African Thatch Canopy Kits
A canopy or shelter is a structure that provides protection against the extremes of both cold and hot weather, as well as from wind, rain or snow. Although cape reed thatch has been available for hundreds of years in South Africa, its use in the UK is very new. Our range of thatched canopies are all heavy duty commercial grade products, designed to create a unique solution for the typical UK climate. How many times have you organised a barbeque for friends and family and at the crucial moment, the heavens open and everyone has to rush indoors! Predictions in global weather patterns indicate that the UK will become a more tropical in the long term - this means warmer and wetter weather.
