Modular canopy system and method of assembly

Abstract

A modular canopy system for installation on a supporting surface, the system comprising: a. a centre plate comprising i. a canopy surface; ii. a first substantially planar securing surface extending at an acute angle from the canopy surface, wherein the canopy surface and the securing surface define a first securing portion at a first end of the canopy surface and a second securing portion at an opposing second end of the canopy surface; and b. first and second securing plates, each securing plate comprising i. a substantially planar surface; ii. a canopy engagement portion extending from the planar surface, the canopy engagement portion defining a receiving slot for receiving at least a portion of a respective first or second securing portion therein; and iii. a second substantially planar securing surface extending from the planar surface at an acute angle relative to the canopy engagement portion, wherein, when the first and second securing portions are receivable within the receiving slots of respective first and second securing plates such that the first and second securing surfaces extend along a common plane. The present invention also provide a method of assembly of such a modular canopy system.
