Frequently Asked Questions


Which canopy should I choose?

The canopies that we offer are all distinctive in design and function. Our most popular canopy is the Homestyle Multi Purpose Canopy which attaches to the wall with the front of the canopy supported on aluminium columns. The Contour Curved Roof Canopy is a free standing structure which can be sited anywhere on your property. This canopy has a curved roof and softer lines.


How much is shipping?
All our prices include shipping within the mainland UK. We do also ship overseas - please give us a call to discuss this.



How long can my canopy be?
The canopies sold by The Canopy Shop are of a modular design, this means that you can have a canopy of infinite length (subject only to the amount of space you have). If you are looking for a canopy that is bigger than those listed within this site please contact us to provide us with details of what you are looking for and we can advise you of the size and price of the canopy that you will need.



What does projection mean?
The projection of the canopy is the distance from the wall to the end of the canopy. The Homestyle Multi Purpose Canopy is available in 5 different projections: 1.5m, 2.5m, 3.0m, 3.5m, 4.0m. Remember we can produce a canopy to suit most size requirements so if you do not see the kit you need please contact us and provide us with your exact requirements.



How easy are the canopies to install?
All our canopies have been designed to be installed by anybody with some DIY skills. All canopies come with detailed Assembly Instructions (you can see these on our site by clicking on the Brochures Page or on each individual product item). With all canopies you will need at least two people to install the canopy and with some you may need to install the columns underground so some "setting out" may be required. If you are in any doubt then please either contact a qualified builder or call the Sales Office. Or if you would prefer we can install the canopy for you with our fitting service.



How do the legs attach on the Homestyle Multi Purpose Canopy?
On the Homestyle Multi Purpose Canopy the roof is supported at the wall by the wall plate and the front of the canopy rests on a "goal post" arrangement with columns (legs) and eaves beams. The columns attach directly to the underside of the eaves beam by use of a "U" section. The bottom of the leg can either be attached directly to a concrete base or, if preferred, a long leg can be ordered and this can be "buried" into a concrete pad.



I would like a canopy that is an odd size. Can you help?
As well as supplying a wide range of canopy kits we can also supply you with a canopy manufactured to your particular requirements. Simply give us a call or send us a note using our contact page and we will get in touch with a quotation.



What colour options can I have with my canopy?
The Homestyle Multi Purpose Canopy kits are available in White or Brown frame. The Contour Curved Roof Canopy is available in White only as standard. It is possible to paint the frame of any of the canopy kits a colour of your choice but this will be liable to an extra charge. Please contact the Sales Office for more details. You can have a choice of Opal (translucent), Clear or Bronze tinted polycarbonate.



I would like to clad one side of the canopy is this possible?
It is possible to provide cladding for one or both sides of the canopies. Please contact the Sales Office for more details
