SKYSHADE 3300®
Surface Mounted Canopy
The SKYSHADE 3300® is a surface mounted, single-glazed translucent polycarbonate industrial canopy system that utilizes an existing substructure. It is a simple system with aluminum pressure caps and shallow rafter extrusions that are designed to be placed on continuous structural rafters. The SKYSHADE 3300® provides shelter from the elements, UV screening, and impact resistance.
