Rain protection with membrane canopies

Where rain protection is the main purpose, establish the roof extent and runoff route together. Record how people actually use entrances or steps during rain.

Follow water beyond the roof edge

Do not stop drainage drawings at the canopy edge. Check ground drainage and whether discharge affects entrances, nearby equipment or occupied areas.

  • Where are the existing drainage outlets?
  • Do people stand or walk beneath the roof edges?
