ZIP-RIB Canopy Systems

Zip-Rib Free-Span Canopies;

Another Designers Choice

Since 1964, ZIP-RIB has set the standard for high-performance standing seam metal roofing. Now, ZIP-RIB offers designers yet another design solution for canopy designs using fewer structural steel members.

Building on the strength achieved by radiused ZIP-RIB roof panels, it is possible to either greatly reduce or eliminate the need for curved rafters and/or purlins in certain canopy applications. Free-Span canopies can be safely designed to spans of 16 feet without intermediate purlins.

Wider spanning canopy designs can be accomplished with reduced framing requirements since ZIP-RIB can be utilized on open purlin designs to 10 feet. Challenge Merchant & Evans' in-house engineering staff on your next canopy design.
