Truss formed of folded sheet metal

A cantilevered canopy comprising:

• a plurality of canopy modules, each module comprising:
• a plurality of truss members including one or more pairs of interconnected first and second truss members, each truss member formed of a unitary folded blank of sheet metal, each of the truss members having a vertically disposed main panel, a proximal flange, a distal flange, and a horizontal panel, said proximal and distal flanges and said horizontal panel extending perpendicularly from the main panel, the horizontal panel disposed horizontally, the proximal flange for connecting the truss member to a structure, the distal flange connecting the truss member to the proximal flange of another truss member, the horizontal panels of the truss members of each pair of interconnected truss members extending in opposite directions,
• the first truss member being supported from the structure and the second truss member being supported distally from the structure by the first truss member so that the plurality of truss members forms a truss,
• each of the plurality of canopy modules spaced apart and affixed to and collectively forming a cantilevered canopy extending from the structure.

• the first truss member being supported from the structure and the second truss member being supported distally from the structure by the first truss member so that the plurality of truss members forms a truss,
• each of the plurality of canopy modules spaced apart and extending away from the structure collectively forming a cantilevered canopy extending from the structure,
• one or more of the horizontal panels of the truss members of at least one of the plurality of canopy modules secured to the truss members of another of the canopy modules, thereby interconnecting the canopy modules, and
• the horizontal panels of each of a first plurality of the truss members extending from the main panels thereof along a top fold line, the horizontal panels of each of a second plurality of the truss members extending from the main panels thereof along a bottom fold line disposed below said top fold line, the top and bottom fold lines of each truss member disposed in a common vertical plane, such that the horizontal panels of the first and second plurality of truss members are vertically spaced apart and so that the first plurality of truss members collectively form a top surface of the canopy, and the horizontal panels of the second plurality of truss members collectively form a bottom surface below the top surface.
