Steel Canopy Design
The style of roof that is selected for a canopy is a very important, as this is the most stand-out feature that people will notice about it in the street scene. Each roof style has its own unique features, some are designed to fit in with existing buildings, and others are a state of the art design to make a canopy stand out.

The client defined the minimum height clearance due to the possibility of manipulating the vehicle under the canopy, and the walls of the existing building defined the height in the ridge. The adopted system consist of 3 columns and the spans are 9.5x9m. The original supplier of the canopy remains unknown, and Steel King was called in to provide a stronger, high-quality replacement before the restaurant's reopening.

Canopy structures, normally referred to as portable storage buildings, are an economical investment in terms of sheltering and protecting a range of other items. Some shelters such as carports and portable garages all fall under the category of canopies, and these are all a combination of a galvanized or powder-coated steel frame and a heavy-duty polyethylene canopy. These canopies on any shelter have been treated and are strong enough to withstand the elements, including rain and snowfall, as well as wind.

Some architects or contractors are interested in commercial canopy designs that incorporate both aluminum and steel. These canopies are possible, and Mitchell Metals can provide them, but there are things we want you to know before you decide.
Advantages of Combining Steel and Aluminum in Canopy Designs
When you combine aluminum and steel in a canopy design, you are able to have longer spans between supports. This is a significant advantage in the metal canopy process because it will allow for a more unobstructed walkway as well as reduce the amount of canopy members needed, in turn lowering the cost.

In addition to the longer span length, a canopy made of aluminum and steel will have less framing support required in the structure.

Disadvantages of this Metal Combination
There will, however, be issues when you set out to combine two dissimilar metals into one canopy design.
One of the disadvantages is that the design eliminates the ability to have internal drainage because downspouts will most likely be required, and you cannot drain water through steel which will rust. Also, clear spans become limited to the maximum length that decking can be ordered (which is 24′ -2”) when you combine the two metals.
Things to Be Aware of with Custom Canopies
When designing a custom metal canopy that includes both aluminum and steel, you must be careful not to get too far away from the way an aluminum canopy system works. If you stray too far, it could compromise the integrity of the structure, or not drain properly. If you desire to combine the two metals, start with an aluminum canopy design, and see where steel could fit in.
During the installation process for a custom canopy like this one, bituminous coating is required to counteract a galvanic reaction between two dissimilar metals — to do this, you could use felt, acrylic, or paint coatings such as polyester or Kynar. Anodized materials must use felt or acrylic.
Another thing to be aware of is that mixing metals in a canopy design also requires the mixing of vendors. If a steel and aluminum canopy is what you desire, Mitchell Metals can provide the aluminum, but not the steel. We will work with one of our trusted steel providers to get you the exact design you are looking for. Contact us, or look at our specs to get more information.
