How long does it take to install a Puffin Smoking Canopy?

The typical time taken to install Puffin smoking canopies from the day you place the order will not take you more than a 6 week period. As soon as we receive your order, we will start fabricating your shelter as fast as we can. As long as the structure does not have extremely unique designs and specification that are not part of our regular designs, we will have the smoking shelters ready for use within 6 weeks at the latest. We will normally finish the work well within this time period as we always aim to finish our work well ahead of time.

Unless there are legal issues involved in getting the planning permission on time or any other unforeseen delay, you can expect to have your smoking shelter's ready for use well within a 45 day period. Provided extreme weather does not stop our work, we will be able to get your smoking canopies for use well ahead of schedule.

Do Puffin smoking canopies block out the light?

Puffin smoking canopies do block out light but not light from the visible spectrum. Light is composed of various frequencies that are both visible as well as invisible. Much of the harmful UV rays from the sun lie in the visible spectrum. It is precisely these rays of light that the tensile membrane used in the roof of our smoking shelters blocks out. Therefore sufficient sunlight still filters through the roof while all the harmful UV rays that can damage the skin and the eyes are filtered out. As a result of this special screening function, you can spend extended periods of time under the smoking shelters without being affected by the harmful effects of sunlight. The roof membrane used for our smoking canopies are also waterproof, Therefore, you can sit under the canopy even when it is raining heavily outside without worrying about getting wet. Our shelters can withstand all kinds of typical British weather.

What optional extras are offered with Puffin smoking shelters?

The optional extras offered with Puffin smoking shelters include plexiglas half-sides which you can request us to place on any side of the structure. While the structure can be left totally open for most practical purposes, smoking canopies can be covered on the sides also, as long as the openings are more than 50% of the area of the walls of the structure, as per the regulations for smoking shelters. The optional Plexiglas half-sides that we offer with our designs totally conform to the regulations laid down for such structures. Moreover, these plexiglas half-sides also provide much needed protection from side winds for smokers, especially when the weather is much colder outside. While these stipulations are meant only for smoking canopies, other kinds of shelters do not come under these regulations. Therefore, we have several other options available for other kinds of structures that we have designed for these covered spaces.
