Guest Wolfie Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm trying to find a company that manufacture canopies for outdoor areas that can be attached to exisiting walls - can anyone recommend one?
AnonyMouse_8623 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 We're fundraising for one too Wolfie but haven't found one yet. Will be interested in replies.
Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 We have had quotes from a company called Able and another called Sovereign. Not sure of addresses.
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 we are about to put this idea forward as well - sure church will say no - but worth a try !!!!
Guest Wolfie Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks for that gozolady, I'll see if they've got a website. You're not FROM Gozo, are you? That's where we went on holiday this year!
Guest Rouse1 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I'm trying to find a company that manufacture canopies for outdoor areas that can be attached to exisiting walls - can anyone recommend one? hiya we're just having some estimates for canopies, if its fixed it would require planning permission. we got a quote from Pocco they were reasonable. we are probably going to use a local company called newby lesiure. good luck
Guest Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 We had quite a few quotes this time last year. Only 2 I remember where Pocca and Timberline. Pocca was really expensive (£7000) and all plastic. Timberline one was £3500, with wooden posts and a choice of colours. We got the Timberline one and it is gorgeous! Neither of these fix on to the wall- we are in a listed building so weren't allowed to have one attached. As our one from Timberland is bolted into the ground we don't have to have planning permission as it is technically not a fixed structure!!
AnonyMouse_10713 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 We have finally got planning permission for ours. Been waiting since June to hear!! Can't remember the company, it is being fitted on 30 Sept, will let you know by who and post pics too!!
AnonyMouse_705 Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Wish I could remember the name but when I was researching this, I found a company who supplied canopies that could be fixed in two troughs or planters - found them just by putting 'freestanding sun canopy' in Google. Committee went with a wooden gazebo in the end with what looks like corrugated plastic which has UV protection, it does work well.
Guest Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hi, we too are currently searching for a canopy i found by searching on Yahoo or Google lots of companies including the already mentioned Able are happy to come and give free quotes! Good luck with your serach.
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 We have two similar to this installed courtesy of Sure Start so not sure on the supplier
AnonyMouse_8623 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 They look like what we are after, although we would want detatchable sides for changes in seasons. Thanks Marion.
Helen Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 A company named Inside2Outside also produce canopies that may be of interest, and they have provided a short article giving advice on what to consider when purchasing a canopy. Questions_to_ask_before_buying_a_canopy.doc
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Depends on location. I have used a builder to do ours.......with decking. He also does the two local school. He is based in Surrey but would travel a distance, but depends where.
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) I have just had a Coolaroo shade sail put up in my garden. http://www.coolaroo.com/products/coolaroo/...ductRangeRef=10 I bought it from ebay and we drilled the wall of the house and two sturdy fence posts to fit it. It was great last week for providing shade. It unhooks easily and folds up really small. I have a 5 metre triangle but you can get larger ones. Edited June 8, 2009 by AlisonP
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 we are about to put this idea forward as well - sure church will say no - but worth a try !!!! Get ofsted to make having one a key issue - it's worked for two of our schools!! Cx
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Get ofsted to make having one a key issue - it's worked for two of our schools!! Unfortunately parish councils and churches don't recognise Ofsted catma! Maz
