Outdoor Canopies & Shelters for Public Spaces
Fordingbridge curved roof outdoor canopies & shelters are ideal for a range of uses in public spaces, from pedestrian waiting areas, sheltered outdoor waiting and recreation areas, train station shelters and other mass transit uses, through to canopies, awnings and porches on public buildings.
Outdoor canopies, awnings and walkways can be built in a variety of shapes to suit the site including horseshoes, staggered (to cope with a sloping site), and long, flowing spans alongside or between buildings.
Our outdoor canopies, awnings and covered walkways are supported by either laminated timber or steel frame structures. Steel frames have a hot dip galvanised steel finish as standard, with RAL/BS paint finish also available.
Our fabric roof systems – guaranteed for five years - allow 60% light transmission whilst giving 95% UV protection. The triple wall polycarbonate is guaranteed for ten years. Both coverings are fire retardant.
Our insulated buildings are fully L2 Building Regulations compliant, with glazed walling options and curved roofs with the option of composite roofs with or without fixed or opening roof light sections, alternatively roofs can be part or fully glazed.
The frames are mainly steel in construction with a composite roof and curtain walling with micro rib composite side walls as standard.
We also offer a tension fabric design and construction service, providing a range of elegant design solutions offering permanent structures with a lightweight appearance and minimal structural support but a long life.
The structure is a steel framework with hot-dip galvanised or RAL/BS painted finish, plus fabric membrane offering durability of 10 to 20 years for the PVC membrane, to 25-30 years with the PTFE membrane coating.
Shapes include: cantilevered, hypar, umbrella and double conic. We are continually exploring the application’s possibilities.
Full building regulations calculations and CDM package are available with all structures.
