The core advantages of steel structure canopies are their light weight, high strength, convenient construction and strong durability. Common types can be classified into four categories according to structural forms, which are suitable for different scene requirements.

I. Main Types of Steel Structure Canopies

Single-slope steel structure canopy: Simple structure, composed of steel beams + purlins + panels, with unidirectional drainage on the slope. It is suitable for small-scale shielding scenarios such as doorways and the outside of Windows, and has a relatively low cost.

Double-slope steel structure canopy: The slopes on both sides are symmetrical, with higher drainage efficiency and the span can be appropriately increased. It is often used in medium-span scenarios such as factory entrances and warehouse loading and unloading areas.

Arc-shaped (arched) steel structure canopy: The overall shape is arc-shaped, with more uniform force distribution, a higher appearance level, and strong wind resistance. It is suitable for scenarios such as the entrances of shopping malls, parking lots, and the exteriors of large venues that require a balance between aesthetics and large spans.

Steel structure glass canopy: It takes steel structure as the framework and is equipped with tempered glass or laminated glass panels. It has good light transmittance and is suitable for scenarios with lighting requirements such as the entrances of office buildings and the lighting areas of atriums.

Ii. Core Advantages of Steel Structure Canopies

It has high strength and light weight. Under the same span, it is lighter than concrete canopies and exerts less load-bearing pressure on the main building.

The construction period is short. Steel structure components can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled on site, without the need for long-term curing.

It has good durability. After anti-corrosion treatment, the steel has strong anti-rust ability and a service life of 20 to 50 years.

It has a flexible shape and can be designed in various styles such as single slope and arc, adapting to different architectural styles.

The maintenance cost is low. Only regular inspection of the anti-corrosion coating and connection nodes is required on a daily basis, without the need for complex maintenance.
