Long-Span Canopy Roof System

Stadium designers can save with a new long-span canopy roof system from Duo-Gard Industries Inc. The system is designed to significantly reduce the reliance on a structural steel grid as it integrates a clean contemporary look in a low profile with exceptional structural capacity. Translucent glazing adds the benefit of diffused natural light.

Duo-Gard’s Series 3000 BPC-LS features aluminum framing with a specially engineered base plate, pressure plate and curved cap that conceals fasteners in the low-profile system.

Under typical conditions, the system will span 20 feet with no additional support and can be cantilevered up to six feet. Translucent glazing of shatterproof, inch-thick multiwall polycarbonate allows fans to enjoy diffused natural light with protection against the sun’s rays as well as rain, wind and hail.

Each system is custom-designed and engineered around the project’s specifications. The materials used are recyclable. The translucent multiwall polycarbonate glazing is available in a variety of colors and features co-extruded UV protection against color loss or change. Custom colors are also available in the framing.
