Canopies for terraces and parking, pergolas and load-bearing steel frames for extensions.
For anything that carries a roof we ask for the span, the pitch and the substrate before quoting. On the coast we also allow for the bura, and size the anchors for it — a canopy that leaves in the first storm costs more than one anchored properly at the start.
Canopies for terraces and parking, pergolas and steel frames for extensions. For longer spans we run the load calculations and send the drawing before any steel is cut.
For one or two vehicles, covered in sheet, polycarbonate or panel. Drainage is run inside the structure.
An open structure for a terrace, prepared for fabric, a blind or glass.
For an extension, loft conversion or intermediate floor — to the engineer's design, with anchor plates.
Panel-covered structure with concealed drainage. The anchors were sized for the bura.
Load-bearing steel frame with anchor plates to the engineer's design. Installation took a single day.
By the sea it is the protection that decides, not the thickness of the steel. Before we quote, we ask where the structure will stand and how far it is from the water.
The strongest and cheapest option, but only with galvanising and powder coating. Left unprotected on the coast it rusts within a single season.
For handrails and railings by the sea. AISI 316 where there is salt and spray, 304 for interiors and the inland areas.
Light and it does not rust, so we choose it for balcony railings on tall buildings and wherever nobody will be maintaining the structure.
Immersion in molten zinc protects the inside of the profile as well. Powder coating in your RAL colour goes on top.
