The Design Process

Thinking of adding a canopy and/or outdoor kitchen to your garden? You’re in the right place! Whether you’re dreaming of a stylish canopy with adjustable roof blades, a fixed timber or canvas canopy, or a sleek retractable roof to soak up the sunshine – we have you covered. 

Our range of canopies include:

  • Louvered Roof Systems - perfect for flexible shade and ventilation – Renson Algarve, Camargue or Amani.
  • Fixed Roof Canopies – a classic option for solid, dependable cover with aluminium & canvas or wooden roof solutions – Maluwi, Renson Algarve Canvas or Amani Canvas.
  • Retractable Roofs – Great for those who want to enjoy full sun or full shelter on demand – Renson Camargue Skye or Corradi Butterfly.

Not sure which option is right for you? No problem. Our experienced design team can help guide you to the perfect solution for your needs.

If you are looking to take it a step further with an outdoor kitchen, dining set or comfortable lounge area, we’ll help you create a space that’s both beautiful and functional. Every project we design is tailored to suit your individual style, space and lifestyle – with careful attention to design, flow, and durability.

We use only high-quality materials and products we trust in our designs. And if you’re working on a commercial project like a rooftop terrace or hospitality space, we’re qualified and ready to help there too.

The Process...

We offer three design packages to suit different levels of project complexity: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

While the Bronze Package is ideal for straightforward projects and can take you through the complete design process, more intricate or customised concepts may benefit from the additional support and detail offered by our Silver or Gold Packages.

And don’t worry — you can upgrade at any stage of the process if your project evolves or requires a higher level of design input and technical specification. 

The Design Packages

Bronze

Your journey begins with a free 30-minute initial consultation, available either as an online meeting on Teams or in person at one of our showrooms. During this session, we will explore your vision and requirements for your new outdoor space.

We follow this up with a fully itemised, formal quotation and summary of your initial consultation. This includes a configurated drawing that captures your ideas and shows how we can bring them to life.

Once you’ve had a chance to review your quote, we’ll arrange a follow-up call to hear your feedback and discuss the next steps. At this stage, you’ll be ready to move forward with one of our Silver or Gold Packages —taking the next exciting step toward creating your dream outdoor space!

Book your initial Design Consultation

Silver

We're thrilled you're ready to take the next step following your design consultation. To continue designing your perfect outdoor canopy or kitchen, the next stage is to open your client account with a fee of just £350.00 paid by credit card.

Now the next step is to schedule a site survey. During this visit, we’ll take measurements of your space and discuss the finer details, allowing us to gain a complete understanding of your outdoor area.

Back in the office, our design team will prepare visualisations of your new canopy or kitchen. These 3D drawings are much more comprehensive than your initial configurator drawing – drawn precisely to the millimetre, in 3D and including key features close to the area, such as boundaries.

Purchase the Silver Package

Gold

If you are looking to make the most of your space with multiple outdoor features, our canopy and kitchen concept could be the perfect fit.

If you choose this option, we recommend our Gold Package, available for a client account fee of just £500.00, payable by credit card. It includes everything from the Silver Package, plus detailed quotes for both elements of your design, comprehensive 3D renders of both elements, and up to 3 rounds of revisions to fine-tune your design and ensure it aligns perfectly with your vision.

The Gold Package is applicable to both elements of your design. For example, you will receive two designer-inspired moodboards, one for your canopy and one for your kitchen.

This document will outline all the agreed details – including design, dimensions, colours and accessories. You will need to review the details carefully, then sign and return it to us.

Once everything has been checked by our team, we will send your deposit invoice in line with your agreed payment plan. From there, production will begin, and we’ll arrange installation dates with you. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying your brand-new outdoor space!
