The presence of a canopy installed over the entrance to the house serves not only a practical purpose, such as shelter from rain and hot sun, but also adds beauty and value to any building. Choosing a porch canopy can be a tricky process if you don't know what to look for. Here are some tips to consider before buying a porch awning:
- Do your research on various awning designs .
What kind of jewelry do you like? For example, it is possible to order a canopy over the porch with inlaid elements of artistic forging. This makes the design aristocratically refined. What color do you like best? It is possible to paint the canopy in any color of the RAL palette. - Which canopy shape do you prefer? We offer the following forms:
- shed roof over the porch; nine0004
- porch double slope;
- arched canopy over the porch;
- semi-arched canopy over the porch.
- Consider which construction style will best suit your home.
- Estimate what size you need a canopy over the porch. How wide is your porch? How far do you want the canopy to protrude?
- Which materials are the best for making a canopy? nine0004
In the last paragraph, it is not the aesthetic components of the door canopy that come to the fore, but the technical ones, such as strength and durability.
Let's talk about the most popular canopies over the porch made of polycarbonate and metal today. Why is it profitable to buy a canopy over a porch made of polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is an extremely resistant and high quality material. Its expected life is typically 10-15 years, with most manufacturers offering warranties of 20 years or more. Here's why:
- High impact resistance makes the material virtually unbreakable.
- Polycarbonate has outstanding optical properties, blocking up to 99% of the sun's UV rays but not blocking natural light, making it an excellent option for protecting people and property. These same properties allow the polycarbonate tarpaulin to withstand sun, snow and rain damage such as warping, fading or yellowing.
- It is highly resistant to extreme heat and cold so it lasts longer than many other typical canopy building materials. It is also fire resistant. nine0004
- Polycarbonate awnings are a building decoration that is ideal for both ultra-modern and conservative architectural styles.
Properties of metal porch awnings
Metal sheds are made of metal tiles and corrugated board. These materials have approximately the same service life and quality, and are inferior to polycarbonate in terms of durability and strength. However, their cost is lower. Canopies over the porch made of metal profiles are aesthetically attractive, opaque, can be painted in dozens of RAL colors. nine0011

types, DIY ideas
How not to make a mistake with the choice, to choose a high-quality canopy that is in harmony with the exterior finish of the building - later in our article. Why do we need a canopy over the porch?
Canopies above the entrance space can take on a variety of forms and be defined by a variety of properties, depending on the selected materials and type of construction. We will talk about this in more detail later. And now we will outline a few points why it is important to get a little shelter above the porch of your private house:
- First of all, this is the possibility of convenient entry and exit from the home. For example, when leaving or entering the house, it takes time to close the umbrella, get or put the keys, close or open the door, and if the weather does not favor the yard, then the canopy will definitely not become superfluous;
- In addition to the fact that you personally and the people entering your monastery will not be subjected to additional wetting, a high-quality visor will protect a wooden or metal door from liquid exposure; nine0011
- And, of course, aesthetics.
A harmonious canopy will complete and emphasize the exterior of your house and yard, especially if you choose a material that resonates with other design details. Types of canopies over the porch
So, you've decided to build a nice canopy, but you're not sure which one yet. Let's look at two groups of possible options and types of construction:
The monolithic construction is one piece with the wall, so this look can be called solid and ready for long service. But at the same time, this feature dictates the disadvantages of such a product. The structure cannot be partially repaired or moved to another location. Such a visor is quite difficult to install, and therefore you will probably have to seek help from specialists. nine0011
Modular products are very popular these days. Their structure consists of several parts that are fastened together. The design is easy to assemble, and also amenable to partial or complete repair, and all these procedures, if desired, you can perform on your own.
Among the advantages, one can point to a wide range of colors of this product - it will allow you to choose the most optimal solution for the exterior of your home. Canopies also differ depending on the method of fastening. Such an important design feature must be taken into account already at the planning stage. nine0011
Mounted versions of are strong and reliable, but only if they were built with supports. The visors are fixed to the wall itself, and the supports in this case will provide stability, extending the service life.
Suspended structures are made from lightweight materials due to the attachment to special suspensions. For example, glass canopies look very attractive, especially in the case of a building in a modern style.
Variety of materials
nine0010 In addition to the type of construction and how it is attached, visors also differ depending on the material from which they are made. In order not to miscalculate the choice and choose an option that will really last a long time, let's look at the most common ones, evaluating their advantages and disadvantages.
Profiled canopies
This is one of the most widely used porch awning materials. It is often preferred due to its low cost, as well as ease of installation and maintenance. Such a product is practical and has a long service life. One caveat - the corrugated board is not durable, and therefore it is worth picking up thick modifications and covering them with a layer of protection. nine0011
Polycarbonate visors
Manufacturers offer a wide range of colors, among which you can find transparent ones, so you will surely be able to choose the most suitable one for your case. A nice feature is that such models are flexible, which will allow them to be given the necessary configuration. A visor made from this material will be strong, durable and fireproof. However, it can become cloudy due to sun exposure, so be sure to apply a sunscreen to protect it. nine0011
Roof tiles
It should be matched to the tone of the roof and installed already at the construction stage of the building.
The design will please with a long operational period, unpretentiousness in care, but it will heat up from the sun and will not provide good sound insulation. Forged canopies
Wrought iron will never go out of style and will always look incredibly attractive. Only the inappropriate style of the structure or the high cost of such a visor can push away from such a choice. You don’t have to worry much about the latter, because you can reduce the cost of construction if you order an option that combines forging and polycarbonate, or the same metal tile. nine0011
Wooden canopies
One of the most favored materials for decorators. And this is really a beautiful and harmonious option for a house with a wooden finish. There is a wide field for experiments here - make a pergola, a carved visor, paint it in any color you like or leave it natural. The main thing is not to forget about special impregnations to protect against exposure to liquids. As for the shape of the structure, give preference to uncomplicated compositions - two- or single-sided.
nine0011 Glass canopies
A canopy made of triplex or tempered glass looks very light and airy and is perfect for buildings in a modern style. Why stop at these types of glass? The fact is that standard varieties will not be able to guarantee high strength and durability. But triplex, which is a pair of glasses interconnected or strong tempered glass, can. The only negative point is the price of high-quality material, as well as the complexity of maintenance and repair. nine0011
Do-it-yourself canopy over the porch
Installing a canopy over the porch is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. In most cases, you will not need special skills and craftsmanship.
First you need to make a detailed diagram of the canopy with dimensions, as well as an estimate with data on the amount of material needed. In the process of creating such a project, consider the technical points:
- The width of the structure is one and a half times the vastness of the doorway; nine0093 - Calculate the length so that it is at least one meter longer than the width of the doorway;
- The corners of the slopes must be at least 20 degrees in order for the product to cope with the load from snowdrifts;
- The distance from the facade of the main building to the outer edges of the canopy must allow the doors to open freely.
First measure the width of the porch, and then add 30 cm to it for each side - this will be the size of the canopy. Determine the distance for the desired shelter, the height is calculated taking into account the layout of the house and the degree of inclination of the slope. This sketch will help you understand how long you need. nine0011
Next, form wood or metal: a beam, slopes, rafters and struts. Slopes and rafters should be the same in length. Connect these elements together with self-tapping screws (in the case of wood) or welding (if you work with metal).
Fix the frame. Fix the beam adjacent to the wall with screws (preferably stainless steel), and the struts with anchors. Lay the crate on the rafters (use bars or edged boards). If you want to work with a metal sheet or slate, then leave 20-40 cm between the laths of the crate. nine0011
Lay the roof on the rafters and then fix it. Fasten the eaves (at the bottom of the slope) and the adjoining plank on the upper slope or wall.
