Each kit includes a canopy tarp cover, the required galvanized steel canopy fittings, and black ball bungee ties used to secure the cover to the frame. Customers purchase the pipe locally to complete the canopy structure, helping reduce shipping costs.
Slope roof canopy kits are commonly used for awning-style shelters, equipment covers, and structures built alongside buildings where a single-direction roof slope is preferred.
Slope roof canopies are designed with a height difference between the front and back legs in order to create the slanted roof line. Typically, the rear legs are approximately 2 feet taller than the front legs.
For example, a typical structure may use 8-foot legs in the back and 6-foot legs in the front. This difference allows the canopy fittings to align correctly while creating the desired roof slope.
The fittings used in slope roof canopy kits are manufactured with two different angles so the frame structure lines up properly when assembled with the correct leg height difference.
This design creates a structure similar to a window awning or lean-to style canopy, allowing rainwater to run off toward the lower edge of the roof.
