Most polycarbonate roof canopies are used to either covering areas in and around gardens and patios or for car ports. The easy addition of covered space providing 365 day a year rain protection is appealing to so many people, domestic and commercial, especially when not much building work is required. Most simple lean to canopy systems only require a wall plate fixing to a suitable structure and then the appropriate number of support posts to hold the roof beams and polycarbonate inserts.

A minimum pitch for the fast dispersal of rainwater is recommended and concrete pads for the support and stability of the front profile support posts. Each aluminium front support post used in our Samson range, will also act as a rainwater drainage downpipe with the rainwater coming directly down the leg from the guttering at the front and exiting wherever required either straight onto the ground or away into a soakaway or existing drainage pipework.
