WHAT IS CANOPY ?
Canopies have a wide variety of uses from providing shade to us to protecting our assets from Mother
Nature. Canopies now come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on their desired use. It is also
used for decorative purposes and to emphasize a route or part of a building.

Canopy in construction
evolved as an architectural
feature during the
Renaissance. During that
period, it was employed as a
fixed structure supported on
pillars.

CANTILEVERED

Cantilevered canopies are a specific


type of canopy system that utilize a
single column instead of a typical
double column system.
The result of using a single column is
that the canopy “cantilevers” out past
the column.

canopy is supported by the column on
the sides, column taking the load of
the canopy.
This is generally considered as being
the most simple type of canopy.

SUSPENDED

Suspended canopies are building


elements made of a roof in panels,
glass or polycarbonate, and a metal
frame anchored to the wall and
without the use of supporting
columns.
Its is supported by the strings from
the main structural member.
