Apollo Entrance Canopy Structures

The Apollo Entrance Canopy is a two legged free standing barrel vault. The design is ideal for modern office and industrial buildings, where the modular design can not withstand imposed canopy loadings.

The unit is supplied in three parts, the legs plus the factory finished cover, however site access and conditions may mean the canopy cover is site assembled.
Longer canopies are available to the same base design but will have additional columns.

Standard 2 leg format 3.0m wide x 2.0m deep
Standard 4 leg format 3.0m wide x 5.0m deep

Specification
Carbon steel framework, shot blasted and painted to any RAL or B.S. colour. For more aggressive environments and longer service life the structure can be hot zinc metal sprayed before painting.

Tubular columns require built in foundation bolts (by others) which should be cast 14 days before the canopy is erected, as no additional fixings are made to the adjacent building. If more than two legs are supplied the free standing canopy can be chemically anchored to precast foundations or slabs.

UV protected solid or muliwall polycarbonate glazing fixed with two part glazing bar. Glazing bars are white as standard but can be to any standard RAL or BS colour at additional charge.

Rainwater gutters can be included to both eaves with downpipes supplied to discharge at ground level, again at additional charge.

The overall height of this canopy was adjusted to suit the detailing on the buildings fascia. The columns were also brought close to the wall to enable pedestrians to turn quickly out of the doors. The structure has been colour matched to the RAL number supplied by the glazing contractors.
