Our verdict
Palram Canopia is the UK market leader in fixed-roof patio covers, and the Stockholm is their premium offering. The twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels are virtually unbreakable, block 100% of UV rays, and provide full rain protection year-round. The aluminium frame is powder-coated in anthracite grey and rated for heavy snow and wind loads. Unlike a pergola with a fabric or louvred roof, this is a permanent, maintenance-free shelter — fit it once and forget about it for a decade. The trade-off is that you cannot adjust the shade or open the roof to the sky. Ideal for covering a patio dining area, hot tub or outdoor kitchen.
