When Dan from Leicestershire reached out to us, he had a clear vision: he needed dedicated, weather-proof coverage to comfortably work on his car and expand his workshop area. However, the project came with a classic structural hurdle—a distinct taper between the house and the garage that left a narrow, non-standard gap to bridge.
Overcoming the Taper
Tricky angles and irregular property lines often deter off-the-shelf installations, but custom engineering is where our team thrives. Rather than forcing a standard shape into a tapered footprint, we tailored the canopy framework to match the exact lines of Dan’s property.
The result was a seamless fit that looks like an intentional, original part of the home. As we always say: if it’s physically possible, we can build it!
Sleek Specifications & Custom Timber Work
Dan opted for a modern, high-spec finish designed to look great and perform reliably year-round:
- RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey Framework: Delivers a modern, crisp architectural profile that pairs exceptionally well with contemporary brickwork.
- Bronze Polycarbonate Glazing: Protects the workspace from overhead debris and rain while cutting down direct sun glare on bright days.
- Rhombus-Spaced Timber Cladding: Originally, a simple fence line marked the boundary. To elevate the overall aesthetic and add functional screening, we replaced the old fencing with stylish, rhombus-spaced timber slats. This adds warmth, privacy, and airflow to Dan’s new outdoor workshop area.
Built for the UK Winter
Though currently gleaming under the sun, this compact custom canopy is engineered to withstand the harshest British winter conditions. From heavy rain to frost and snow, Dan now has a protected, stylish haven to work on his car regardless of the weather outside.
