Those steep Crystal Palace gardens deserve shelter that works with the slope, not against it. Custom-built canopies bring year-round comfort to even the trickiest terraced plots.

Victorian houses around the Triangle often feature narrow but deep gardens that cry out for clever coverage solutions. A well-designed canopy transforms that unused patch by the back door into a proper outdoor room. The right structure makes all the difference when you're working with the typical 20-foot width found in Upper Norwood's residential streets.
Modern aluminium frameworks handle the area's notorious hillside winds without the bulk of traditional pergolas. Polycarbonate roofing filters harsh summer sun while keeping March drizzle at bay. Drainage channels integrate seamlessly, preventing that annoying drip-line that ruins so many DIY attempts. Side panels can be added later if your neighbours' windows feel a bit too close.
Twenty years fitting canopies on slopes from Anerley Hill to Church Road gives unique insight into what actually works here. Every installation accounts for the specific challenges these Victorian plots present.

Absolutely - from the Westow Hill shops down through SE19's residential roads to SE20's leafier stretches near Penge, including all those tricky sloped gardens off Anerley Road.
Generally 3-4 weeks from deposit to completion, though simpler designs on level ground sometimes wrap up within a fortnight during quieter periods.
Each structure carries decade-long coverage against manufacturing defects, with the framework guaranteed to handle whatever weather rolls over from the Sydenham Ridge for at least ten years.
Yellow London stock presents no issues - special fixings ensure secure attachment without damaging the brickwork, and flashing details prevent any water ingress around the connection points.
