If you’re looking to protect your outdoor furniture from the unpredictable British weather, you’re in the right place. We’ll explore why investing in canopies is not just a smart decision, but a necessary one for keeping your outdoor spaces looking fresh and functional for years to come. Leekes provides a range of products that have been developed with the benefit of decades of experience and are designed to deliver first rate functionality.
Outdoor furniture can improve your garden, patio, or deck, creating a space to relax and entertain. However, exposure to harsh weather can take a toll on even the sturdiest pieces of furniture. Sunlight can cause fading and cracking, while rain and humidity can lead to mold and rust. High winds can uproot furniture or cause unwanted movement, damaging both the furniture and your outdoor setting.
Replacing damaged outdoor furniture can be costly, not to mention inconvenient. By investing in a canopy, you can significantly reduce these risks, protecting your investments and ensuring your outdoor furniture lasts longer without the need to rebuy year on year.
A Leekes installed canopy offers many benefits:
First and foremost, canopies look fantastic. They come in a variety of styles and designs to complement your home and outdoor space. Whether you prefer the modern look with sleek lines of a Simplicity 16 model, or a more traditional veranda feel, we have options that can seamlessly integrate with your landscaping, enhancing the overall beauty of your property.
With a canopy in place, you are able to enjoy your garden all year around. Enjoy family gatherings, barbecues, or quiet evenings outdoors without worrying about sudden rain showers or intense sun. Our canopies create comfortable and inviting spaces for every occasion.
Our canopies provide strong protection against rain and snow, reducing the chances of moisture-related issues like mold and rust. This makes them a perfect shelter solution, for furniture, equipment and well used outdoor areas. They also shield against harmful UV rays, preventing sun damage to your outdoor furniture.
Canopies are especially useful, during times when it’s wet and muddy. Their versatility allows you to create an area that is great to take muddy boots or shoes off before entering the property. This keeps the floor clean, and the boots dry while outside.
At Leekes, we are always working with new products and systems, offering a range of canopy solutions to fit your needs:
