Can the installation be carried out on an existing terrace?

Yes, if your terrace meets certain conditions.

The deck must be able to adapt to our mounting points! You therefore need to ensure a solid reinforced concrete base of at least 15 cm around the entire perimeter of the patio cover, to enable the dowels to be fixed in place.

In these cases, we invite you to visit our showroom for further information on the specific features of our products.
