Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
CANTILEVER CAR PORT CANOPY
A car port canopy comprises stepped sheeting supported upon a number of spaced apart cantilever beams, each having one end securable to a wall.
The beams are tapered from their ends secured to the wall by provision of successive steps in their upper surfaces corresponding to the profile of the sheeting. The resulting assembly, which does not have vertical supports, is strong enough to bear the weight of a person.

Description
94~36 r`lRR181285 - 1 -CANTILEVER CAR PORT CANOPY
This invention relates to a cantilever ca. port canopy.
Car ports are a recognised means of keeping vehicles under cover. They are normally constructed of a timber frame supported on poles and secured to a wall and covered by plastics~sheeting.
Most car ports require some vertical support at one side thereby narrowing the drlveway and restricting their use by wlde. vehicles.
10~ It is an~object of the présent invention to provide a ca~r~port aanopy whlch~needs no vertical supports yet whlch~is st.ong enough~to support a pezson on top to do maintenance wo~k (on a scaffola board) on a building to #

With this object in view, the p~esent lnvention p~ovides a cantilever car port canopy comp~ising stepped sheeting supported upon a numbe_ of spaced apart beams each having one end securable to a wall, the beams being tapered from said one end by provision of successive steps in their upper su.faces corresponding to the profile of the sheetlng.
The r~sers or ~teps in the ~heeting impart strength to the sbeeting for the span between respective beams 80 that with the aid of a crawler ~; board a person may be supported above the sheeting :,: :
~ without breaking the sheeting or the beams.
