SKYSHADE 3700® - Aluminum Framed Canopy

EXTECH’s SKYSHADE 3700 is a versatile canopy system that accepts polycarbonate panels and glass. Designed to be self-supporting, the SKYSHADE 3700’s aluminum pressure caps and rafter extrusions allow for medium and long span conditions.

The SKYSHADE 3700 utilizes EXTECH’s unique stainless steel pin mounting system, making it incredibly easy for connection of horizontal to vertical framing. Our framing system controls leakage and condensation with integral gutters, as well as “pressure equalized” design, features which aid in water penetration control. The SKYSHADE 3700 is thermally improved, incorporating non-conductive spacers which separate the exterior framing from the interior framing.
