Abc Canopy
Abc Canopy
A canopy is an overhead roof or else a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached, able to provide
shade or shelter from weather conditions such as sun, hail, snow and rain.
A canopy can also be a tent, generally without a floor.
Architectural canopies include projections giving protection from the weather, or merely decoration. Such canopies
are supported by the building to which they are attached and often also by a ground mounting provided by not less
than two stanchions, or upright support posts.
Canopies can also stand alone, such as a fabric covered gazebo or cabana.
Many modern fabrics are long-lasting, bright, easily cleaned, strong and flame-retardant. This material can be vinyl,
acrylic, polyester or canvas. Modern frame materials offer high strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance.
The proper combination of these properties can result in safe, strong, economical and attractive products.
