Advantages of a Canopy with Columns:
-
Increased Durability: The columns provide greater support and resilience against adverse weather conditions such as strong winds or snowfall.
-
Stability: With columns, the canopy is more stable and secure for long-term use.
-
Larger Coverage Area: It can cover larger surfaces, offering shade and protection without limitations due to lack of support.
-
Weather Protection: It shields against rain and sun, enhancing comfort at the housing unit entrance while reducing water exposure on windows and doors.
-
Shading: Its opaque construction creates shade inside the housing unit, keeping the interior cooler.
-
Aesthetics: Despite the presence of columns, the design remains modern and functional, as the columns can be seamlessly integrated into the oikiskos aesthetics.
-
Longevity: The canopy is resistant to weather conditions and solar radiation and requires no maintenance.
Overall, it provides protection, shade, and aesthetic appeal while ensuring durability and long-term use.
Specifications:
Dimensions:
The canopy can be constructed in the desired dimensions with the following limitations:
Length: 3.00 m (3.22 m including the gutter), with an option to extend by 1 m increments up to 14.00 m (14.22 m including the gutter).
The length of the canopy cannot exceed the length of the cabin.
Width: 3.00 m (3.11 m or 3.22 m including the gutter).
Select:
Add a shelter to a new oikiskos (ordered in the same cart).
Add to an existing oikiskos (that you have previously purchased).
Availability:
Height:
-
Match the height of your housing unit.
-
Standard: External height of 2.50m & internal height of 2.39m.
-
Optional: High Cube with an external height of 3.00m & internal height of 2.89m.
Foundation:
Frame:
-
Default: High-rigidity welded steel frame.
-
Optional: Heavy-duty or extra heavy-duty frame (See Frame Construction Method).
-
If manufactured with a new oikiskos, it will have front columns only, with a maximum spacing of 3m.
-
If added to an existing unit, columns will also be placed at the back.
-
Columns are mounted on a 150x150x8mm metal plate with four Ø18 holes.
Roof Type:
-
Match the type of your housing unit roof.
-
Default: Horizontal roof.
-
Optional: Single-pitch or double-pitch roof.
-
Panel Thickness & Type: Same as the oikisko's roof.
Gutter:
Color:
Electrical Installation:
-
Default: No electrical installation.
-
Optional: Expansion of the power installation (without pre-drilled frame), including:
Logos:
Warranty:
Manufacturing Time:
-
Match the selected housing unit height.
-
Default: According to production flow.
-
Optional: Fast Pass service for quicker delivery.
Transportation:
- If the modular unit width exceeds 2.30m or the canopy width exceeds 2.50m, special transportation is required.
- If ordered with oikiskos, the canopy is placed on top of the unit during transport, incurring no additional shipping costs (except for island destinations with height restrictions on ships, where separate shipping may be necessary).
- If ordered separately for an existing oikiskos, additional transportation service must be purchased.
Lifting:
-
Unloading requires a forklift with wide forks or a crane truck.
-
To calculate lifting capacity, multiply the canopy weight by the installation distance.
-
Larger cranes may be required if obstacles (trees, fences, cables) are present.
-
If unsure, send a sketch and photos for an accurate lifting capacity assessment.
-
Initial setup and crane operation take approximately 1 hour.

CO₂ Emission Offset:
Note: This is a heavy-duty canopy, capable of withstanding significant wind and snow loads. It offers high resistance to extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds and heavy snowfall, thanks to its additional structural support.
