Installing timber roofs and structures

From timber to an assembled structure.

For a roof, canopy, pergola or garden building, you can ask us to handle installation too. We agree the stages of work and how much to complete on site.

Installation may be carried out directly by Vela or by teams we coordinate, depending on the project.

From preparation to installation

Work planned before reaching the site.

Fewer stages for you to manage

You can include materials, machining, delivery, unloading and installation in one enquiry, with responsibility agreed for each stage.

Components prepared before arrival

Cuts, holes and joints made in the workshop to the project drawings reduce the work needed on site.

Based in Poppi

Where we work.

For smaller structures, we generally prioritise locations within about two hours of Poppi. For larger projects, we also consider locations further away.

Travel arrangements are confirmed for each project.

What we agree before starting

The work included, responsibilities, site preparation, timing and level of completion. Whether a site visit is needed depends on the project.

When signed calculations or drawings are required, we work with qualified external professionals.
