Elite Canopies
Translucent polycarbonate keeps rain off while letting light through, and open sides keep air moving so washing dries.
Ideas
Covered washing line and drying areas
In a showery climate, washing on the line is a gamble. A roof over the drying area means laundry can stay out when a shower passes through.
What works best
Metal Pergola
A simple steel frame with a solid roof, freestanding near the laundry door or attached to the house.
Things to plan for
- Keep at least two sides open - airflow does more for drying than sun alone.
- Place the cover close to the laundry door so the path stays dry too.
- A small attached cover may fit the Schedule 1 awning limits; we check before work is booked.
