Q) I have a problem of a drain pipe running down in the middle of the wall. Do you have anything that could get around the pipe, i.e a method for cutting out a section of the back strengthening bar and joining it around this?
A) We are able to cut down parts of the aluminium bar and the polycarbonate sheet easily with a Jigsaw as the images below demonstrate, please make this clear in your order if you require this service. During installation, some people take away the down pipe first before assembling the Canofix canopy, then reassemble the pipe once that is done.
Guttering
Q) Does it have some sort of guttering at the front or does the water just slide off?
A) Our front aluminium bar is a hollow tube, and the top can be peeled off with a plier (as if you're opening a tin can, see first image below) so it can act like a gutter. Otherwise customers put extra PVC gutter at the front along the edge of the Canofix canopy. As for the extra drainage down-pipe at the end corners, a connector with a diameter of 38mm will fit our front aluminium bar, however we do not provide any extra PVC drainage down pipes.
Canofix Logo on the Brackets
Q) We are looking at canopies and I can see some of your images have brackets without the canofix marking. Is this something you can specify?
A) A) Depending on our bracket sizes (projection size from the wall), we have a "no-logo" brand engraving, or a small brand cut-out.
-
650mm projection bracket has small logo on it
-
1000mm projection bracket has "No-Logo" at all.
-
1270mm projection bracket shall be "No-logo" from the ones provided onward March 2019.
-
1500mm projection bracket has much smaller logo on it, compared with previous version as below.
LED Lighting
Q) Do the aluminium bars come with LED lighting strip?
A) The aluminium bars do not come with a LED lighting strip, nor it comes with specific requirements on what kind of LED light you can or cannot use as we only provide the canopy itself. You can use any LED strip and lighting that can be purchased locally or by internet to install your lighting under the Canofix canopy nicely.
Extra supporting bar at the edge
Q) Is there any extra support for the Canofix canopy around the edges available, if so how much would it cost?
A) Please visit https://www.canofix.co.uk/product-page/2-side-edge-supporting-bars-stainless-steel for more information. It will cost 80 GBP for the stainless steel bar.
Size, Dimension, Weight, etc.
Q) What are the sizes of canofix projection from the wall?
Q) The support bracket flange is 260mm long for the PC1000, at what centres are the holes for the raw bolts?
Q) We are interested in buying a Canofix canopy 1500x2000. This would be fixed to a hardwood beam which we are suspending between two parallel walls. So as to specify the correct size of beam, please would you provide the following information:
-
The weight of the canopy complete with brackets.
-
The height of the brackets at the point they meet the fixing surface.
-
The length of the fixing bolts.
A) For the 1500mm (deep) x 2000 (wide or long)mm Canofix canopy, it could have 2 or 3 brackets on the wall depending on your wall condition, but we normally send 3 brackets.
-
Total weight is around 25kg in total.
-
Bracket feet height is exactly 275mm as attached pics. (On the other pic, it read as 260mm or 280cm but it is accurately 275mm)
-
Anchor bolts size is around 90mm long, and going into the wall around 47mm deep into the wall. For this anchor bolt, you need 14mm drill bits.
