Canopy 37

A canopy is an overhead roof or structure that provides shelter from weather conditions like sun, rain, and snow. Canopies are supported by the building and ground mounts. They serve several purposes like making entrances visible, providing shade and weather protection at entrances, and allowing vehicle movement under drop-off areas. Common canopy types include cabana, custom, entrance, fabric, metal, patio, retractable, shade, walkway, and weather-protection canopies. Case studies demonstrate canopies used at commercial buildings, ramps, restaurants, and offices.

CANOPY:
A canopy is an overhead roof or a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached, providing shade or
shelter from weather conditions such as sun, hail, snow, and rain. 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 ground mounting provided by not less than two stanchions, or upright
support posts.

• FUNCTION AND USE:


1. Make the entrance easily visible and adds to the building’s aesthetics.
2. Provide shade and protects the entrance from all weather conditions.
3. Canopies provide shade and allow free movement of vehicles in the drop-off
area as there is no support at the free end from the ground.
4. The load of the canopy is transferred to the frame of the structure.
TYPES OF CANOPY :
Awnings and canopies can be into many canopy categories. Types include cabana, custom, entrance, fabric, metal, patio,
retractable, shade, walkway, and weather-protection canopies.
• Cabana canopies and Gazebos are often used at swimming pools, beaches, and resorts.
• Custom canopies are designed for specialized applications and may be able to withstand significant wind loads.
• Entrance canopies are installed at a building’s entrance and may admit some light while providing protection from the
sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
• Fabric canopies are usually made of canvas, and metal canopies are usually made of aluminum.
• Retractable canopies are motorized units that cover areas during inclement weather and retract when weather
conditions are favorable.
• Shade canopies provide protection from the intense summer sun. Walkway and weather-protection awnings and
canopies are also available. 37_GANESH PATIL
