AGATE - Engineered Steel Flightline Canopies
Agate manufactures and installs aircraft shade canopies on flightline parking aprons. Park your aircraft under our canopies and conserve expensive paint coatings, transparencies, wiring and interior appointments. Our canopies are constructed of high-quality U.S. made steel. We offer sunscreen roofs for drier climates, or for regions with heavy rain or snow we offer metal roofs. Our canopies are bolted together so that you can easily remove and relocate them. We design your canopy to withstand wind speeds that meet the needs and requirements of your area. The steel structure is guaranteed for 20 years.
