Need Shelter In The Garden, Not Just Next To The House?

Not every outdoor space sits neatly against a wall, and that is exactly why freestanding systems matter.

The Simplicity 16 Freestanding System gives you the flexibility to create shelter where you will actually use it — over a garden seating area, an outdoor dining zone, or a standalone feature space away from the house.

Instead of designing around the building, you can design around the way you want to live outdoors.

Freedom To Place It Where It Works Best

Many canopy systems are limited by the position of the home itself. That often means compromising on layout, sun position, privacy, or how the space feels in practice.

Because this system is freestanding, you are not tied to those limitations. You can position it where it best suits the flow of the garden and the way the space is actually used.

Why Polycarbonate Works So Well In Sunny Positions

The 16mm polycarbonate roof offers a more practical overhead covering for exposed areas where heat and glare can become a problem.

Compared with glass, polycarbonate helps soften the harshness of direct sunlight, making the area beneath more comfortable during brighter parts of the day.

That matters more than you might expect when you want the space to feel pleasant for longer periods, not just briefly usable.

Choose The Right Roof Finish For Your Space

The Simplicity 16 is available in three roof finishes, allowing you to tailor the feel of the canopy to the setting.

  • Clear for maximum light
  • Bronze for reduced glare and a warmer tone
  • Opal for softer, more diffused light

This gives you more control over how bright, shaded, or balanced the space feels once installed.

Ideal For Creating Defined Outdoor Zones

This system is especially effective when used to create a dedicated area within the garden.

  • A covered dining space away from the house
  • A sheltered seating area in a better sun position
  • A practical canopy for a hot tub or outdoor feature
  • A standalone structure that gives the garden more purpose and shape

It helps transform open space into somewhere more usable, comfortable, and intentional.

When To Choose This Over A Wall-Mounted System

If the best place for shelter is not attached to the building, a freestanding structure is the right answer.

The Simplicity 16 is ideal when flexibility matters more than a direct link to the house, or when you want to create a separate outdoor destination rather than simply cover the patio.

Create Shelter Where Your Garden Needs It Most

Once installed, the Simplicity 16 Freestanding System gives you a more useful, comfortable outdoor area without forcing you to work around the limitations of the building.

It is a practical, low-maintenance way to add shade, structure, and flexibility to the garden — exactly where it makes the biggest difference.
