FASGAR · system diagrams

Understand the roof logic before choosing the configuration.

These are Apollo planning diagrams, not supplier shop drawings. Final sections, spans, fixing points, motors, drainage outlets and structural details are confirmed for the selected project.

01

FIXED system anatomy

Permanent aluminium roof, perimeter structure, integrated drainage and lighting form one coordinated shelter system.

Fixed aluminium roofPerimeter beamIntegrated gutterPost drainageLighting zone
02

RETRACT movement

The membrane extends for overhead shelter and stacks back to recover a substantially open roof condition.

Weather-cover stateMotorised travelStacked membrane zoneOpen-sky area
03

RETRACT structure + water route

Membrane, rails, gutters and posts must be coordinated around the roof area and local discharge strategy.

Installation formats

Freestanding, wall-mounted and built-in/inset projects create different structural and waterproofing interfaces.

FASGAR FIXED

Permanent aluminium shelter.

Best where consistent overhead protection and architectural permanence matter more than opening the roof.

Open FIXED
FASGAR RETRACT

Motorised fabric flexibility.

Best where the project needs overhead shelter that can retract to recover an open-sky condition.

Project evidence checklist

Match the technical evidence to FIXED or RETRACT before release.

FASGAR uses two fundamentally different roof families. Project teams should match structural, membrane, drainage, electrical, finish, installation and warranty evidence to the exact quoted family and configuration rather than carrying one system's data into the other.

Evidence areaRoof-family identity

Confirm whether the order is FASGAR FIXED or FASGAR RETRACT, then use the corresponding current profile, roof and accessory schedule.
Fixed aluminium-roof data and retractable fabric-roof data are not interchangeable.

Evidence areaStructural basis

Match current engineering calculations or test evidence to the selected width, projection, post/rail layout, fixings and project loads.
Wind, snow, substrate, foundations and local structural requirements remain project-specific.

Evidence areaMembrane evidence · RETRACT

Confirm the exact PVC membrane construction, mass/thickness, finish and any applicable fire/weather evidence for the quoted membrane.
A membrane property or certificate should not be extended to another fabric, colour or build-up unless it is within the documented scope.

Evidence areaWater management

Confirm gutter sizes, roof fall/geometry, outlet positions and final site discharge route for the selected configuration.
Rainfall intensity, projection, outlet strategy and local thresholds can change the required drainage design.

Evidence areaMotor + controls · RETRACT

Confirm the exact motor, voltage/frequency, controller, remote zoning, ingress rating and any sensor/app integration supplied.
The published 110 V / 230 V pathway does not by itself establish destination electrical compliance.

Evidence areaLighting + electrical

Confirm LED type, colour pathway, drivers, switching/control and local electrical interfaces for FIXED or RETRACT.
Lighting and motor circuits should be coordinated with the final roof and destination electrical requirements.

Evidence areaFinish + exposure

Confirm aluminium finish, frame colour, hardware, membrane colour and maintenance requirements for coastal, high-UV or high-rainfall exposure.
Finish selection and warranty conditions should follow the actual environment rather than a generic colour choice.

Evidence areaInstallation + warranty

Use current installation, commissioning, maintenance and warranty information plus released shop drawings and packing schedule.
Local foundations, electrical connection, drainage discharge, lifting, assembly and approvals remain separately defined.
