Tapered Simplicity 35 Carport System with Opal Polycarbonate Roofing Installed by Cambridge Canopies Ltd

Cambridge Canopies Ltd recently completed a domestic carport installation using the Simplicity 35 system from Milwood Group. Known for their high-quality canopy and shelter solutions across East Anglia, Cambridge Canopies worked with precision and care to enhance the customer’s driveway space with a durable, attractive, and low-maintenance aluminium structure.

Located in Mildenhall, this installation transformed an open, clutter-prone driveway into a sheltered, functional space with a modern edge. The customer opted for a 6m x 6m tapered Simplicity 35 Carport in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey with opal 35mm polycarbonate roof panels, selected for their excellent light diffusion and UV resistance.

Technical Specification

  • System: Simplicity 35 Carport
  • Dimensions: 6000mm (W) x 5300mm (P)
  • Roof Glazing: 35mm Multiwall Polycarbonate – Opal
  • Frame Finish: RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey (Textured)
  • Guttering: Integrated aluminium system with black square downpipes
  • Posts: 80mm x 80mm extruded aluminium, securely fixed to ground

The system is designed with a pitch of 5.1° to allow effective rainwater run-off and features a dual gasket roof bar system for maximum weather resistance.

Installation & Requirements

Due to the positioning next to a residential property and brick garage, Cambridge Canopies tapered the design to suit the available space.

The installation required:

  • Secure surface fixing of the aluminium posts on the paved driveway
  • Accurate wall plate fitting to the side elevation of the house
  • Integration with existing gutter lines for smooth drainage
  • Gate clearance planning for front boundary railings

Despite the compact space, the Simplicity 35 provided an efficient, sleek solution that enhanced both the look and utility of the home’s exterior.

Benefits Delivered

The new Simplicity 35 Carport provides year-round protection for vehicles and bikes, helping reduce wear from UV, frost, and rainfall. The modern design complements the brick façade of the home while reducing driveway clutter.

The customer now benefits from:

  • All-weather covered parking
  • Reduced vehicle cleaning and maintenance
  • Improved property aesthetics and value

Why Milwood Group Systems Stand Out

Milwood Group’s UK-extruded Simplicity 35 system gave Cambridge Canopies full confidence in product quality and ease of installation.

As a trade partner, they benefit from:

  • Full 5-page CAD drawing per job

  • UK-based extrusion, design, and powder-coating

  • Bespoke sizing and tailored support

  • Unbranded systems and marketing materials
