GENERAL CLASSIFICATION OF AWNINGS

Canopies with box: This is the mechanism that covers the canvas with an aluminum enclosure hermetically closed when it is collected, in such a way that it provides a greater protection of the tarpaulin, preserving it of the dust, the contamination, the sun and the rain during more weather.
