Hi architecture lovers..
Maybe this sounds a little crazy to you, because this time I tried to do something I've never done, which is to make a canopy in front of my shop to protect it from the hot sun and rain.
The reason I made this canopy myself is because the funds I have are very limited, for how it works I learned through youtube media.
I built this canopy using a steel frame, and using zinc as the roof, with a length of 6 meters and a width of 3 meters.
The ingredients I use and what I
need in making this canopy are:
-Light steel ribs are generally 6 meters long, about 10 rods can be prepared.
Mild steel battens with a length of 6 meters as many as 12 rods.
spandex, about 5 sheets. 6 meters long.
The manufacture of canopies from mild steel and the need for materials to make the canopy are of course greatly influenced by the size of the canopy to be made and the shape of the canopy.
Knowledge in designing the canopy roof truss is very necessary, so as not to endanger the owner and others.
The things I did as per the instructions I got on youtube were:
- Making the Supporting Poles for the Canopy Frame.
The first part that must be made is to make the support poles from mild steel rafters, the manufacture of support poles can be made in various shapes according to the wishes and availability of materials.
2.Canopy Roof Slope Mild steel.
To measure the slope of the roof you can use a water pass or other measuring instrument that aims to determine the angle of the roof slope, this is so that when it rains, rainwater can fall to where we expect and not vice versa. After the poles have been assembled, the next step is erect the poles and string between the poles using mild steel rafters.
3.Installing C Mild Steel
After the poles are assembled, the next step is to install mild steel rafters or c with a distance of 120 cm between the rafters (the tighter the stronger), attach the bolts using an electric drill. Install until all the rafters are attached.
