03 things to keep in mind when installing a walkway canopy

  • Safe and secure: the roof must be installed on an independent and solid structure, avoiding danger to pedestrians and surrounding structures. The roof must also have a good drainage system to avoid water accumulation and causing the roof to collapse.
