Fixed Canopies

 

Canopies primarily designed for other purposes such as:

 

 

can provide very good wind shelter. The mesh size to generate good shelter depends on the shape of the structure and the turbulence of the incoming winds.

 

Your WeatherSolve designer will discuss fabric options and effectiveness with you.

 

 

fixed Canopies

 

This canopy is designed for a car storage yard. It has suspension cables that enable loads in excess of 6" of snow or 2" of hail to be supported across 100ft spans. Down the row, the poles are 24ft apart.

 

 

Fixed Canopies

 

These canopies are set for parking cars in from each side as drawn below. It is shown here in hail protection mode, but can also be used for shade.


The side curtains are to protect against blowing hail. They could also be used for signage and advertising.


The "T" frames are 60ft apart and 14ft high.

 

Fixed Canopies

 

A range of cross-sectional shapes are available to match functional and aesthetic requirements.

Fixed Canopies

 

These canopies are over Carembolas in South Florida. The poles are approx 80ft apart and 20ft high. They are set up primarily for wind shelter, though the canopy uses a "hail" net.


For heavy snow or hail loads, a closer pole spacing would usually be economical.

 

What size holes can we have
in the net?

 

The best hole size is as large as possible, whilst still giving protection.

 

In general terms this means holes about the size of the smallest hail that causes damage.

 

Strange things happen.


When the fabric is taut, hail stones tend to bounce on the net and hit other stones coming down. One orchard in Hastings NZ that was covered with a birdnet (3/4" diam holes) got almost perfect protection from a rice hail storm with hail about 3/8" long and 1/8" wide!

 

 

The above images show two hailnets, plus a section of 30% shade which can also be used for hail. The above are all woven fabrics.

 

The block of images below show birdnets and hailnets constructed using a Rochelle Knit.

 

The denser fabrics are used for hail.

 

(Particularly the white net on a blue background and the red net.)
