Roof Pitch and Design Design


When using standard timber, it is much more cost effective to go for a straight forward design, as curving the wood is very time consuming and can cause the wood to splinter or crack if not performed correctly. Specific timbers are easier to bend than others, your supplier should know the best to use.


Glu-laminated timber can be used to easily and quickly create both straight and curved structures, which are very durable. Curved structures are extremely modern and look great in any environment including both rural and urban settings.


Glulam Timber Canopy Designs Our range of timber canopies illustrate the design possibilities Glu-lam timber offers:


The Tarnhow Mono-Pitch which is available as a wall mounted or free standing structure has a traditional, linear design with a slight pitch to allow water to run into the guttering.


The Tarnhow Curved is also available as a wall mounted or free standing structure and has an elegant curve to the roof, giving it a striking appearance.


The Tarnhow Dome has a spectacular domed roof that makes the structure stand out as a feature point to any outside area without looking out of place.
