Canopy provides protection for the house, for windows, doors, ventilation and air from hot and rain weather.

These days, the canopy becomes increasingly diverse materials, such as from roof tiles, shingles materials (wood), vinyl, polycarbonate, fabric, plastic, not concrete, zinc, and fiber cement. The diversity of these materials facilitates you to choose the material as needed. Stainless steel is the finest material for canopy, this material is more corrosion-resistant, more elegant, and not bothers to care. Disadvantage of this material is relatively expensive, because it requires professional welding in order to have perfect result. If there is a defect, this material cannot closed by using putty or else.

If you want to add furniture under your canopy, I suggest you to use teak furniture that specially design for outdoor furniture. Your furniture will expose to extreme weather changing, therefore strong and durable furniture needed.
