Wooden canopy with tiles for garage door - Fir kit UGLAS

The UGLAS canopy is a raw fir timber kit designed to cover a garage door 300 cm wide. Its traditional frame structure — two curved brackets, two purlins and seven rafters — is compatible with a mechanical tile, slate or steel sheet roof. It is fixed directly to the wall, with no ground posts.

Choose the depth according to the bracket size: 80 cm with 45x45 cm brackets, 100 cm with 60x60 cm brackets, or 120 cm with 80x80 cm brackets. The kit comes unassembled in untreated wood, to be painted or stained before installation. Roofing materials and wall-fixing plugs must be purchased separately.

Installation advice

Start by marking the bracket fixing points on the façade, directly above each side of the garage door. Locate areas of solid masonry – garage door lintels are usually reinforced concrete, providing a strong fixing point. Use heavy-duty expansion anchors (a diameter of 12 to 14 mm is recommended, depending on the weight of the roof tiles) suited to the substrate.

Then fix the two purlins horizontally onto the brackets, then the seven rafters perpendicularly, evenly spaced. Always pre-drill before screwing. The roofing is fitted last: allow for a neutral silicone sealant between the top purlin and the wall to prevent water ingress at the rear of the frame.

For a mechanical tile roof, check that the slope of the brackets matches the minimum pitch required by the tile manufacturer (generally 30 degrees minimum).

Maintenance and protection

Raw fir used outdoors must be treated before installation. Apply a microporous wood stain or an exterior wood saturator in at least two coats, after light sanding with 120-grit paper. Renew the protection every 2 to 3 years. The tile roof protects the top of the frame from direct rain — pay particular attention to the undersides of the rafters and the brackets, which are more exposed to condensation.

Frequently asked questions

Can tiles be laid on this wooden canopy?

Yes, that is this model’s main intended use. The solid fir-wood frame (145x45 mm purlins, 45x30 mm rafters) can support standard interlocking roof tiles, although no maximum load test has been carried out. Check that the slope of your chosen brackets meets the minimum pitch required for your type of tile – generally 30 degrees for common interlocking roof tiles. Tiles are not included in the kit.

Is this canopy suitable for a garage door?

Yes. The fixed 300 cm width covers garage doors up to 250 cm wide, with an overhang for protection at the sides. For wider double garage doors (300 cm or more), see our bespoke model. Fix the canopy to the concrete lintel or masonry above the door.

What depth should I choose for my garage canopy?

A depth of 100 cm (60x60 brackets) provides standard rain protection. If your garage door is recessed 40 cm or more into the façade, or if you also wish to protect the bottom of the door when opening, opt for 120 cm (80x80 brackets). The 80 cm depth is recommended for situations where the façade overhang is architecturally constrained.

Does fir hold up under a tile roof?

Under a tiled roof, the upper surface of the fir is protected from direct rain. The main risk is condensation on the undersides. As a guide, the French technical document FD P20-651 gives fir used outdoors in conditions that allow rapid drying a service life of at least 10 years. To extend it, a wood stain or saturator must be applied before installation and reapplied every 2 to 3 years to accessible parts.

Are the wall fixings included?

No. The kit assembly fixings are included, but wall fixings must be sourced separately. The choice depends on the façade material: for solid concrete (garage door lintel), 12 mm expansion anchors are generally suitable. For hollow brick, chemical anchors are recommended.

Is the UGLAS suitable as a large-span canopy?

Yes. At 300 cm wide, the UGLAS suits garages and façades requiring a long canopy without ordering a bespoke model. For widths over 300 cm, see our bespoke door canopy, which has no specified maximum length.
