Steel/acrylic canopy over back door - advice / thoughts?

[SiliconS]

I want to install a canopy over our back door, which is quite exposed in wet weather. I've found some nice-looking ones made by a German company called Polymer. The range is called LightLine. I can buy online and the cheapest price I've found is £350 delivered for a 1500x950 canopy:



I suppose a glass canopy would be quieter than this acrylic style when it rains but the acrylic is cheaper and will put less stress on the fixings.

Have any of you folk got experience with these sorts of canopies? Any experience of "Classic PVC Home Improvements" in south Wales? Any comments or feedback before I order one?

Advice would be appreciated!

I would imagine it will be a pain in the arse to keep clean.

Would be good to see it hold up to a few feet of snow too!

Thanks for those comments. I expect you're both right.

Spotted this on ebay, looks to have more of a curve which could act against build up of snow, cheap too
