Canopy Custom Design: Structural Design, Material Options, and the Optimal Process
The design of custom and special purpose canopies is a comprehensive process. The course breaks the process down into manageable steps. We examine the structural performance and design options based on loading criteria and material limitations. We discover how the structure design impacts the canopy top choice and options for optimizing quality natural daylight transmission, illumination, safety, and longevity.
Learning Objectives
- Canopy structural design – examining structural components and reviewing steel and aluminum options
- Methods to safely maximize canopy spans for clean structural design
- Selecting canopy top technology for light transmission, shading, structural requirements, and aesthetics
- Budget preparation from design through installation
- Benefits of quality certification programs
