Materials

Western red cedar. Cedar's natural oils resist rot and insects without chemical treatment, which is why it is favoured for garden structures.

Intended use

Defining a dining or lounge area on a patio, shading a doorway, or supporting wisteria, grapevine, or climbing roses.

Assembly

Substantial build. Plan for two or more people and a full day. Posts must be secured to a suitable footing or anchored to an existing slab.

Care

Leave to weather to silver-grey, or apply an exterior wood finish to retain the warmer tone. Inspect fixings annually.

What's included

All pre-cut timber components and structural fixings.

Not included

Post anchors, concrete, canopy fabric, and lighting are sold separately. Check local requirements before installing a permanent structure.
