Metal canopies - reliable, functional outbuildings, durable, practical, but visually light, harmoniously fit into the landscape of the site, do not clutter up the natural landscape. In the article we will analyze what are the advantages and disadvantages of metal structures, what is better to build from, we will offer examples simple projects, we will tell you how to correctly calculate the dimensions of the building, as well as its individual elements.
We present a detailed step by step instructions how to do shed canopy from a metal profile with your own hands, the drawings for the example were chosen with average dimensions, if necessary, they can be adjusted to individual conditions.
General characteristics of metal canopies
Canopies made of metal, a photo diagram of a standard design is given below, you can make it yourself, even if you are far from construction. The structure of the building is simple - it is vertical poles, a truss truss is attached to them, then a crate is arranged, then a roof.

Application area
Metal awnings are widely popular in private individual as well as commercial construction. These are covered parking lots, stops - a shelter for people waiting for public transport, structures above the entrance to the building, according to the regulatory regulations, their presence is mandatory in houses above 2 floors, visors above the gate, galleries leading from the gate to the house, outbuildings - shelters for firewood, other utensils, gazebos - from mini designs to combined buildings sometimes two stories.

Constructive
Metal canopies can be divided into three types:
- Mini designs - visors, mobile gazebos, mono-product - barbecue with a roof.
- Independent detached metal buildings.
- Combined - extensions to the garage, house, bath, etc., more often it is a veranda, a terrace - a place to relax, or a shed for household purposes.

The project of a canopy of metal structures is made based on the functionality of the building, these can be:
- open buildings, consisting of supports and a roof;
- closed buildings where the sides are sewn up sheet material, panels, wood, gratings, glazed, closed thick curtains, awning, fabric with special moisture-resistant impregnation, tarpaulin, soft glazing.

Advice: For glazing a metal canopy, it is recommended to use sliding aluminum systems, they do not block the view, the sections can be moved to open the building as much as possible. Such glazing reliable protection from precipitation, dust, gusts of wind, in a slight frost, it will maintain a favorable microclimate inside, which will make your stay comfortable at any time of the year.
Large metal structure combined with brickwork
Open metal canopies, due to the low weight of the structure, are often arranged on the roof of the garage, summer kitchen, gazebos. Such a solution is a great opportunity to organize a comfortable recreation area with a gorgeous view if there is no space for an independent building on the site.
Advantages and disadvantages of metal canopies
Making a canopy with your own hands from metal is profitable, practical solution, subject to construction technology, proper care - the building will serve faithfully for several decades.
Metal structures are not afraid of temperature deltas, they are resistant to natural physical-chemical, biological, mechanical loads. But the metal quickly heats up and cools down, this should be taken into account when building canopies for relaxation, over the barbecue, so it is better to provide protective elements, for example, make railings in the gazebo, as well as wooden seats.
The main enemy of metal sheds is rust, which can cause significant harm, even destroy the structure in a short time. The processing and protection of the metal elements of the canopy will help to avoid fatal consequences.

materials
Metal canopies are divided according to the materials of manufacture:
| Material | supports, | truss system | Auxiliary elements, crate | Fastening |
| The thickness of the walls and the section of the profile depends on the size of the structure | ||||
| round pipe | 50-100 mm in diameter | Ø25-30 mm, often the truss is made of wood | Ø18-25 mm | Welding |
| Profile rolled | Profile rib 50-150 mm | 25*25, 40*30, 25*50, 40*40 mm with a wall of 2 mm for small, medium buildings, 3 mm for large buildings, or a 60*40*2 mm profile is used | 40*20mm | Welding on a metal scarf or bolted connection |
| Prefabricated structures made of aluminum profile | Finished products are assembled as a constructor: on washers or end method | |||
| Canopies made of stainless steel | DIY quality product only for professionals, it is required special kind welding. Canopies made of stainless steel do not require finishing or additional protection. | |||
| Forged Products | The most luxurious, sophisticated type of canopies that will decorate the house and the site. There are 2 options for implementing the idea: order a finished building or do it yourself. The first solution is simpler, but comparing the cost, less financial costs if you weld a frame from a metal profile, decorate it with forged parts, serial stamping, which you can buy on the market, will cost less at a price. | |||
More practical, more economical - to build a canopy from profile pipe with your own hands. Over time, it can be closed with curtains, glazed, overlaid with brick, stone, decorated with forging, wooden grating.

The technical side of the issue - projects, diagrams, drawings, calculations
Analyzing any drawing of a canopy from a profile pipe, the structure can be represented in two parts: a metal frame and a roof. Base - vertical pillars of round pipe or square profile, along the upper heads of which there is a strapping with rolled metal or the lower belt of the truss. This gives rigidity to the metal structure, helps to maintain the geometry even under significant loads.
supports
Pillars are recommended to be placed at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. If the building is adjacent to the house, garage, sauna, etc., then it is advisable to place support columns near the main building that will hold the canopy. In the absence of such an opportunity, in order to tie a canopy to a house from a metal profile, you should do it yourself bearing wall attach cross beam, which will serve as a support for the farm. Long anchors are used in the work. The solution will help distribute the load evenly across the entire load-bearing wall.
Farms
The main load from precipitation and gusts of wind falls on the truss system of the canopy, so it is important to make the correct calculation of the trusses, to determine the thickness of the profile for its manufacture. Canopies from a metal profile, photo examples below, are arranged under a single, gable or arched roof.
Which canopies can be made from a profile pipe with your own hands, photo examples different types roofs
Farms are:
- Triangular, polygonal, parallel, broken - determined by the contour of the belt.
- Inside the belt there can be lattices - triangular, rhombic, slanted and semi-slanted.
- According to the method of support - cantilever, beam, arched, beam-cantilever.
Typical truss arches for metal canopies
In order to correctly calculate the farm from a profile pipe for a canopy, it is necessary to take into account snow, wind loads, angle of inclination of the roof, size of the structure. Experts will help you avoid mistakes in rather complex engineering calculations or you should use an online calculator.
For the manufacture of small or medium metal canopies, in private it is better to use ready-made drawings and projects, to make universal trusses that are suitable for all types of structures.
Standard shed trusses
Optimum roof slope 15-25 o, suitable for all types of roofing material: polycarbonate, corrugated board, soft roof, metal tiles, etc.
Requirements for materials and fastening
In order for a frame for a canopy made of a profile pipe to meet quality standards, a number of conditions must be met:
- It is unacceptable to use a profile with cracks for the manufacture of nodes, load-bearing elements canopy.
- The end face of the supporting ribs must have a roughness of Ra £12.5 µm, which is regulated by GOST 2789-73.
- For trusses of the lower belt, steel without internal layers is used, coarse slag inclusions are strictly prohibited.
- According to GOST in section 14771-76, joints should be made by mechanical welding, using carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon and argon.
- Guided by paragraphs 2246-70 and 26271-84 of GOST, PP-AN-8 wire is required for welding.
- GOST in part 7798-70 states: rafters are attached to vertical supports and subrafters with class 5.8 bolts.

How to make a metal canopy with your own hands - step by step instructions
We will make a canopy from a metal profile with our own hands, we took standard drawings, adapted them to the size of the site, the dimensions of the building are 4 * 3 m, the roof is made of polycarbonate 8 mm thick.
The standard scheme, according to which we will build a canopy from a metal profile with our own hands, photo standard design with arched roof
Foundation
We enclose the site with pegs, pull the rope, mark the installation site for the pillars, check the geometry, the diagonals should be equal. We remove the upper soft layer of soil, dig holes for supports, 700 mm deep.
Attention: If the area is swampy, uneven terrain or the ground on the site is quicksand, then it is better to equip pile foundation.We fill the bottom with crushed stone and sandstone, layers of 100 ml, we ram the pillow. The site can be paved paving slabs or pour concrete. For concreting the site, a reinforcing frame is made of corrugated rods, a cell of 100 * 100, 200 * 200 mm, is laid on a pillow so that the reinforcement does not touch the bottom by 50 mm, pebbles or ready-made coasters should be placed. A crate is installed around the perimeter, a 100 mm thick slab is poured with concrete at once, without interruptions. The fittings must be immersed in the solution by 50 mm from all sides.
How to concrete metal pole
We pour concrete at the bottom of the pits, a layer of 100 mm, insert pillars from a profile pipe, check the verticals, fill the mortar to ground level. If necessary, we set the selections until the concrete has completely solidified in order to maintain the geometry of the frame for the canopy.
After a week, when the solution gains strength, we file the pillars to size. We weld the harness along the upper heads, this will fasten the building and give it rigidity.
How to weld a truss for a canopy
The farm is best made on the ground, then raised to the frame. To bend the profile, you can use special machine or make a rigid template with your own hands, according to which the details of the farm will bend. In large stores, a service is provided for bending a metal profile along standard radii. Farms should be installed every meter, there are 5 of them in our construction. We need 10 curved parts, as well as a 30 * 30 * 2 mm profile for internal stiffeners.
How to attach a farm to metal frame on bolts
We cut down the elements of the farm in size, cook the main nodes truss system. When all the parts are ready, we lift them with a crane onto the frame, then we attach them to the strapping with bolts or by welding onto a steel scarf. Next, we weld the crate from a profile of 40 * 25 * 2 mm, a distance of 750 mm.
Treatment
After assembly, we clean the frame with a stiff brush, remove scale, remove signs of corrosion, then go through sandpaper to finally get rid of the lesions, as well as increase the adhesion of surfaces. Before painting, to degrease the frame, it should be washed with a rag soaked in a solvent, when it has completely evaporated, it can be primed.
Useful advice: A light gray primer is suitable for any color of paint, dark mixtures are relevant for bright colors paints for pastel colors it is better to use white primer.The primer will protect the canopy from corrosion, significantly reduce paint consumption. If a coloring composition does not have good hiding power, the primer layer will provide reliable protective layer and uniform color. Under hammer compositions, one layer is sufficient to cover ordinary paints it is better to apply primer 2 times. Metal canopies are painted with brushes, rollers, spraying from an airbrush is most beneficial, which will significantly speed up the process, reduce paint consumption by one and a half to two times, and provide an even, holistic, reliable, aesthetic coating.

How to fix polycarbonate to the metal frame of the canopy
For metal canopies it is better to use cellular polycarbonate. Cut with a grinder with a disc for metal. Sand the edges with a fine abrasive to remove burrs. You can fix polycarbonate on thermal washers or using a special profile.
In the first case, holes are made 2 mm larger than the diameter of the fastening leg. Wears on the puck rubber compressor, which prevents dust and moisture from getting inside, the part is inserted into the hole until a characteristic click. Point fastening allows the material to maneuver a little, which protects the polycarbonate from deformation, cracking during the operation of the material during cooling or heating.
Thermal washer mount
The profile connection is more hermetic, it is justified when it is necessary to join the panels. The edges sit on thermal washers. Which type of profile to choose depends on the type of roof, so it is selected individually.
Detailed diagram-instruction on how to properly bend and fasten polycarbonate
Subsequently, the sides of the canopy can be sewn up with blank panels, glazed, hung curtains or planted grapes, climbing roses, climbing plants when they grow, you will get a beautiful, lively gallery.
Be sure to see how to make a canopy with your own hands from metal, the video tells in detail how to join the main components of the structure, cook the farm, and strengthen the frame. The video describes in detail what errors I encountered in practice, as well as how to eliminate them.
Canopies with a metal frame can be found both in the yards of private houses, and in in public places. These are covered parking lots, canopies for porches and balconies, shelters for grills, barbecues, woodsheds and much more.
In this article, we will explain why these types of designs are so popular and where they are most often used. You will also learn how to calculate and build a canopy with your own hands from metal.
Metal awnings with polycarbonate coating
The smaller the future building, the easier it is to calculate. An exception is shelters with an area of 15 m 2 or more - here it is better to entrust the project of a canopy from metal structures to professionals.
Advantages of metal canopies
It is no coincidence that metal is so popular as a material for the manufacture of frames for polycarbonate canopies. Its most important advantage is durability. With the proper quality of installation and maintenance during operation, such a building can stand for several decades. All care consists in treatment with anti-corrosion compounds or paints containing them. In the event of rust stains, it is enough to spot-clean the affected areas and treat them with special preparations.

It should also be noted wide selection metal profiles: different wall thicknesses, geometry and cross-sectional diameter. Pipes also differ in metal thickness and diameter. Thanks to this, you can always choose a p corresponding to the purpose and dimensions of the future building. For example, for a small steel canopy over the porch, you will need a profile, rectangular in cross section, with a diameter of 15 mm and a wall thickness of 1 mm; the supports of the car park shelter are erected from pipes or a profile with a diameter of 40 - 50 mm, with a wall thickness of 2 mm, etc.

Note:we must not forget about the aesthetic side of the issue. Metal allows you to build beautiful forged canopies. Although it is impossible to make them without special equipment and skills, shelters of this type are usually ordered in workshops specializing in artistic forging.Types of materials
Sheds are made of stainless steel, as mentioned above, from a metal profile, metal pipe and forged metal. The first option is the most common, as it is presented in stores in a wide range. In addition, square and rectangular profiles are equally conveniently mounted both on self-tapping screws and by welding. For small details or small canopies, a corner of different sizes goes well.
How to make a canopy with your own hands from metal: the video describes the assembly of a visor from a steel pipe.
Less often metal canopies from pipes. In principle, their range in stores is also wide, both in diameter and in wall thickness. But in installation they are a little more complicated, it is more difficult to create right angles with them. Although there are pluses - it’s not difficult to buy old heating pipes from your hands, from which you can assemble a budget building. For example, this is how you can make a canopy from a profile pipe with your own hands for firewood or a country shower cabin. Forged metal is mentioned above.
Different types of profile pipes
What type of awnings are made of metal?
Such shelters can be used for different purposes. For example, do-it-yourself canopies for cars are made of metal very often. It could be like small roof over a single car park or swimming pool, and a huge shelter with an area of more than 30 m 2 . All differences will be in the design and technical specifications material used.
From a thin profile or forging, it is very good to make metal canopies over a porch or balcony. In the first case, we get a strong, visually light frame which is easy to assemble by hand. Forging is either just a beautiful, openwork canopy, or a whole work of art, made according to individual project. True, a forged frame will cost, unlike a profile one, as an example.
Note: erected from metal and sheds over woodsheds, although less often. Support posts and a roof frame are usually made here, and the walls are sewn up with wood - these are the features of storing firewood. For these purposes, dismantled pipes are usually used. heating system or profile waste from other construction. New materials for woodsheds are purchased only in cases where the canopy also has a decorative function, located directly next to the barbecue or barbecue oven.

How to calculate a metal canopy
- Draw a sketch with approximate dimensions and marks regarding the type of profile used.
- We accurately measure the installation site and, based on the figures obtained, create a drawing of a canopy from a profile pipe.
- We decide what section the metal profiles or pipes of trusses and battens will be.
- We enter new data into the drawing and already on them we calculate the amount of required materials. At the same stage, it will become clear how many and what kind of hardware will be required.
We do not take into account the parameters of roofing materials, since the roof area will be small. Do not forget to include in the calculation of a truss from a profile pipe for a canopy right amount diagonal gratings. If it is a forged metal structure, then we only make a sketch of it with the desired dimensions. The wizard will do the rest for you.
Forged visor drawing
Dimensional buildings like car sheds or adjoining galleries require more careful attention. In addition to performing the above steps, here it is necessary to correctly determine the shape of the roof frame from the profile. The most common option is the arched design. It will resist snow and wind loads well, and installation will not cause any special problems.
Note:in the area with strong winds it is better to give preference gable roofs. The slopes of the frame will be oriented to the ground at a large angle, which means there is less risk of damage to them by the wind. In addition, the rain will be less detectable inside the building.

Self-construction of a metal polycarbonate canopy over the recreation area
Do-it-yourself work on the installation of a canopy for a house from a metal profile will require some physical effort, but you can do it pretty quickly. The most important thing is to approach the matter responsibly.
Foundation pouring and installation of load-bearing supports
The foundation for canopies from a metal profile is made columnar. Pits are dug with a manual or mechanical drill, to a depth of 50 cm. No reinforcement is made, the mortar is mixed from 3 parts of sand and 1 part of cement. It will take three days for the foundation to harden, after which you can proceed to further work.
To the bottom support pillars"heels" are welded - mortgages, due to which the entire structure will be attached to the foundation. In the mortgages, we drill holes in the corners and fasten the posts with anchors to the concrete. We carry out this work, referring to the building level.

Canopy roof assembly
The answer to the question - how to weld a truss for a canopy is quite simple. This is done from side profiles and diagonal gratings. Usually the former have a cross section 10 mm larger than the latter, but it can be the same. We start by splicing along the edges, then continuing to move towards the center:
- Point bait.
- Check for level and, if necessary, edit with a sledgehammer.
- Complete welding of elements.
Usually, the side and truss trusses are assembled separately, then they are installed in turn on the supports: first the side trusses, and the trusses on them. However, if lifting equipment is available, the entire roof frame can be assembled on the ground, as shown in the photo below.
Building a metal canopy: photo of the assembled roof frame
We raise the trusses or the finished frame from the profile to the supports - here you will need at least two pairs of working hands. Further standard actions: spot welding, level check, and then permanent welding. After the entire frame structure is assembled, we clean the welding spots from scale and treat them with an anti-corrosion compound. If a metallic profile does not have protective coating over the entire surface - apply it yourself. This stage should be treated very carefully, since the duration of the operation of the canopy depends on it.

Installation of polycarbonate
Polycarbonate sheets are laid on the frame as is, without removing the protective film. Using a drill, holes are drilled on them for the entry of fasteners - 4 cm from the edge. We use not ordinary hardware for metal, but special thermal washers, with sealing rings and plugs. We put a thermal washer on the hole, twist it with a self-tapping screw and close its cap with a plug. The entry of fasteners must be strictly perpendicular to the surface of the polycarbonate. We twist tightly, but do not overtighten, in order to avoid damage to the surface of the material.
The figure shows how to attach polycarbonate to the metal frame of the canopy: we use special thermal washers
Docking of polycarbonate sheets is carried out using a split profile. Its lower part is screwed onto the frame crate even before the roofing material is laid. The cover is “fastened” by means of a toothed lock, the “legs” of which are located on both parts of the profile. The figure shows that the lid is equipped with rubber gaskets, which provide additional insulation of joints.
split profile
And the last step remains - we close the side sections of polycarbonate sheets with perforated tape, and then with an end profile. So we protect the air channels of the roof from the penetration of moisture and pollution. This completes the construction of the metal canopy, you can proceed to the finishing of the site under it.
End profile processing
We carry out production of canopies of any type and design according to your sizes. For creation are used: cellular polycarbonate, metal pipes different thickness and heights anti-corrosion paint for coating metal structures.
When ordering, we produce installation using a pile foundation. Installation time from 1 day.

- Dimensions - 80x80 or 100x100
Cost per pole- 6000 rub , installation price one pile for a metal canopy - 2500 rubles.
It is difficult to overestimate the practicality and reliability of a metal canopy. It protects the inhabitants of the house and their property from dirt, rain, snow, sun or wind. A canopy can become a real decoration of a private house or cottage. This article will help you choose best options, as well as make a shady metal canopy with your own hands.
The metal canopy is beautiful and reliable
Metal canopies and their advantages
One of the most common types of canopy is metal. They have many advantages over traditional wooden ones:
- Metal is a very flexible material. It can be made in the shape and size you want. Therefore, the most complex canopies, canopies and other curved structures are made of metal.
- Due to their flexibility, metal awnings are easy to install.
- With the further sale of the premises, a durable metal canopy near the house will be a plus, as it does not require replacement for many years.
- Neither high humidity, nor sudden changes in temperature, nor other external factors affect metal canopies. They do not require as much maintenance as wooden ones.
- The metal frame can fit into any landscape and home design. Metal provides the best opportunities for design solutions.
- They are strong and reliable.
Metal canopy will last for many years
Types of metal canopies
Before installing a canopy for your home, you need to determine what functions it will perform, as well as its location. And based on these data, you can already choose best view and form.
Depending on the functions performed, canopies are distinguished:
- shade canopies protect from the scorching sun;
- car awnings;
- canopies over the entrance or over the windows.
Canopy made of metal can be made in any shape
Types of metal canopies for the house:
- small awnings and canopies attached to the house;
- canopies that stand separately;
- large sheds attached to the main building. These include terraces and verandas.
A canopy attached to the house will protect from the sun or rain
A detached canopy will be a great place to relax
Canopies and visors are also distinguished by shape:
- Straight. It is easy to make such a canopy, but it is not very practical, since water, snow and ice accumulate on it;
- Single or double sloping awnings;
- Arches and domes;
- Polygons and pyramids.
Arched canopy looks elegant and tasteful
The metal canopy can also be in the shape of a triangle or a polygon.
Materials for the manufacture of metal canopies:
- Pipes and profiles. They are distinguished by the thickness of the walls and the cross section, which is selected depending on the severity of the future structure.
- Coating. The most common types:
- Polycarbonate appreciated for its grace and pleasant appearance. This coating lasts for quite a long time - about ten years. Our company will produce for you own production high-quality polycarbonate and install it at an affordable price - 3 thousand rubles per meter.
- Metal profile sheet is exceptionally strong and durable. At proper care such a coating will last about half a century. Due to the fact that it will not require replacement for a very long time, this option is very economical.
- Price for metal tile slightly higher than for other types of coatings. It is reliable, beautiful and will last for many years.
Metal canopy with polycarbonate coating looks stylish and expensive
We will manufacture and install for you any of the above types of canopy in Moscow and the Moscow region. In addition, we provide free shipping.
How to make a shady metal canopy
Do-it-yourself awnings will help to hide from the scorching rays of the sun or precipitation. The design of such a building is very simple. Anyone who is familiar with the welding machine will cope with its construction.
Shaded metal awnings are very popular
Materials and tools for building a canopy
The easiest way is to build shade canopies for your house from a profile pipe, and choose cellular polycarbonate as a cover.
For construction, you will need the following tools:
- A circular saw;
- Hammer, grinder, drill;
- Metallic profile;
- Sheets of cellular polycarbonate;
- Profile pipes;
- gravel, sand, cement;
- Roulette for measurements, building level;
- Thermal washers;
- 10 curved truss pieces.
The scheme of the shadow arched canopy
Foundation construction
First you need to install the pegs and stretch the rope between them, according to the drawings. The building will be 4 meters long and 3 meters wide.
We measure diagonals. If they are equal, then the pegs are set correctly.
We are digging holes for support at a depth of 700 meters. You also need to remove upper layer earth.
Further, crushed stone with sandstone 100 meters deep should be poured into the pits and compacted.
The resulting site can be poured with concrete or tiled. To do this, you need to make a reinforcing frame, which consists of corrugated rods. The size of each cell is 10*10 cm.
The reinforcement is laid on the pillow, not reaching the bottom of 5 cm. We install the crate around the perimeter and fill it with concrete.
Make sure that the reinforcement is at a depth of 5 cm.
The pits must be filled with a 10 cm layer of concrete, the pipes should be placed exactly (we check vertically) and the hole should be completely filled with concrete. To prevent the structure from tilting, it is better to install a temporary support.
After 7 days, when the concrete becomes hard enough, add the solution.
For greater strength, you can install additional supports near the building to which the canopy adjoins.
The area under the canopy can be tiled
Farm making
The farm is an important element of the canopy, as it bears a large load. Its production must be approached with all care.
This canopy requires 5 trusses. They will be located every 100 cm. We take curved parts and a profile of 30 * 30 * 2 mm.
In large construction stores you can bend the metal profile for a fee.
In size, it is necessary to fill in parts of the truss and weld the nodes of the truss system. Then you need to weld the finished truss onto a steel scarf.
At a distance of 75 cm we attach a crate from a profile. Size 40*25*2 mm.
Making a canopy with your own hands is easy
Frame finish
When the frame is ready, use a stiff brush to remove scale. We finish cleaning with sandpaper.
The primer will protect the metal from corrosion, and the paint will give an aesthetic appearance.
Installation of polycarbonate
Cellular polycarbonate is cut with a grinder. To make the edges even, you need to process them with a fine abrasive. You can attach with thermal washers.
You can choose any color of polycarbonate for your home
Colored polycarbonate looks beautiful and unusual
It is not necessary to make a metal canopy with your own hands. You can entrust this time-consuming task to our experienced team of professionals. Call us and we will help in the selection and installation of any metal canopy or canopy with polycarbonate coating according to the most affordable prices in Moscow and Moscow region.
