Steel is the most commonly used material for shell petrol station canopies due to its strength, durability and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. Steel canopies are made from a variety of steel components, including steel frames, beams, columns, trusses, purlins and girts.

A canopy is an overhead roof or else a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached, able to provide shade or shelter from weather conditions such as sun, hail, snow and rain. A canopy can also be a tent, generally without a floor.

Customers may be scared away by poorly lit gas stations late at night. Canopies are ideal for providing ample lighting in order to create a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for your customers. A canopy also provides large-scale advertising and brand awareness.
