3/4" A-Frame Kits come complete with all Fittings to build an A-Frame shelter. The A-Frame Peak Roof Fitting has a 78-degree angle. The pitch has 18" of rise per foot of run. Custom options include: Size, Anchor Stakes, and Side Wall Fittings.
Custom Options:
1. Size - Select your desired structure size indicated by roof square foot coverage. This Kit provides Fittings to space your Canopy poles every 10' down the length. 10' Frame Spacing is the industry standard. This economy spacing is ideal if minimal modifications of EMT poles is preferred (EMT come in standardized 10' lengths).
2. Anchor Stakes - For temporary, semi-permanent and permanent structures, Anchor Stakes secure your Canopy structure to the ground when high winds are a concern. Anchor Stakes are 10" long and can be hammered into the ground to clamp over the ground poles and anchor your shelter down.
3. Side Wall Fittings - Add either 1 or 2 Side Walls. The Side Wall upgrade not only ties your Canopy structure legs together for added horizontal strength but will also provide an additional option for attachment points to fixate side covers. To purchase additional Side Wall Fittings beyond the standard upgrade options, search FOL, and FOT found in the "Shop Now" menu under “Canopy Fittings."
Additional Options (Order separately, found in the "Shop Now" menu).
1. Bar Braces - To reinforce corners and peaks if your structure needs added strength, support and stability.
2. Union Coupler Connectors - To build your Canopy taller/wider than 10' (join two EMT conduit pieces together), use Union Coupler connectors identified as part FC, found in the "Shop Now" menu under “Canopy Fittings”.
3. Pro Seal - Due to wind vibration, we recommend applying liquid semi-permanent thread lock during assembly to the threads of each Fitting eye bolt. For convenience, we sell Pro Seal found in the "Shop Now" menu under "Accessories".
An A-Frame Canopy is an excellent way to provide shelter from the elements, especially in extreme weather conditions like snow and high winds. A-Frames provide maximum drainage and maximum stability. Triangles are known in construction for their strength. They are simple in design and require less poles and Fittings than other canopy styles, which saves money. A-Frames are versatile and can serve many purposes such camping shelters, shelters for livestock, dog houses, carports for small/medium size boats, motorcycles, jet skis, etc. They make great tunnels and can function as an alternative to a hoop house greenhouse for growing rows of crops. The A-Frame shelter is a favorite for Burning Man and other multi-day outdoor festivals. The Anchor Stakes can be hammered directly into the ground to secure it in high wind conditions and the steel frame makes a strong structure or "tent for your tent." The main disadvantage of A-Frames is their lack or clearance. This is obviously not the canopy of choice to cover an RV. However, if headroom is not a huge factor, A-Frames have many advantages. Protective structural coverings to consider are; polycarbonate panels, clear or colored tarps, canvas, vinyl, plastic film sheets, shade cloth, shade nets, chicken wire and corrugated metal, other. *Also sold separately.
