Elite Canopies
Custom shapes suit a doorway or porch, with a 6063-T6 aluminium frame in black or grey and clear or tinted panels that keep the entrance bright.
Ideas
Covers for front entrances and doorways
A small roof over the front door is one of the most used structures on a house: somewhere dry to find keys, greet visitors and leave parcels.
What works best
Metal Pergola
A solid metal roof suits an entrance where full shade and a weathertight cover matter more than light.
Things to plan for
- Fixing: an entrance canopy usually attaches to the house wall, so the fixing point and flashings matter.
- Size: small attached covers often fit the awning exemption under Schedule 1 - check the limits for your size.
- Drainage: make sure roof water lands away from the doorstep.
