The Newcastle duo pitch canopy is a modular steel structure that combines contemporary detailing with the familiar form of a traditional pitched roof. Designed as a flexible canopy and walkway system, it provides reliable weather protection while complementing both new-build and existing architecture.
Its balanced roof profile and adaptable configuration make it suitable for entrance coverage, pedestrian routes and linking buildings across a wide range of public and commercial settings.

Product Details:
A Modular Double Pitched Canopy System
The Newcastle model is a true modular double pitched canopy, engineered to extend to virtually any required length. This flexibility allows specifiers to create covered walkways, entrance areas or circulation routes tailored precisely to site constraints.
Key structural characteristics include: • Symmetrical duo pitch roof design • Steel framework engineered for long-term external performance • Modular bays for extension to required length • Clean lines suited to traditional and contemporary buildings
The pitched form ensures effective rainwater dispersal to either side of the canopy, helping manage surface water around building thresholds and pedestrian areas.
Designed for Walkways and Entrances
As a versatile walkway canopy, the Newcastle structure provides continuous protection along pedestrian routes, supporting safe and comfortable access throughout the year.
Typical applications include: • School and academy walkways • Hospital and healthcare links • Office and commercial building entrances • Residential developments • Public sector and civic buildings
The canopy can also function as a substantial entrance canopy, creating a defined, welcoming threshold while protecting doorways from rain ingress.
Pitched Roof Canopy with Architectural Compatibility
The pitched roof profile allows the canopy to integrate naturally with buildings featuring traditional roof forms. This makes it particularly suitable for: • Heritage-sensitive environments • Education campuses with mixed building ages • Developments requiring continuity with surrounding architecture
The restrained steel framework supports visual compatibility without unnecessary ornamentation, ensuring the structure enhances rather than dominates the façade.
Flexible Specification Options
To meet project-specific requirements, the Newcastle duo pitch canopy can be tailored with a range of options (£POA): • Trapezoidal roof cladding (alternative finishes available) • Modular extension to suit required length • Internal lighting or solar lighting • Polyester powder coating in a wide range of colours • Full installation service
Roof cladding options allow adjustment of light transmission and aesthetic finish, while powder coating ensures alignment with corporate branding or local authority colour palettes.
Integrated lighting improves safety and usability during darker hours, particularly in winter months or on high-traffic sites.
Durability and Manufacturing Quality
Manufactured in the UK, the Newcastle canopy is produced under controlled fabrication standards to ensure structural integrity and consistency. Steel components are selected for strength and corrosion resistance, supporting long-term performance in exposed outdoor environments.
Specification considerations typically include: • Span and projection requirements • Ground conditions and foundation design • Drainage strategy around pedestrian routes • Interface with existing façades • Lighting and electrical coordination
The canopy can be installed as part of a wider external works package and is often specified alongside cycle shelters, entrance canopies and pedestrian guardrails to create cohesive site infrastructure.
The Newcastle duo pitch canopy provides a robust, adaptable and architecturally sympathetic solution for covered walkways and entrances across education, healthcare, commercial and civic environments.
