We love a project that solves two problems at once. This week, we headed over to Leicester to help Michael, who was looking for a way to protect his car while also creating a functional, weather-proof outdoor workspace.



The result? A stunning Half Curve canopy that looks like it was built with the house.
The Mission: More Than Just a Carport
Michael had a clear vision: he wanted to cover his car comfortably, but he also needed a space where he could open up his garage doors and work on his day-to-day tasks without worrying about the British weather.
By installing this canopy right over the garage entrance, Michael has effectively extended his workshop. Whether it’s a DIY project or car maintenance, he’s now got a sheltered, airy environment to get stuck into.
Style Meets Function
Michael went for our stylish Half Curve design, choosing a sleek finish that perfectly matches his existing garage doors and house trim. It doesn’t just “fit”—it blends in seamlessly with the aesthetic of the property.
The Technical Specs:
- Dimensions: 5.2m (Width) x 4.7m (Length).
- The Look: Modern Half Curve profile.
- Clever Drainage: To keep things tidy, we tapped the downpipes directly into the existing house drainage. This means no extra external pipework cluttering up the driveway and no puddles where you’re trying to work!
The Verdict?
Michael is over the moon with the new setup. He’s now got the best of both worlds: a protected driveway for the car and a high-spec outdoor “bay” for his workshop tasks.
“I can finally open the garage doors and work comfortably regardless of the rain. It looks like it’s always been part of the house!” — Michael, Leicester
