Garage canopy and the vehicle path

The draft says the projection follows the vehicle path. The path is a drawing, not a guess at the ramp.

Entrances, gatehouses, and garage canopies

Entrances, gatehouses, and garage canopies

Gatehouses, unit entrance portals, and garage-entry canopies for large residential plots.

Width at the throat

The canopy has to cover the lane that actually turns, including the outside wheel. Send the ramp plan with the lane width and the height limit already signed by the garage designer.

Separate from the unit portal

A garage canopy and a unit entrance portal meet residents in different places. Taicang lists both, and Shanghai Songnan lists a gatehouse canopy. Keep the quantities apart.

Height bar and lighting

A garage mouth usually has a height-limit bar and lights under the canopy. Say whether they are in this steel package or in the electrical and traffic package. The clear height must be measured below those fittings, not only below the beam.
