The best canopies, compared.
Top pick: Yaheetech black door canopy (120 x 80 cm) – Highest score at 90: 4.5 from 2,827 reviews on this listing, and the 120 cm by 80 cm dimension line agrees, at about £39.99. Best value: VOUNOT anthracite door canopy (120 x 80 cm) – About £26.49, the lowest stored price among sheets whose dimension line agrees. Bullets claim 6 mm polycarbonate. The review block is shared. Updated 22.10.2026.
A canopy here is a rigid polycarbonate sheet on wall brackets over a door, a window or a similar opening. UK buyers use one to keep rain off a lock, to shade a door or a wall-mounted inverter, or to cover a wider patio opening. Judge a canopy by the width along the wall and the projection out from it. A size such as 120 by 80 cm means about 120 cm wide and about 80 cm out only when the dimension line agrees. The projection field sometimes copies the width. How to read those fields is in the [canopy size and projection](/hub/sun-shades/canopy/sub/canopy-size-and-projection) guide. A single door usually wants about 100 or 120 cm. Patio or French doors want about 200 cm after you measure downpipes. An outward-opening door can hit the bracket arch. Sheet thickness, drainage and the fixings are the other stable checks. Every canopy of this type needs assembly, and open sides still let in angled rain and low sun. None of these listings prints a wind class or a British Standard number.

Question 1 of 2
How wide is the opening?
The Yaheetech black canopy is a 120 cm by 80 cm sheet at about £39.99, with 4.5 from 2,827 amazon.co.uk reviews on this listing rather than the shared VOUNOT block. The dimension line agrees at 80 cm out, and the bullet tells you to peel a protective film that starts matte and then looks clearer. Reviewers describe rain held off a back door, though many still needed two people, and the fixings are the repeated complaint: too short, they will not tighten, or the drill size is wrong, with texts split between 9 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm. The material line mixes aluminium, plastic and polycarbonate, reviews often call the arms plastic, and no sheet thickness is printed. One review says the arch blocks an outward-opening door, and another reports the cover came off in wind. It is the top pick in this set when you want agreeing size fields and this review file. It is a weak match if you need a printed thickness, a gutter, or a stated wind class.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 120 cm by 80 cm door canopy with agreeing dimensions and its own review file.
Less suitable: You need a printed thickness, a gutter, or clearance for a door that opens outward.
Specifications
Common questions
How far does the Yaheetech canopy project?
The size line is 120 x 80 x 23 cm. The dimension line is 80 cm deep and 120 cm wide, and the projection field is 80 cm. Those three agree.
Does the film stay on?
The bullet says a protective film makes the sheet matte, and peeling it makes the sheet more transparent.
Is assembly tool-free?
No. The listing says assembly is required, with bolts, screws and instructions. The operation field says Automatic, which does not match a fixed canopy.
The grey 200 cm VOUNOT is the wide sheet at about £42.49, with a live price of about £45.66 on 19 October 2026, and both the size line and the dimension line say 80 cm out. The bullets claim 6 mm polycarbonate, six screw sets and an ABS stand, while item weight is 3.5 kg and a bullet says 4.3 kg. The 4.4 from 5,433 reviews is shared with the black 200 cm listing and also discusses 120 cm units, so it is not a colour test. Reviewers describe rain held off patio doors, and some finished assembly in about an hour, but they call the brackets heavy plastic rather than aluminium arms. Supplied expansion screws are widely discarded, and one unit was ripped off in a couple of days. It is the wide option when you measured about 2 m and you trust the dimension line. Skip it if you need metal arms or a review file that is only grey.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured about 2 m of wall and will use the 80 cm dimension line.
Less suitable: You need metal arms, or a review sample that is only this grey unit.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the wide canopy?
Yes. Size is 200 x 80 cm and the dimensions are 0.8 m deep by 2 m wide. Projection is 80 cm.
Are the brackets aluminium?
The material line names polycarbonate, aluminium and ABS. Reviews in the shared block say the black brackets are heavy plastic with two aluminium strips.
Why is the star count 5,433?
That is the listing line. The same first reviews appear on the black 200 cm listing and discuss more than one colour and width.
The black 200 cm VOUNOT is about £44.99, with the item weight and the bullet both at 4.3 kg. Size and dimension depth say 80 cm out, but the projection field copies the width at 200 cm, so that field is not the depth. Bullets match the grey wide unit on a 6 mm sheet, six screw sets and an ABS stand, and the 4.4 from 5,433 reviews is the same block, not an independent black sample. Praise in that block is a useful rain cover, including over a bike, after the buyer changed the fixings. Criticism is the same pattern: plastic brackets, a thin-feeling sheet, and wind that tore one canopy off and left the bolts in the wall. Buy the black file when the colour is the reason and you ignore the 200 cm projection field. Skip it if grey is acceptable on the listing whose projection field agrees.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the black 2 m sheet and you will ignore the 200 cm projection field.
Less suitable: Grey is fine, or you need the projection field to match the depth.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this canopy project 200 cm?
The size line says 200 x 80 cm and the dimension line is 0.8 m deep by 2 m wide. The projection field says 200 cm, which matches the width. Do not read it as depth.
How does it differ from the grey 200 cm file?
The colour field is black and the stored price is about £44.99. The item weight is 4.3 kg. The review text matches the grey file.
Is a wind speed printed?
No. The bullets name rain, snow, sun and wind, with no speed. Do not treat a missing figure as a wind class.
GUANSU-CN lists a 200 cm by 100 cm canopy at about £139.99 and 7.02 kg, and both the size line and the dimension depth say 1 m out. Bullets claim 5 mm polycarbonate with a UV coating, a drainage channel, ABS brackets, and the option to connect units, plus silicone on the edges. The star line is 4.3 from 16 reviews, and the UK texts in the file include a different brand at 120 x 80 cm and a 60 x 80 cm note, so the sample is too small and too mixed to rank durability. Buyers who do seem to have a unit of this kind mention cover over a door or a shed, and one winter report says it held snow without bending. Sharp sheet edges, uncoated wall bolts, and a Vine note doubting waterproofing are the limits in that file. Choose it when you measured a 1 m projection and will not treat 16 reviews as a long test. Skip it if 80 cm out is enough and you want thousands of reviews on a cheaper sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured a 1 m projection over about 2 m of wall and accept a small review file.
Less suitable: 80 cm of cover is enough, or you want a review count in the thousands.
Specifications
Common questions
How deep is the GUANSU-CN canopy?
The size line is 200 x 100 cm and the dimensions are 1 m deep by 2 m wide. That is the 1 m projection in this set.
What wall types are named?
The bullets name four screw types for concrete, stone, wood and brick, and they tell you to add screws at the joints and silicone on the edges.
How many reviews support the 4.3 score?
The listing says 4.3 from 16 reviews. The stored file has 13 UK reviews, and some of them describe other sizes.
This anthracite VOUNOT is the narrow sheet, 100 cm wide and 80 cm out, at about £29.49, and the dimension line agrees. The bullets claim 6 mm polycarbonate with four screw sets, fewer than the six on the 120 cm file. The star line is 4.2 from 2,654, and the first UK reviews match the other short VOUNOT pages, so that count is not a test of the 100 cm width alone. Buyers in that block praise a light cover over a back door once it is up, and they also complain about rubber strips and anchor bolts that fail or are too long. At 2.7 kg it is still described as a two-person lift, and a return for being too big may belong to another width in the shared file. It suits a single door that is tighter than 120 cm if you accept the shared reviews and the four-bolt kit. It is the wrong file if the opening needs the extra 20 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your single door or side door is closer to 100 cm than to 120 cm.
Less suitable: You need 120 cm of cover, or a review file that is only this listing.
Specifications
Common questions
When is 100 cm the relevant width?
The size line is 100 x 80 cm and the dimension line agrees. It is the narrow file in this set. It is not the cheapest: the stored price is about £29.49, above the 120 cm anthracite.
How many screw sets are listed?
Four screw sets and four plastic caps. The wider VOUNOT bullets in this set say six.
Does it need tools?
Yes. Assembly is required. There is no tool-free claim.
The grey VOUNOT is titled 120 x 80 cm at about £33.49, and the live amazon.co.uk page was about £39.99 on 19 October 2026. The size string says 120 x 80 cm, the dimension depth says 75 cm, and the projection field says 120 cm, so you cannot take one number as the depth. Fabric type says polyester while the bullets say 6 mm polycarbonate, an ABS stand and six screw sets, at a listed 2.65 kg. The 4.2 from 2,654 reviews is the same block as the anthracite short files, and those texts like a tidy cover over a kitchen door while they bin the supplied bolts. Use this listing if you want grey and you will trust the 120 x 80 size string rather than the projection field. Skip it when the cheaper anthracite file, whose dimensions agree, already matches the opening.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want grey and you will follow the 120 x 80 size string, not the projection field.
Less suitable: You need one agreed depth on the page, or the lower anthracite price is enough.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the projection 80 cm or 120 cm?
The size line says 120 x 80 cm. The dimension line says 75 cm deep and 120 cm wide. The projection field says 120 cm. The product data does not pick one figure.
Is the sheet polyester?
The fabric-type field says polyester. The bullets say 6 mm polycarbonate, aluminium and an ABS stand. Both lines are in the stored file.
What was the shelf price?
About £33.49 in the stored capture. A live page on 19 October 2026 showed about £39.99.
VOUNOT lists this anthracite canopy as 120 cm by 80 cm at about £26.49, with 4.2 from 2,649 reviews, and the dimension line agrees at 80 cm out. The bullets claim a 6 mm polycarbonate sheet, an ABS stand and six screw sets. UK texts in the shared block describe cover over a side door or a solar inverter once it is up, but that file is the same block as the 100 cm anthracite and the grey 120 cm listings, so a line about another width is not proof about this sheet. The usual criticism is fiddly rubber strips, missing hole spacing, and sleeve bolts that fail in brick, with buyers moving to plugs, coach screws or Rawlbolts. It feels flimsy before it is fixed, many reviews want two people, and one first unit in the shared block came apart within a week. In this set it is the best value when you measured a single door near 120 cm and will budget for better masonry fixings. Skip it if you need a review pool that is only this width and colour.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured about 120 cm of wall and want the lowest stored price among the sheets whose dimensions agree.
Less suitable: You need reviews that only discuss this width, or you will not replace the bolts.
Specifications
Common questions
Do the size fields agree?
Yes. Size is 120 x 80 cm, dimensions are 80 cm deep by 120 cm wide, and projection is 80 cm.
What fixings are in the box?
The bullets say instructions, six screw sets and six plastic caps. Reviews in the shared block often replace those bolts.
Is the 4.2 score only for this anthracite 120 cm unit?
The listing line is 4.2 from 2,649 reviews. The same review text is on two other VOUNOT listings and discusses other widths.
GGNEBAI is the brown-board canopy at about £130.18 and 10.6 kg, and the dimension line is 1 m deep and 3 m wide. The projection field prints 304.8 cm, which copies the width and is not the depth. Bullets claim built-in gutters, UPF 50+, ABS brackets and the option to join units, but no sheet thickness is printed and the contact number on the page is not a UK number. The star line is 4.1 from 342 reviews, and one of the 28 UK texts mentions an 80 x 40 size, so the pool is not perfectly this listing. Reviewers who describe a large unit call it sturdy enough over French doors once fitted, while the same file reports leaks until sealant, a missing bracket, and open channels that took water. It is the listing for a measured opening near 3 m when you will use the dimension line and a helper. It is a poor default if you wanted an 80 cm door canopy or a thickness in millimetres.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured an opening near 3 m and will follow the 1 m dimension depth.
Less suitable: You want an 80 cm single-door sheet, or a thickness printed in millimetres.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this canopy 3 m deep?
No. Dimensions are 1 m deep and 3 m wide. The projection field of 304.8 cm matches the width, not the depth.
Does it include a gutter?
The bullets say built-in rain gutters. They also claim UPF 50+. There is no sheet thickness. Open sides still let rain in at an angle.
Can two be joined?
The bullets say the brackets are the same length so several canopies can be joined. That claim is not on the VOUNOT files in this set.
Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison. Stored prices are the captures in this folder. Two live checks on 19 October 2026 were higher than the stored file (the grey 120 cm listing and the grey 200 cm listing). No lab test. No wind class and no British Standard number is printed on these eight listings, so none is scored. The stored score is the amazon.co.uk star rating divided by 5 and multiplied by 100, rounded. That is 4.5 stars = 90, 4.4 = 88, 4.3 = 86, 4.2 = 84 and 4.1 = 82. Sample size, shared review blocks and size-field conflicts are explained in the written assessment. They are not a second hidden penalty on the number.
Amazon stars
100%The whole score is the amazon.co.uk star rating divided by 5 and multiplied by 100, rounded to a whole number. 4.5 stars is 90. Shared review blocks, projection fields that copy the width, and bolts reviewers replace are called out in the assessment. They do not change the number, because a shared block would otherwise punish every colour of the same file by a different amount.
You are choosing a rigid sheet for a door, a window or a wider opening. The eight amazon.co.uk listings in the stored captures run from about £26.49 to about £139.99. The top pick is the Yaheetech 120 cm sheet when you want agreeing dimensions and a review file for that listing. Best value is the VOUNOT anthracite 120 cm sheet, the lowest stored price among listings whose dimension line agrees. A retractable awning, a shade sail or a gazebo is a different product.
A canopy in this comparison is a rigid polycarbonate sheet on wall brackets over a door, a window or a similar opening. UK buyers use it to keep rain off a lock, to shade a door or a solar inverter, or to cover a wider patio opening. Shade sails, gazebos and a loose tarp are a different product and are not ranked here. Start with width along the wall, then projection out from it. On these listings 120 x 80 cm means about 120 cm wide and about 80 cm out. Read the dimension line.
On three files the projection field copies the width. GGNEBAI prints 304.8 cm against a 1 m dimension depth. The black VOUNOT 200 cm file prints 200 cm against a 0.8 m depth. The grey VOUNOT 120 cm file prints 120 cm, 80 cm and 75 cm. Read the dimension line.
Reviews across VOUNOT and Yaheetech say the supplied sleeve bolts are too short, will not tighten, or need a different drill size. Buyers move to plugs, coach screws or Rawlbolts. Drill after the unit is assembled and the holes are marked.
Three shorter VOUNOT listings share a block near 2,650 reviews. The two 200 cm colours share 5,433. A comment about another width is not a test of the sheet you are buying. Open sides still let in low sun and angled rain.
Width along the wall comes first, then projection out from it. A printed 120 x 80 cm means about 120 cm wide and about 80 cm out only when the dimension line agrees. The projection field copies the width on GGNEBAI, on the black VOUNOT 200 cm file, and on the grey VOUNOT 120 cm file. A single door usually wants 100 or 120 cm. The anthracite VOUNOT 100 cm file is the narrow sheet, with four screw sets rather than six. Patio or French doors want about 200 cm, after you measure downpipes.
VOUNOT bullets say 6 mm polycarbonate. GUANSU-CN says 5 mm plus a drainage channel and a UV coating, with no UPF number. GGNEBAI claims a gutter and UPF 50+ and does not print a thickness. Yaheetech does not print a thickness. The grey VOUNOT 120 cm fabric-type field says polyester against polycarbonate bullets. Aluminium in a title is not proof of metal arms: VOUNOT reviewers describe plastic brackets. Every listing needs assembly. Sleeve bolts are the repeated failure on brick.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are covering a single door, usually about 100 or 120 cm, and the bolts are the part you will argue with. The Yaheetech black canopy is the top pick at about £39.99, with 4.5 from 2,827 reviews on this listing and a dimension line that agrees at 80 cm out. No sheet thickness is printed.
You are covering patio doors, a bike, or about 2 m of wall. The VOUNOT grey 200 cm canopy is about £42.49, and the dimension line says 80 cm out. The 4.4 from 5,433 reviews is shared with the black 200 cm listing. Reviews describe plastic brackets, and one unit left the wall in wind.
You want rain and sun off an inverter on the wall, not a patio roof. A 120 cm sheet with an agreeing dimension line is the usual match. The VOUNOT anthracite canopy is best value at about £26.49. Open sides still let in angled rain, and the review block is shared with two other VOUNOT listings.
The top pick is the Yaheetech black door canopy (120 x 80 cm) at about £39.99. It scores 90, the highest here: 4.5 from 2,827 reviews on this listing, and the dimension line agrees at 80 cm out. No sheet thickness and no gutter are printed, and reviewers often replace the fixings. Best value is the VOUNOT anthracite door canopy (120 x 80 cm) at about £26.49, the lowest stored price among listings whose dimension line agrees and which are not the top pick. The bullets claim 6 mm polycarbonate. The 4.2 from 2,649 reviews is shared with two other VOUNOT listings.
Yaheetech black door canopy (120 x 80 cm)
