Throwback Friday: The Ultimate Twin-Van Commercial Canopy

For this week’s #ThrowbackFriday, we are looking back at a standout commercial project from last year. Speed, precision, and smart design came together perfectly on this one—our team completely installed this massive structure in just 3 days.

We absolutely love commercial jobs when a plan comes together seamlessly, and this project was a masterclass in collaboration.

Smart Prep Meets Smart Drainage

A great canopy relies on a great foundation. Before we arrived on-site, the builder successfully laid a perfectly chamfered concrete pad designed to effortlessly channel water away into the drainage system.

Because of this brilliant prep work, the client now has the ultimate fully waterproof workspace to wash down and hand over their shiny new vehicles to customers, completely protected from the elements.

Style, Specs, and Serious Scale

To comfortably house two large commercial vans at once, we needed a structure with serious presence. That’s where our signature Hcurve canopy design shines.

Here is how the dimensions stack up:

  • Width: A whopping 6.6 meters
  • Length: 8.2 meters
  • Eaves Height: 2.8 meters clearance on either side
  • Peak Height: Rises to 3.4 meters in the center curve

Thanks to that clever unique curve, this canopy provides the extra vertical clearance needed to house big, tall commercial vehicles with style.

The Premium Finish

This specific structure was finished in a sleek RAL 7016 powder coating to match the client’s branding. However, for commercial projects looking to maximise durability while saving on costs, opting for a classic galvanised finish is another fantastic, budget-friendly alternative we frequently offer.

To complete the workspace, we integrated a 16mm polycarbonate wall featuring entirely seamless fixings. This creates a highly durable, sleek, and fully weatherproof barrier that keeps the wind and driving rain at bay.

Looking to upgrade your commercial workspace Whether you need a valeting bay, a vehicle handover zone, or extra dry outdoor storage, we design structures built to handle business. Get in touch with our team today to discuss your next project!
