The Rimessa can be self-assembled. It arrives as a kit with all the fixings and instructions, and the lightweight polycarbonate roof panels are straightforward to handle, although an extra pair of hands is still useful for positioning them safely.

You need a solid, level base such as concrete or block paving, plus clear access for the materials. Have a power supply nearby for the LED lighting. For self-assembly, set aside about one to two days depending on size and ground conditions.

Wash the powder-coated aluminium frame with warm soapy water two or three times a year, more often near busy roads where traffic film builds up. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth so no streaks are left on the finish.

Clean the polycarbonate roof with mild soapy water and a soft, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Avoid scourers, solvents and harsh chemicals, which can scratch or cloud the panels.

Clear leaves and grit from the gutter and the drainage runs inside the posts each season. Blocked channels are the main cause of overflow and premature wear, so a few minutes here protects the whole structure.

The aluminium frame carries a 5 year warranty against paint faults such as peeling, blistering or premature deterioration in normal use. The integrated LED lighting is covered for 2 years.

In coastal, high-moisture or chemical settings the paint cover reduces to 2 years, as salt and airborne chemicals speed up wear. The warranty applies to normal residential use and excludes misuse, neglect, storm or snow damage beyond the rated load, and any unauthorised alteration.

The Rimessa is made to order. Stocked sizes are dispatched in around 7 days, while made-to-order configurations take roughly 14 to 16 days to build.

Once it is ready, we deliver it to you to assemble. Have the base laid and access clear beforehand, plus a power supply ready near the carport for the LED lighting.
