Double-Sided Industrial Membrane Carports in Zhongmu, Zhengzhou

Parallel rows of white membrane carports cover parking strips in an industrial yard in Zhongmu. Aisles run between the roofs, while ground work and stored materials remain visible.

Rows of white membrane roofs extend to both sides of their supports, with longitudinal aisles between them. Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou, Henan, China

Canopy rows alongside internal aisles

At this industrial-yard project in Zhongmu, Zhengzhou, Qingsong Membrane Structures arranged multiple long canopies in parallel rows. White membrane roofs extend along the site, with aisles connecting to the road in front of the factory. Narrow perimeter sections and wider central rows form a series of separate parking strips defined by paving and kerbs.

Double-sided roofs and repeated supports

The central canopy rows extend to both sides of their supports, with curved edges repeating from bay to bay. Perforated columns and branching supports are visible at the ends. Cables, materials and small vehicles remain beside the covered strips, showing a stage when the roofs are in place while work on the ground and surrounding areas continues.

Planning access with the canopy layout

For rows of industrial carports, vehicle turns, aisle junctions and building entrances need to be reviewed together. Equipment, lighting poles, drains and turning space at the ends should appear on the layout as well as the bays. Defining vehicle types and access routes early allows canopy spacing, end conditions and ground works to be coordinated.
