Longer spans are possible with cable or truss support, but they require a heavier rear structure.<\/p>\n<h3>Will the roof shade the pitch too much?<\/h3>\n<p>The geometry and orientation are checked against the sun path. A good roof shades the seating without covering the playing surface at critical times.<\/p>\n<h3>Can a roof be added to an existing stand?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The stand structure, foundations and seating rake are surveyed first, and the roof is designed around the available column positions.<\/p>\n<h2>Discutez d'un projet similaire<\/h2>\n<p>Send the stand drawings, seating layout and required covered area.
