The 35m long mono-pitched structure is manufactured from aluminium powder coated dark grey (RAL 7037). Aluminium is an ideal choice in this application as it won’t rust if it gets the odd knock from a suitcase, neither will it require painting again, so an annual wash down means it will keep its good looks for years. Twinfix Multi-Link-Panels glazed with 25mm clear multiwall polycarbonate were used for the roof. These panels meet the non-fragile requirements outlined in ACR[M]001:2014. Main Contractors for the project, Cambrianway Ltd of Wallasey, approached Twinfix in November last year, looking for installation in December.
