Abstract
A terrace canopy comprising a column and a beam (5), the beam being supported by the column (70) at a position between its ends and the beam, at that location, having a recess (100) such that two to facing ends (103, 104) are present in the beam. Fastening means in the form of headboards (60) are provided between the ends of the beam and the column for attaching the beam to the column. The headboards each form a fastening element without a folding line, which creates a stronger connection between the column and the beam.
Claims14
A terrace canopy comprising:
- a column;
- a beam extending between a first end and a second end, wherein the beam is supported by the column at a location between said ends and wherein the beam, at said location, is provided with a recess, which recess divides the beam into a first and a second beam portion, wherein the first beam portion extends between the first end and a third end and the second beam portion extends between the second end and a fourth end, wherein the recess is located between the third end and the fourth end;
- and
- fastening means between the beam and the column for securing the beam to the column, the fastening means comprising:
- a first headboard secured onto said third end and onto said column;
- and
- a second headboard secured onto said fourth end and onto said column,
- wherein the beam comprises a continuous profile, and
- wherein a part of the continuous profile is uninterrupted over an entire length of the beam.
