Awnings, in Gardens, Marquees, Canopies of various shapes and sizes


Awnings of various shapes and sizes. The first is a large one that covers a whole food court, this show one corner. It is a metal awning - actually an overall canopy - probably steel building construction as it is rust free and stronger than metal. More photos and images of this large metal canopy will be on soon.


This next is a marquee for a garden party, in a hot place, complete with four air con units (ac, air conditioning) to blast cold air into the middle of the marquee - this is not very 'green' but in colder climates, heating is taken for granted. Air con has a bad name as the 'natives' should sweat a bit...



And this last one is an eco green canopy , with a canopy with a straw roof on a wooden timber painted structure. This is less strong than a metal one but just as durable.
