A timber porch topped with a durable composite slate roof, built to shelter your entrance for years.
An open doorway leaves you exposed to the weather and does little to welcome visitors. This porch solves both problems, giving you solid shelter and a smart, traditional finish. With a certified weatherproof roof and a choice of sizes and colours, it's built to suit your home.
What Keeps This Porch Standing Strong?
Each porch is handmade from Northern European Redwood and pressure treated to guard against rot and fungal attack for up to 15 years. The frame uses 95mm x 95mm posts for genuine strength and stability.
That means a porch that holds up to UK weather without demanding much upkeep from you.
How Durable Is the Composite Slate Roof?
The roof is made from recyclable virgin limestone and polypropylene, and is certified to BBA, UKTA, and ETA standards, with UKCA and CE marking.
This gives you dependable protection against fire, wind, driving rain, snow, and moisture, plus resistance to cracking, breaking, and delamination over time.
What Does the Slate Roof Look Like?
Each tile measures 445mm x 305mm and comes in a pewter grey finish. The textured surface and riven edges give it the look of natural slate.
You get a smart, traditional finish that suits older and newer homes alike, without the maintenance real slate needs.
Which Post and Colour Options Suit Your Home?
Choose 2 or 4 posts, in half-height or full-height, and a frame finish of Rustic Brown or Light Green. Two widths are available too, so you can match the porch to your doorway.
These options let the porch fit your home, rather than the other way round.
