- Customisation: Tailor your canopy to fit unique spaces and specifications, guaranteeing a fit that's perfect for your garden.
Preparing the Site: Groundworks and Landscaping Considerations
Laying the right foundation is crucial. If your garden isn't level or requires significant preparation, undertaking groundworks is necessary to ensure stability and longevity of your canopy.
- Site Evaluation: Inspect the intended area for any obstacles. Determine if any landscaping adjustments are required to accommodate your canopy.
- Foundations and Supports: Depending on the canopy style, ensure appropriate support systems are in place. Concrete supports are often ideal for stability.
- Site Clearance: Clear the area of debris, plants, and other obstructions before commencing installation.
Product Specifications: Knowing What You Get
