Kitset design. This 4.2 m canopy is 112 parts, engineered as one modular system and ordered by size.
No posts. Aluminium outriggers carry the whole canopy off the wall. Standard depths are 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200 and 2400 mm.
Drawing: side elevation. The canopy reaches from the wall face to the front edge with no posts. Snow and dead load act downward and wind uplift acts upward.Engineered before you order. Site-specific engineering data and PS1s available on request.
Drawing: plan. The outline shows the depth and length chosen.Continuous gutter at the rear. The canopy falls at 5° into the integrated gutter.
Only the fixings pass through the wall. The system mounts outside the weather line, with six fixings at each outrigger.
Standard details for a range of cladding types.
Drawing: section through the fixing. The coach screws pass through the backing rail and the weather line into the wall, in two rows 155 millimetres apart.Solid aluminium, stiffened at the edge. 4 mm panels screw to the outriggers with M5/M6 screws. The joints between them are sealed with 1 mm foam tape.
Delivered as a complete kitset, ready for installation. Every part of your canopy packs flat: a tray pack, with the long lengths bundled alongside. Fewer trades and fewer hold-ups on site.

FAQ
Questions about Equinox.
Equinox is the cantilevered system: outrigger brackets, 4 mm solid panels and an integrated gutter, in five standard depths from 1600 to 2400 mm with no posts. Horizon is a simpler folded 3 mm canopy on tie rods or brackets, and the lower-cost option for a standard entrance.
Yes. Standard Equinox and Horizon designs are pre-engineered, with site-specific engineering data available for standard designs.
Equinox comes in five standard depths: 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200 and 2400 mm. The length is fabricated to suit, in 200 mm increments. Try sizes in the 3D on the Equinox page.
It's really easy. Choose a size and finish, then ask for a quote. We'll confirm the kit, engineering and the lead times, then send out a ready-to-install canopy that can be installed by a single trade.
Powdercoat. Matt Black, White and Grey are the standard colours for Equinox and Horizon, and other colours are available, like the Farmlands canopy in its brand colours.
Anyone. The kitset canopy system has a very simple installation process and clear installation guides allowing installation by builders, contractors, and property owners. Refer installation guide for further installation details or contact our team for further advice.
