Ash wood door canopy kit - 150x80 cm
This canopy kit is made from raw solid ash, a fine-grained species with pronounced grain, valued for its decorative appearance and good structural strength. Ash is used here in a sheltered semi-outdoor situation: under a tile covering that protects it from direct rain, it offers satisfactory durability provided it is treated before installation and protected from prolonged moisture exposure.
The dimensions are fixed: 150 cm in length and 80 cm in depth. The wall bracket depth is 34 cm. The kit includes the assembly screws. The covering (tiles) and wall fixings are to be sourced separately - they are essential to ensure the durability of ash outdoors.

Installation advice
Before installation, apply a microporous wood stain or exterior wood paint to all faces of the kit - ash included. This is a non-negotiable step for this model: ash is not a naturally moisture-resistant species for outdoor use. The tile covering, fitted last, then protects the upper faces of the structure from direct rain.
Fix the brackets to a load-bearing wall using fixings suited to the substrate (not supplied). Always pre-drill the ash - it is a dense wood that can split if screwed without pre-drilling. Estimated assembly time: 3 to 4 hours with two people.
Maintenance and protection
Ash in a sheltered situation (under tiles) requires treatment before installation and renewal every 2 to 3 years on accessible faces - particularly the undersides of rafters and brackets. Avoid water-based products for the first application on raw ash - opt for a solvent-based stain or penetrating oil for better adhesion on this dense wood.
Frequently asked questions
Is ash suitable for outdoor use?
Ash is not a naturally moisture-resistant species for outdoor use. In this kit, it is designed for use in a sheltered semi-outdoor situation: under a tile covering that protects it from direct rain. This covering is essential - without it, ash deteriorates quickly under direct exposure. With appropriate treatment and tile covering, it offers satisfactory durability and a decorative appearance distinct from softwood species.
Why choose an ash canopy rather than fir or douglas?
Ash is distinguished by its pronounced grain and fine texture, which give it a more refined decorative appearance than softwoods (fir, douglas). It is an aesthetic choice for entrances where the look of the wood is showcased - under a clear wood stain or an oil, the ash grain creates a more striking visual effect. Structurally, its outdoor performance remains inferior to douglas without treatment.
Can coverings other than tiles be used with this kit?
Yes. Fibre cement slates, zinc or polycarbonate are also structurally compatible. The requirement remains the same: a covering is essential to protect the ash from direct rain. Without a covering, this model is not suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Can ash be painted or stained in any colour?
Yes. The wood is supplied raw. All finishes are possible. For a clear wood stain that enhances the ash grain, choose a solvent-based product for better penetration on this dense wood. For an opaque paint, use a bonding primer suitable for dense woods.
What is the lifespan of this ash model?
Under a tile covering, with a wood stain applied before fitting and renewed every 2 to 3 years, the lifespan depends on the quality of the treatment applied, the regularity of maintenance and the exposure of the facade.
Are the wall fixings included?
No. The kit assembly screws are included. Wall fixings are to be sourced separately depending on your facade material. For concrete or solid blockwork, 8 to 10 mm expansion anchors are suitable. For hollow brick, chemical anchors are recommended.
