A double-sided canopy in the courtyard

This double-sided tie-rod supported membrane carport occupies an open part of a courtyard in Zhongmu County, Zhengzhou. White columns follow a central axis, with roof sections projecting to each side. Upper tie rods connect to the opposing beam ends, while transverse and longitudinal members repeat below the membrane.

The canopy stands near a building and a railed boundary wall. Grey paving extends around the column bases, with inspection covers and unfinished edges still visible. White framing and a light membrane define the covered areas on either side of the central columns.

The wall-side canopy projects into the courtyard, with another canopy visible at the far end.

A single-row canopy along the courtyard edge

Another tie-rod supported row follows the boundary wall within the same courtyard. Its rear columns stand beside trees and an equipment cabinet, with the membrane projecting into the courtyard. White framing and a light membrane echo the double-sided canopy, but this row covers the boundary strip in one direction. Materials and unfinished ground areas remain below.
