African Cape Reed Thatch Roof:
A genuine 3.2m x 5.0m African thatch oval roof constructed from a combination of different types of African cape reed thatch tiles. Each thatch tile has a series of clips bound into the top of the tile. The thatch tiles are simply clipped onto 8mm tubular bars which are integrated on the outside of side the canopy roof frame.

Canopy Roof Frame:
The thatch tiles are supported by a lightweight tubular zinc plated metal roof frame. The roof frame consists of a series of 8mm tubular bars running at 320mm (12.5`) intervals. The bars are positioned so that the tiles have a 100mm (4`) uniform overlap. The tiles are installed in layered courses starting from the bottom. The roof frame is pre coated in a sand colour to blend in perfectly with the thatch tiles. The frame is virtually invisible from underneath and all the thatch tiles are clearly visible from the inside.

Redwood Timber Poles:
The canopy roof frame is supported by eight 2.4m x 125mm (7`10.5" x 5") redwood timber poles. The timber poles are vacuum treated with Tanalith E wood preservative to ensure maximum weather and rot protection. Additionally all timber poles are pre treated with a cuprinol `golden brown` wood treatment preservative. Each timber pole is double machine routed to accept the interlocking redwood timber head rails. See also:

Redwood Timber Head Rails:
The canopy kit is supplied with eight 75mm x 75mm (3` x 3`) redwood timber head rails. This head rail runs around the top of each structure interlocking with each individual pole. The purpose of this head rail is to ensure rigidity of the structure and also to enable the use of the optional canvas side panels. The head rails also allow the attachment of cables, heating and lighting options.

Fixtures & Fittings:
The timber poles are connected to the roof frame via specially engineered 125mm (5`) heavy duty zinc plated metal brackets. The canopy kit is supplied with all the necessary fixing, fastening and detailed user instructions. A telephone hotline, manned by an experienced fitter, is available for those who should require any assistance.

Installation:
Most canopy kits can be fully assembled in a matter of hours using only a cordless screwdriver and a hammer. Ideally the supporting timber poles should be concreted into the ground to securely support the canopy structure. If you intend to add your own infill panels or ballustrade sections then the timber poles can be fixed to an existing concrete base, patio or decking area using our 125mm (5`) pole anchor plates.

The canopy kits are ideal for those wishing to construct a thatched canopy on a decking, paving or concrete base. Alternatively once the canopy kit is installed you can add your own decking, paving or concrete base around the structure.
