How to Choose a Vehicle Canopy
Intended use
Decide whether the structure is required primarily for loading operations, covered parking or general vehicle protection.
Vehicle dimensions
Allow sufficient width, height and clearance for the cars, vans, lorries, forklifts or other vehicles using the area.
Site and local conditions
Consider traffic flow, access points, ground space, existing buildings, wind exposure, rain and local snow-load requirements.

Check ground conditions, delivery and unloading access, anchoring requirements and whether self-assembly or professional installation is more suitable.
