreglass brackets support a transparent canopy that is made of polycarbonate and which, thanks to modern technology, cuts out 99 per cent of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
The result is something that is lightweight, so making it easy and safe to fit, with little more than a few holes needing to be drilled – no need to get a workman in, it will only take you a few minutes even if you don’t regard yourself as a handyman.
The pack includes all the fittings you will need, as well as simple to follow instructions.
The gently curving 4ft canopy makes just as much of a statement over a back door as the front and you can link two together for wider doorways and even use a string of three, four or more to create a porch-like shelter along the side of the house.
The brackets come in black or white so you can choose whichever you fancy – one of them will be sure to work perfectly whatever colour scheme you have.
AND the classic design means that it will also fit in whether you have a property from past generations or something that has only recently been built.
The canopy not only protects you (not to mention your visitors and the postman) from the elements, it also protects your pocket.
It is now available for an astonishing £39.95, a £60 saving on the regular price.
It is a small price for something that will change the look of your home, making a chat on the doorstep something to savour whatever the weather.
