4. Size


Choosing the size of the canopy depends on the size of the area that you wish to cover. Some canopy designs are limited to certain sizes, others are more suited to large spans so researching the possible sizes for each design is important. You will also need to take in to consideration what you plan to use the canopy for, as certain purposes may require a larger canopy.


5. Colours and Finishes The finish you choose for your canopy can affect both its look and its life expectancy. At Able Canopies we offer three finish options for most of our canopies: galvanised, powder coated or galvanised and powder coated.


Galvanising your canopy provides the best corrosion protection and leaves your canopy with a dull silver finish. This finish works well in modern settings as it creates an industrial feel to the canopy.


If this is not ideal for your environment, you may wish to powder coat the framework instead; or alternatively you can galvanise and then powder coat it.


Choosing the colour of the canopy is not the most important factor, yet if a range of colours are offered to you it is a great advantage as you can choose to colour your canopy enabling it to fit in with your current surroundings. Or, if you prefer, you could make a striking feature of your canopy by choosing a contrasting colour to your current aesthetics.


6. Quality


It is important that you choose a canopy company that offers quality and long-life expectancies with all their products to give you value for money and peace of mind. Here at Able Canopies, all our canopies can have a life expectancy of 25 years and we make sure we always use the highest quality materials possible to ensure that your canopy is durable and meets all your shade and shelter needs. Many of our systems come with 10-year guarantees, and all are made with CE marked materials.


7. UV Protection


It is advisable to choose a canopy which offers high UV protection from the sun's harmful UV rays, especially for educational settings. Most of our canopies offer up to 98% UV protection from the sun making it easy to protect those underneath allowing them to play, sit or eat safely in sunny weather.


8. Bespoke canopies


If you are unable the find a design that you require or need a canopy constructed from a specific material, we offer a Design & Build service to allow you to create a canopy tailor made to your requirements. Bespoke canopies can be almost any shape or size, as long as it is structurally viable. Contact us on 0800 389 9072 for more details.
