Premium structures designed for commercial use, offering reliable, year-round shelter from the British weather—rain or shine. Enhance your space and boost revenue with durable, all-season protection.
Small, medium or large bespoke canopy structures, providing high quality aluminium frameworks for fixed, rotating or retractable roof sections and multiple optional side infills, creating the best and most durable outdoor weather protection from sun, wind and rain.
When an awning, pergola or parasol simply isn’t strong enough or large enough then we have always looked to additional support in a fixed framework, to provide the base strength for the creation of bespoke outdoor weather protection systems.
Whether your outdoor covered space is for luxury drinking and dining, or simply to protect a walkway between buildings from rainfall, we have a solution.
Simple, open-sided free standing canopy structures with a fixed roof, or luxury aluminium framework finishes with high quality fabrics, LED lighting and retractable sides to create an outdoor, all year round space, offering full weather protection, we have a product to suit.
HOSPITALITY
For hotels, restaurants, bars, and clubs, we have provided many medium to large structures, and most of these also include side infills for additional protection for customers. LED lighting and heating are also very popular for obvious reasons and nighttime use. The entire structure can be enclosed to form an ‘outdoor room,’ offering a unique and versatile space for guests to enjoy. These enclosed spaces not only enhance comfort and shelter but also allow establishments to maintain an outdoor ambiance while providing a cozy, protected environment suitable for use in various weather conditions.
RETAIL AND SHOW SITES
Rain protection is one of the main reasons for a retail outlet to provide additional outdoor covered space to present products to customers. Additionally sun shade and UV protection is often a factor too, especially in garden centres or nurseries.

SPORTS CLUBS
Sports clubs require covered space for staff, members and other visitors for most of the year round. Rain and sun protection but also because they are usually large venues, wind protection is a factor too, providing protected outdoor viewing areas.
EDUCATION
Governments have increasingly introduced incentives to encourage outdoor activities for children in recent years, with well-documented health benefits linked to natural light and fresh air. Outdoor learning spaces provide crucial benefits, offering UV protection during sunny days and shelter from rain, making them practical and usable almost year-round. These covered areas not only promote physical health but also enhance concentration, reduce stress, and support social development, making them a vital resource in educational settings. Get in touch today to discuss how we can add weather protection to your school, nursery or university.
OFFICES
Since the Covid pandemic we have seen many more offices look for covered outdoor space to allow staff to have breaks and lunch in a better and healthier environment. Covered outdoor space for meetings and other activities are also in demand now.

ENTRANCE CANOPIES
Make a proper entrance and provide protection from rain for those arriving at your building with a high-quality entrance canopy. Not only does it offer a welcoming first impression, but it also ensures comfort and shelter for guests, clients, and employees. An entrance canopy combines functionality and style, enhancing your building’s aesthetic while offering practical protection from the elements.
WALKWAY CANOPIES
Rain protection between buildings or alongside buildings to allow uninterrupted movement whatever the weather. Walkways fixed alongside a building or free standing and creating a connecting rain protected walkway. Our aluminium canopies are made to order in every dimension and shape to suit.
ROOFTOP STRUCTURES
There is a growing demand for rooftop canopies, especially as space in dense urban areas becomes more limited. Rooftops offer an excellent solution for creating protected outdoor spaces, and we have installed numerous canopy systems across London and other major cities. These installations cater to various needs, from hospitality areas for client gatherings and staff events to relaxed meeting zones for office teams.
Wind protection is a key consideration for rooftop settings, alongside sun and rain coverage. Our systems are specifically designed with high wind ratings, ensuring they are fully suitable and secure for rooftop applications, providing a reliable outdoor solution in these elevated, exposed environments.
COMMERCIAL CAR PORTS
We can design and supply almost any size of commercial car port for multiple vehicle protection.
Free standing and with integrated rainwater guttering on the lower side of the sloping roof.
Direct the rainwater away from the area or into a specific drainage or soakaway system already in place.
LED lighting can be built in to light up the car ports at night time and additional back or side infills can be added to further enhance weather protection. We can even add electric or manual operated roller shutter doors to the front if required..
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which is the Best Outdoor Structure for Rain Protection?
The best structure and roof often depends on the size required. Canopy structures using a fixed or retractable fabric canopy cover can be totally waterproof, with control of the rainwater also included within the structure. Natural light can come through the fabric which is often important on larger structures.
Polycarbonate or glass as a roof material is obviously 100% waterproof and also lets natural light through to below, so is great for any aspect of a building and outdoor area.
Louvre bladed pergola systems can be good, but you do have to be careful on the specification for the drainage to ensure it can cope with heavy rainfall, simply because the integrated guttering is internal to the structure so not good when it overflows. A louvered pergola system does not let any natural light through so be aware of this when looking at various structures and their benefits and features…Click Here to View Our Freestanding Structures Page.
What Materials are Canopies and Pergolas made from?
Generally, medium to larger structures built as a canopy, fixed against a wall, or a pergola, free standing structure, are manufactured from aluminium profile sections and then the roof itself is available in various options. Depending on the size there can also be steel profile used for additional stability when a cross beam is extra long for example.
Canopies, Awnings and Pergolas are generally manufactured from aluminium and this provides the best resistance to corrosion over time and also allows for high quality profile finishes to be achieved.
