Leeds Walkway canopy Design and Install
The reason to spec a proper commercial walkway rather than a domestic-scale cover is engineering. prevailing south-westerlies funnel rain up the Aire valley — a covered patio earns its keep from October onward, and a covered public route has to handle wind and snow loads a residential product doesn't see.
