This is one of the most common questions that we receive. The first step is measuring the canopy frame dimensions.

The next step is determining the angle of pitch for the roof rafters. The angle can be broken down into three common categories Flat Roof, Low Peak and High Peak. Flat roof canopies have an angle of 90 degrees. Low peak canopies have an angle of 102 degrees and are slightly raised in appearance at the roofline. High peak canopies, also referred to as A-frame canopies due to their shape, have an angle of 120 degrees. The high peak canopy is the most commonly sold frame on the market.
