Description

Steel canopies

Canopies are steel structures designed to shelter goods or materials that can be stored outdoors from precipitation. On the one hand, the range of options simplifies the choice of structure; on the other, it increases the risk of making a mistake. For a canopy to last as long as possible, it should be chosen responsibly. Steel canopies are especially in demand today.

Why is steel a good choice?

Steel structures are popular on the market thanks to the following features:

• Long service life;

• High mechanical strength;

• Fire safety;

• Fast installation;

• Versatility.

All these qualities make steel structures almost universal. They can be installed not only at private homes or country houses but also at high-hazard industrial facilities. Customers can choose the canopy texture: rough, smooth, glossy, etc. There is also a wide choice of paint colors. To prevent corrosion, the structure is coated with a special protective agent.

How to choose a canopy?

Steel structures are classified by several criteria. First, by function:

• Awnings mounted over windows and doorways. Made of profiled steel without vertical supports.

• Free-standing canopies installed on their own supports, with no structural connection to the building.

• Combined structures attached to a building, with vertical supports.

Second, structures differ in shape: mono-pitch, gable and hipped. Arched and semi-arched canopies are also available.

When choosing a canopy, consider where it will be used. Permanent structures suit long-term use; for temporary use, a demountable configuration is better. Canopies are used for agricultural needs, to protect retail outlets, as car parks, to shelter doorways from precipitation, etc. They are widely used in industry and warehouses for the safe storage of equipment and goods.

Canopy installation

Heavy-duty structures require a reinforced foundation. The key stage is soil analysis. Concreting the site is also a good idea. Next comes the installation of supports, which we make from steel. The distance between posts depends on their specifications and the truss dimensions.

For a reliable support system, the truss must consist of a steel frame. Metal tiles or profiled sheeting are suitable as cladding.
