Owners of private households sometimes take a different path, and instead of a garage – a solid building on their site, they build a light structure where it is convenient to leave the car.

A Shade N Net is mounted easy – you just need to install support pillars, and on top a light roof from waterproof material. The foundation and walls for the canopy are not needed. From the sides, the canopy is most often open, but sometimes the side parts are sheathed to protect the car from snow, dust, rain, and in summer from sunlight.

A canopy is built in the form of a frame structure, the material for which is metal or wood. It can both stand apart and be attached to the facade of the house. Supports are racks made of rectangular profile. You can have a look at some examples on shade-n-net.com.

Canopy Benefits

• A canopy can be placed anywhere in the garden due to the ease of construction of this structure. The building will not clutter up the space, visually it looks light and airy.
• The erection of a canopy is less expensive and is carried out in just two or three days, it does not require maintenance and communications, therefore, the canopy is more economical for the owner.
• The canopy can, if desired, be dismantled and moved to another place, and it can also be easily expanded, lengthened, if you need to put another car.

More useful than a garage

The owner has easier access to the car with a canopy – he does not need to open and close the garage door several times a day for repeated trips made during the day. It is much more convenient to approach a car standing under a canopy than to go into a garage.
