123v Technical Information
Materials Specification – CANTILEVER CANOPY / CARPORT
All of our cantilever roof beams are made in glass reinforced polyester (GRP), and are hand laminated in our factory to suit loadings. These are further reinforced with a unique structural grade alloy 6082T6 (BS 1474) section designed by our R&D department for use in GRP beams. This makes for a stronger beam with far superior roof sheet fixings.
We use 3kg M² Translucent glass reinforced polyester sheeting, with ultraviolet filter (Class 3 fire rating), which is 85% translucent. Although our guarantee extends for 10 years, the expected service life of the sheeting we use is 30 years and is manufactured to our exclusive profile.
UPVC guttering system can be included.
Our fascia are extruded in structural grade alloy 6082T6, powder coated (BS 6496) and if required we use steel galvanised powder coated bungalow brackets (BS 6496).
All of our materials are specified for dead & imposed loadings. (BS 6399 part3) and our wall and roof fixings, where required, are by / Rawl bolt UK Great Britain.
Installation Method – CANTILEVER
To fit a cantilever carport to a bungalow requires brackets to spread the load over the supporting wall but, done correctly, this is as safe and secure as on any other structure. Cantilever carports have the advantage of not creating obstacles on a driveway or pathway, however the projection is limited to 3629mm (11’9”).
The roof beams are bolted to masonry wall and alloy fascia. Where required, temporary alloy snow posts are bolted to alloy fascia and our roof sheets are fixed with self-drilling screws with bi-moulded plastic caps. The gutter riveted to suit.
This specification in terms of Design, Manufacture and Installation has been formed so as to take into account both parties’ obligation to the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
Materials Specification – CARPORTS AND CANOPIES
Our roof beams (Design reg. Profile) are extruded in structural grade alloy 6082T6 (BS 1474), and powder coated (BS 6496).
Our fascia are extruded in structural grade alloy 6082T6, and powder coated.
We use 3kg M² Translucent glass reinforced polyester sheeting, with ultraviolet filter (Class 3 fire rating), which is 85% translucent. Although our guarantee extends for 10 years, the expected service life of the sheeting we use is 30 years and is manufactured to our exclusive profile.
UPVC guttering system can be included.
Our posts are structural grade aluminium, powder coated.
Where required, brackets are grade 43 steel, galvanised (BS EN ISO 1461) and powder coated (BS 6496).
All of our materials specified for dead & imposed loadings (BS 6399 part3).
Our wall and roof fixings, where required, are by / Rawl Bolt Great Britain.
Installation Method – CARPORTS AND CANOPIES
Our roof beams are bolted to alloy fascia and alloy fascia bolted to alloy posts. The roof sheets are fixed with self-drilling screws with bi-moulded plastic caps and posts are concreted into new foundations and/or bolted to existing foundation. The gutter is riveted to suit.

Materials Specification – VERANDA
Our glazing support system is extruded in structural grade aluminium 6082T6, powder coated (BS 6496). This bespoke system has been specifically designed for the uplift of imposed loading of wind, as well as the down force of wind, snow and sand that open side structures are required to endure. All load bearing sections are bolted into position with marine grade (A4) stainless steel fixings. On occasion other fittings may be used should they be more suitable.
The veranda fascia gutter combination is extruded in architectural grade alloy 6063T6 (BS 1474), powder coated. The section acts as the veranda gutter support for the glazing system via the cantilever beams and/or the supporting posts or brackets, as well as housing all the electrical options and associated wiring.
Where required, the veranda cantilever beams (Patent Number: EP2141495) are extruded in structural grade alloy 6082T6, powder coated, taking into account individual beam load requirements.
Our posts, where required, are structural grade aluminium, powder coated and are concreted into new foundations and/or bolted to existing structure.
All of our materials are specified for dead & imposed loadings. (BS 6399 part3)
Our wall fixings, where required, are by Rawl Bolt and / or Great Britain.
This specification in terms of Design, Manufacture and Installation has been formed so as to take into account both parties’ obligation to the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
Materials Specification – SOLAR POWERED CANOPIES
The solar glazing support system is extruded in structural grade aluminium 6082T6, powder coated (BS 6496). This bespoke system has been specifically designed for the installation of glass solar panels, as well as the uplift of imposed loading of wind that open sided structures are required to endure. All load bearing sections are bolted into position with marine grade (A4) stainless steel fixings.
The canopy fascia gutter combination is extruded in architectural grade alloy 6063T6 (BS 1474), powder coated (BS 6496). The section acts as the veranda gutter support for the glazing system as well as housing all the electrical options and associated wiring for lights.
The glazing is solar glass panels, which we do not supply, however we are installing them. These will be delivered direct to site by others.
Our posts, where required, are structural grade aluminium, powder coated and are concreted into new foundations and/or bolted to existing structure.
All Materials specified for dead & imposed loadings. (BS 6399 part3)
