A canopy is typically a steel framed structure that offers shade and protection. The types of covers that are included in most carport kits can vary in both quality and style. Full coverage canopies include an enclosure kit and when constructed acts as a temporary carport or portable garage. There are times though when complete coverage is not ideal and a good quality top cover is more than sufficient for optimal protection. In these instances the best protection alternative to full coverage is the valance carport canopy.
Designed with an eight-inch overhang around all four edges, the valance top canopy not only blocks 100% of the suns UV rays but is also fully waterproof. The polyethylene material, which makes up the valance top cover, is naturally mildew and rot resistant. The valance carport canopy is part of our portable shelter line of products and is available in a variety of sizes ranging from single carport designs to a double carport designs. Each canopy with valance top is constructed using hardened, galvanized steel tubing and fitting connectors.
The unique overhang is designed to deflect water and snow runoff away from the inner contents of the canopy. Moreover, the valance overhang acts as a visor, which shields the sun and prevents glare. Valance canopies are not only the perfect choice for instant boat shelters and truck canopies but are also great as garden canopies, which can be used for weddings and backyard gatherings.
