Vounot Front Door Canopy

A good easy to install, fiddly to assemble, canopy great when fitted

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 phot

Patio Door canopy that is very good quality and reasonably priced.

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.

Easy assembly & perfect seal

Compared to a similar canopy with two-piece panels, this one is very easy to assemble and provides a tight seal around all edges. No silicone is needed to fill gaps, unlike my other roof. I only needed help with the first panel and was able to install the remaining two on my own.

Good looking, well made and easy to fit canopy

Well made door canopy. Easy to fit. I did it by myself and it took about an hour for assembly and installation. Some people have complained about the bolts but I had no problem with them. They tightened up fine and the canopy is very secure. I am very pleased with it.

Decent canopy, buy better bolts

Decent canopy for the price. Could be assembled and fitted by one person if needed, however, using the bolts supplied is a fast track to frustration. I'm experienced in DIY but don't consider the fixing bolts to be fit for purpose. Do yourself a favour and buy decent shield anchor bolts and you'll be fine. Fitted two canopies to provide a bike shelter down the side of the house.
