This specific model (PC 1500) is 1500mm wide and has a 1500mm projection.
Is this canopy suitable for all wall types?
It is designed for solid walls like brick, concrete, or stone. It is not suitable for walls that lack sufficient structural integrity.

The product information typically details what fixings are included. It's crucial to use fixings appropriate for your specific wall type, which may require purchasing separately.

What is the main advantage of the cantilever design?
The cantilever design provides a clear, unobstructed space in front of your doorway, offering a modern aesthetic and easier passage without front support legs.
Can this canopy be installed by one person?
While designed for DIY, due to its size and weight, installation by two people is recommended for safety and ease, especially during the mounting phase.
How does it protect against different weather conditions?
It shields your doorway from rain and snow, preventing water from pooling at your entrance, and reduces direct sun exposure, which can help preserve your door and entryway materials.
Troubleshooting
Canopy seems loose after installation.
Re-check all mounting points and ensure fixings are tightened securely. Verify wall structure suitability.
Water is pooling on the canopy.
Ensure the canopy was installed with the correct slope for drainage. Check for any obstructions or damage that might prevent water runoff.
Drilling into the wall is difficult.
Use the appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for brick/concrete). If encountering significant resistance, the wall may be exceptionally hard or contain unexpected materials; consult a professional.
