3. Roof Pitch


With a canopy you are spoilt for choice when it comes to the roof design. The roof pitch is a major feature in creating the look and feel for your canopy and there are designs which can be used to blend the canopy in with the existing building roof structures or create a stunning contrast. The design of your canopy roof will come down to personal preference and so this is something that needs to be discussed with all decision makers before making the final choice. It also has an important practical application to ensure water runs off efficiently.


The main roof pitch designs for our steel and timber framed canopies are mono pitch, domed, curved, apex, cantilevered and umbrella.


Mono-Pitch is an ideal choice if you are unsure what design to choose as this roof pitch is likely to fit in with any environment. This roof is the most popular design chosen by our customers as it offers clean, simple lines and is a very cost-effective option.


Domed roofs offer a modern feel to your environment and fit in with most settings. These are ideal in areas which have other domed roofs, to ensure a neat fit. They can also create an attractive contrast to areas where more traditional roof pitches are used.


Curved roof canopies look great adjacent to contemporary buildings as they create sloping effects. They are modern designs and are perfect for early years and primary settings, making a striking addition to any environment.


Apex roofs are very versatile and can fit in with all environments, however they are particularly suited to older, more traditionally designed buildings as they usually feature apex roofs too.


Cantilevered roofs have a modern appearance yet, as they have no front posts they tend to have small projections and are ideal for covering small areas such as entrances.


Umbrellas are ideal for more natural settings, as the roof shape blends well with trees and greener environments. We can offer large tensile umbrellas which are waterproof and UV resistant- perfect for creating attractive outdoor seating areas.
