Gas Station Canopy

[intense_design]

Hi Everyone!
So I need your help.. I have to do a gas station canopy. What are your thoughts to use for metal to go around it.. I was going to do AlumaCorr then cap the top and bottom and sides. What do you guys recommend for this kind of project. Thanks in advance!

There is a chain of gas stations called Sheetz. A few years ago when they first opened I watched the guys installing their canopy. The used some sort of tarp or banner material.

Are you going over a existing canopy face of over a frame ??

Yes,
It was a Cenex.. so I am just going over the pre-existing metal that is already there. Just curious as to how everyone else does it.. give me some ideas. It has thin aluminum panels already there all faded out! So I just figured I would go over top of them. make it easier on myself.

We use .040 aluminum, we bend a 1" lip on the top and bottom and screw it on. That way there are not screws in the face.

Whatever method you use ... BE SURE to block off both sides of the island that you are working on!

There will be some moron looking at you doing the install ... and drive right into your ladder!

We have replace 5-6 of these. Scafolds with wheels is the only way to go.

mosh is right, last year we did locations, .040 alum. 1" fold all around, if they have rounded
corner, just notch the fold at the corners. if they are going to be white, bring along some white vinyl to go under the seams in the alum. it will hide the color underneath the alum.
in a not so perfect word the seams will not have a clean butt joint....
