The Rimessa can be self-assembled. It arrives as a kit with all the fixings and instructions, and the safety-glass roof panels are heavy, so line up a couple of extra pairs of hands. If you would rather not do it yourself, our approved network can fit it for you.

Either way 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. Whether you build it yourself or we fit it, 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 reinforced safety glass with a standard glass cleaner and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid scourers or solvents, which can scratch the surface or dull the frame.

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, or our approved network arranges a fitting date to suit you. Have the base laid and access clear beforehand, plus a power supply ready near the carport for the LED lighting.
