Garden Room with a Canopy Along the Front

Garden Room with a Canopy Along the Front

First Published: 27 December 2020

Extending the roof beyond the front wall to create a canopy adds significant character to a contemporary-style garden room. Paired with a decked veranda below, this feature creates a welcoming entrance and, if deep enough, offers a lovely sheltered spot to sit.

Modern Garden Rooms have designed their Canopy Range featuring this elegant combination of a decked veranda with a roof canopy above. They have shared examples of this range on Instagram, showcasing how striking this detail looks on garden rooms of all sizes.

These examples demonstrate how you can customise the canopy depth to suit your needs. Some prefer a narrow canopy paired with a veranda acting as a step, while others choose a deeper design, providing space for outdoor seating or dining.

The deeper canopies are perfect for placing a chair and table, creating a comfortable spot to enjoy your garden in any weather. The addition of doors opening onto the veranda creates a seamless transition between the insulated room and the garden.

Modern Garden Rooms finish their roof canopies in matching Cedar cladding, ensuring a cohesive and polished appearance.

Another hidden benefit of a canopy is the opportunity to incorporate recessed lighting underneath. These lights cast a soft glow down the front of the garden room, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
