Who are Palram Canopia?

Around since the 1960’s, Palram Industries as they were known before rebranding to Canopia in the UK are a world-class producer of commercial and domestic products, headquartered in Israel with subsidiaries based in many parts of the world, including the Middle East, US, Europe, and Doncaster in the United Kingdom.

The brand is best known as a major manufacturer of polycarbonate roofing materials for industrial use and heavy construction supplying direct to the trade.  Later years led them to start producing outdoor structures that could be sold to the domestic home market via a retailer network.

Canopia, by Palram is the sector of the company dealing with outdoor garden buildings such as carports, patio covers, gazebos, greenhouses, sheds and awnings above doors.

The UK based company imports all goods from the manufacturing plant in Israel and keeps large quantities of stocks at all times plus a comprehensive spare parts department just in case anything gets lost or broken.

How We Partnered Together

We’ve been manufacturing concrete sectional building industry for over 45 years and still going strong, but we were constantly being asked about other garden buildings.  After some extensive research with other leading garden building manufacturers, we found the Canopia brand.

After a personal visit to their HQ in Doncaster in 2018, we decided that their ethics were a good fit with ours, and we formed a partnership agreement together.

How Difficult Are They To Build?

All goods come with extensive and professional instruction manuals, plus some items have videos to accompany the manual.  If you are a reasonably competent DIY’er, you should be able to complete the installation.

Generally we would say if you are capable of building a flat pack wardrobe, you should be ok with some of the more complex palram products.

The key to a good build, is to lay everything out into groups, and firstly make sure nothing is missing or broken.  Then follow the instruction slowly and carefully.  Keep a clean working area for safety.

Where To Start First?

Read the instruction manual first before you start work.  It will show you what tools are required and when groundwork should be completed – either before or during the build depending on the item.

For larger items, it is best to seek the help of a friend to assist in the installation.

As well as the manual, we have a technical team on hand to help with anything you might get stuck with.  You can email or phone and speak with someone who will help you with your enquiry.  We may ask you to take photographs if it helps to diagnose your issue, so if you feel this will help, please send them up front with an accompanying email to support@nucrete.co.uk

If we cannot resolve your issue first hand, we will deal with the manufacturer on your behalf until you get a satisfactory resolution to the problem.

What If I Can’t Manage The Build Myself?

If you don’t feel capable of the project you can always employ a general builder to do the job for you.  If you don’t have contacts in the building trade you can find a local tradesperson on any of the trade portals such as CheckaTrade or MyBuilder.

Most of the compex builds can be completed in a couple of days by a competent tradesperson and their labourer.

Instruction Booklet

If you want to see the instruction booklet before you make a purchase, let us know.  We can send you a pdf copy for the relevant item via email if you want to take a look first.

You could also use the instruction booklet to send onto a tradesperson if you are looking for quotes for installation.

The guarantee varies between 8 and 15 years dependant on the item.  If you;re not certain what the guarantee period is for an item, feel free to ask and we’ll confirm it in writing.

Greenhouses

Palram manufacture many styles and sizes of greenhouse that make use of polycarbonate panels or acrylic panels as both materials are resistant to rot and virtually unbreakable, whilst having excellent light transmission properties. The entire range of time-tested products are maintenance free and last for years, even in the harshest of climates.

Each greenhouse is supplied in kit form for DIY installation which are easy-to-assemble, including full instructions and a full selection of fixings to assemble the greenhouse as required.

Aluminium Carports

A wide range of carports make up the offering from Canopia, from simple and cost effective models, to heavy duty cantilever types – and everything in between.

They provide shelter for cars, or a partial screen from the elements if fitted over a side entrance door, for example. 

Door Awnings

There’s a vast range of door awnings available to enhance the entrance to your property in this category, in traditional and modern styles and at very competitive prices.  If you are looking to buy one, take a look at our shop pages to see the vast selection available.

Storage Sheds

Sheds are made from aluminium and polycarbonate or acrylic panels to provide a durable finish for you to safely store your belongings.  Unlike timber, plastics don’t require annual maintenance and won’t rot over time making an ideal solution if you don’t like additional work after the assembly is complete.

Gazebos

A gazebo from Palram is a great addition for any garden, with quick and easy assembly, it sure will become a favourite place to relax and is probably the best looking of all garden structures.  Their appearance is simply excellent and probably one of the best home improvement moves you can make.

Patio Covers

Patio canopies are the mainstay of the business and the application of the product is limitless.  The glazing improves UV protection and shelter from the elements while you and your family enjoy outdoor time.  The detail is exceptionally high which is why Palram finds itself at the forefront of canopy construction projects.

Kit Prices

The cost can vary enormously, depending on what you are looking to purchase, but generally are very competitive due to the fact that the panels are manufactured and not bought from a third party source.  Additionally, we specialise in goods that may have different applications, but are made in a similar way, hence keeping production costs down.
