Safety Advice

This product must be installed by a qualified professional with experience in structural timber assembly and wall anchoring.
Do not attempt installation if you are unsure about your ability to safely handle heavy timber components or operate necessary tools.
All fixings supplied must be used exactly as instructed to ensure the structural integrity of the canopy.
Never install the porch kit on unstable, crumbling, or unsuitable wall surfaces; solid brick or masonry walls are required for safe anchoring.
Ensure the porch canopy is installed with the correct minimum clearance height to prevent risk of head injury; the minimum safe clearance must be clearly observed at all times.
Before installation, inspect all timber components for damage, cracks, or excessive warping; do not install damaged parts.
Wear appropriate PPE during assembly, including gloves, eye protection, and steel-toe footwear.
Take extreme care when lifting heavy oak components. Always use safe manual handling techniques and seek assistance where necessary.
During assembly, ensure no persons stand beneath suspended or unsecured components.
Use caution on ladders and work platforms during installation; ladders must be placed on stable, level ground and comply with current safety standards.
Do not modify any components, fixings, or pre-drilled holes, as this may compromise structural integrity and void the warranty.
Ensure all joints are securely fitted and fixings are fully tightened during assembly to prevent component failure.
Do not install during high winds, heavy rain, or icy conditions, as these increase the risk of accidents.
After installation, inspect the canopy to ensure it is fully stable and rigid with no movement or gaps at wall joints.
Conduct regular inspections (at least twice yearly) to check for timber deterioration, loose fixings, insect activity, or nesting debris.
Remove any signs of bird or insect nesting promptly using non-invasive deterrents to prevent falling debris or timber degradation.
Apply a suitable exterior wood treatment or oil periodically to preserve timber and protect against moisture ingress.
Ensure the surface directly beneath the canopy is slip-resistant, especially in areas prone to wet weather; apply anti-slip treatment if required.
This product is intended for domestic use only and must not be used as a climbing frame, load-bearing structure, or support for external items such as hanging baskets or lights unless specifically designed for that purpose.
Children must not play near or climb on the canopy at any time.
This product is not suitable for installation in high-exposure coastal environments without appropriate treatment and fixings designed for such conditions.
Dispose of packaging responsibly and recycle timber waste where facilities exist.
This product must not be burned in open air; treated timber may release harmful fumes when incinerated.
Keep all installation tools and components out of reach of children during assembly.
If this product is damaged after installation, it must be fully removed and assessed by a competent professional before any reuse.
Product intended for outdoor, above-head installation only—any alternative use is strictly prohibited and dangerous.
For traceability, retain your proof of purchase and note the product name, batch number (if applicable), and date of installation.

1. Step 1 - Measure the Bracket Positions

Measure and mark the gallows bracket positions on the wall to a maximum internal span of 1250mm or 1400mm.

2. Step 2 - Measure the Back Plate

Measure and mark the back plate at the preferred location above the door.

3. Step 3 - Insert the Dowels

Insert the 6mm countersunk screw (Part 2) dowels supplied into the pre-machined draw-bored tenons.

4. Step 4 - Secure the Brackets

Place and secure the assembled Gallows Brackets to either side of the door to the marked positions on the wall.

Fix using 2 x 16mm steel bolts (Part 1).

5. Step 5 - Assemble the Components

First insert the 10mm dowels (Part R), into the pre-drilled holes.

Then assemble the components as shown in the illustration. Secure them firmly using the provided screws.

Note: Use the screws (Part 3), exclusively to fasten panels J and K, and use the other screws (Part 4), for all other parts.

6. Step 6 - Fastening the Backboard

Press the eaves backboard firmly against the wall, then use the woodworking screws (Part 5), to secure the L Brackets Part Q, fastening the backboard to the support frame.

7. Step 7 - Assemble the Front Panel

Assemble the porch eaves front panel as illustrated.

Insert the 10mm dowels (Part R) into the pre-drilled holes.

Join the components together and secure them firmly using the insert screws.

Note: Use the screw (Part 3) exclusively to fasten panels D and E; use the longest screws (Part 4) for all other parts.

8. Step 8 - Position the Eaves Front Board

First, use the woodworking screw (Part 5) to install side cover (Part N) onto the eaves back board (the positioning design ensures correct placement of cover N).
Next, position the eaves front board onto the support.
Secure the cover (Part N) to the eaves front board.
Use the L bracket (Part Q) to fasten the eaves front board to the support.
Assemble the side cover (Part N) on the other side following the same procedure.

9. Step 9 - Fix the Roof Panels

Finally, as shown in the figure, fix the roof panels (Parts N, O and P) to the eaves front board and back board using woodworking screw (Part 5) to form a single integrated unit.

Please note: It is the installer’s responsibility to verify suitability for the intended mounting surface and load. The manufacturer accepts no liability for failure resulting from inappropriate fixings.
