Although product is light to manoeuvre it is a good idea to get a second person to help when measuring up for anchoring to the wall as it is a metre wide and difficult to hold level and stretch to mark up.
I paid someone to install my canopy, and they found it easy to do. It’s larger than expected, but that’s a plus. It works to stop rain coming under the back door during periods of extreme rain.
I put up the centre support and assembled each of the end ones onto the perspex roof and secured them using the supplied screws in the ends, the plan was then to slide eachg side onto the already mounted centre support and secure in the holes I had already drilled, this was when the problem began. I bent the roofing material into the support but everytime I went to move the outer end it would pop back out again and again before I could secure the first bolt, so I took down the centre support assembled the whole canopy on the ground and drilled in 4 stainless steel self tapping screws (see photos) through the centre support to joint the two half together. After doing this the whole canopy was one piece and fairly strong, but a little bendy. I put the whole thing back up using the centre support first then each end in turn it was very easy once the canopy was in one and wasn`t constantly popping apart. Also the additional two screws I think will give added procetion to the joint in even the strongest of winds.
The anchor bolts that come with it are sturdy but I was fixing into a timber structure so opted for coach bolts instead but the supplied fixings look like quality anchor bolts.
As for strength well winter is coming and so will the winds I shall have to see how it fairs, that being said I think it will stand a pounding by strong winds – will let you know next summer.
All in all for the price a sturdy, well made peice of kit.
Used for back door as rain was wetting the back door and it needs to be protected
Not easy to get the top plastic sheet into the profiled sides. Could also do with a mounting sheet template for hole centres. Use the cardboard box for this.
A bit of patience needed to assemble on your own, but when fitted does
a good job of keeping the rain off windows and doors
Its good value for money though using 2 smaller sheets of polycarbonate it was a little more fiddly to assemble than another one I have that used a single bigger sheet.
Very solid and looks great for such a low cost solution.
Product seems good and easy to put together.
Very good value and it arrived exactly on the day it was supposed to.
Very pleased with this canopy, the windows on our summer house are going rotten because of the rain falling from roof directly on to sill, we decided to put up a canopy and it works a treat.
A bit big for a window really I thought and I was a bit worried but pleased with the result.
We ordered two and thought the price was very good for the quality.
They were very well packaged.
Went up quite easily but you do need two people really, very stable.
Instructions are good and pictorial.
Highly recommend
(hope you found my review helpful)
product conforms to the description, quick installation, does its job
It is very sturdy once installed properly on the wall with provided anchors. I used my Bosch GBH 2 26F SDS drill machine and Bosch Expert SDS 10mm bit and it was easy to drill into bricks. I did have a piece of wooden batten length leftover from my Trellis so I marked the holes on wood while the assembled canopy stayed on ground and then drilled through the wooden batten to create a template. Once all the holes lined up on Batten, it was easy to mark up the exact location of 6 holes needed to mount it on the wall.
Used a mallet to drive the anchors in the wall starting from the middle bar of the canopy. I used my Amazon Umi Spanner rachet set to tighten the bolts. After that just put those plastic caps provided to hide the bolts. Job done in an hour not including the hour for assembly. So for two hours of DIY, I have a very stylish and sturdy canopy sheltering my patio doors from rain and snow, what more you want.
I would definitely buy more for my windows in few weeks time.
It’s very good for the price. Sturdy plastic, with aluminium struts. Recommended.
Using it to protect m,y bicycles from rain ( ireland) and it is very solid and resistant.
A little awkward to put together but fine once its assembled.
Every is great, easy to put together & to put up , arrived before the date which was very good all round we are very pleased with i
Seems very strong and looks great when fitted , get a friend to help install though because as warned it is a very awkward job on your own . Overall very happy and would buy again .
Easy to fit with 2 people.
All plastic but quality is good
We ordered this canopy for our back door. It was really worth the money and does the job. Easy to assemble and very sturdy. No regrets and would definitely recommend. Excellent.
Excellent rain cover. Looks great!
Not much in the way of instructions. YouTube videos would help here.
Would recommend using a long strip of wood with pre-drilled, horizontally arranged holes as a template for drilling holes into the wall. Also use a wood template for the vertical holes. You can selotape a spirit level to the long strip of wood. You should then have no problem attaching the assembled canopy up onto the wall.
M10 expansion bolts provided are very good. You hammer them in and finally screw (tighten) to lock them in.
I also bought self-adhesive aluminium tape to cover the open ends of the polycarbonate sheets to prevent water getting in to the channels.
Great product but instructions lacking.
Mould is creaping up between the twin wall polycarbinate…no way of getting it ou
Bought as a replacement for one that was damaged, 6 weeks In and it has broken so have had to take down. No option to replace or refund as out of 1 month
You need two persons to assemble and put up but once in place, it is a very sturdy canopy.
We love this door canopy we had a problem every time it rained before we got the canopy,when we opened the door the rain would drip in but now everything is nice and dry.it’s good quality and was easy to install
The side door where we fitted it is subject to considerable through draught but it survived a very stormy period of weather 2 days after erection. I was really surprised that it survived the storm and was solid throughout. Verey pleased with the outcome.
Very happy with a purchase. Quick shipping. 2 screws were too short for proper instalation but can get those screws in any shop.
The two polycarbonate sheets differ slightly, but over time that won’t be so obvious. What I do like is the lightness of the product combined with obvious sturdiness.
Easy to assemble and fit. Looks nice and keeps driving rain away from the back door. Would buy again.
Plus I got entertainment from reading some of reviews. Not hard to put up if you can use a tape measure, drill and spirit level.
How some so called trades people can struggle, i dont know.

Looks okay you need two people to assemble it and put it up as it keeps coming apa
I’m happy with this purchase, my wife has been onto me about putting one of these up over our front door. This was one of the only ones we found that would actually fit our opening. When it arrived it was easy to assemble and it only took me 30 minutes to fit to the wall. Very happy with the outcome.
It needs 2 people to make installation easy. Certainly help keep the rain off the back door.
This product in my opinion is overpriced for what it is. It could have been a bit sturdier, but its fine for where actually want it for.
Definitely needs 2 people bit hard to bend the perspex roof took a few times comes out one end when youv got other End in. But overall very happy looks nice when up.
Well packaged luckily as packing did get slight damage, the contents were safe and un-damaged.
Follow the instructions and this goes together easily.
However, you do need to make a template (we used some old hardboard) to set out where the fixings need to go into your wall as this will save a lot of measuring and guesswork. It would be an improvement if the supplier could provide a template, perhaps printed on the inside of the box.
Also, I doubt this can fitted solo, as 2 pairs of hands are needed so one can balance it against the wall while another persons fits the screws.
It is strong – you can work on a ladder rested against it without any issues if you take sensible care.
We are very happy now its up and doing a great job.
The canopy is great very disappointed that it didn’t have any instructions at all 4 emails to the seller and amazon I got no reply what so ever not good customer service
eally needs at least two men to do a decent fix but looks good when done
Item came well packaged and in perfect condition. Assembly was simple & fixing onto wall seems solid.
Woke up to a wet garden after a rain shower, to find door & doormat area dry. Just what we needed.
Product came quickly and well packaged. Easy enough to install with two people. Haven’t put it to the test with the elements yet but so far pleased. Going to look at ordering a single to add to i
Fiddly to install on your own but possible. Okay let’s be honest it doesn’t stop a lot of rain but it does provide a little shelter and it looks good as a feature to an otherwise empty space
Once assembled it’s light and easily handled but that’s not a plus if you’re faced with a windy day – definitely better with two people! However, I did get it fixed up, on my own and it looks great. Time will tell how it performs but I’m very pleased with it so far.
Used this item for my back door good value for the money
Perfect for over our patio doors when it’s raining . Easy to assemble but a bit awkward to put up you definitely need help for this . When reading the reviews I saw that someone had recommended to do a template so that’s what we done and found it much easier when measuring up.
Good canopy & easy to install, the only thing that would make this a 5star product is the addition of a rubber seal on the wall side.
also as per previous reviews template would be useful.
Study.
Made of plastic but looks pretty good.
