Welcome news in that NHBC took the industry feedback and a strong voice from ourselves and the https://www.thewpa.org.uk/ “The wood protection association” in relation to chapter 3.3 and updates to durability and the requirements for free draining post bases, and service life expectations for non-structural timber components for porches and canopies.
All our timber canopies and porches come clear preservative treated and meet these standards in desired service life, preservative treated (NHBC approved process) and minimum natural durability class of the timber.
Did you know that the post requirements must meet the following.
We have a range of post bases found here
Bulk discounts apply to your clients.
In addition, all our canopies and Gallows have had structural calculations and are mortise and tenon jointed where applicable. We are aware of Gallow brackets being sold butt jointed and screwed. Do not let your clients take that risk, we have seen the results!
Please send any projects are if you require any drawings to [email protected]
