STEEL CANOPY & GOODS-IN SHELTER – LIVERPOOLBespoke steel-framed canopy and covered loading shelter designed and installed for a busy warehouse in Speke.
🧩 Project Overview
CBR Commercials were commissioned to design and construct a robust steel-framed canopy and goods-in shelter at a warehouse facility in Speke, Liverpool.
The client required an all-weather solution to protect goods and staff during loading and unloading operations while maintaining unrestricted vehicle access and safety compliance.
⚙️ Scope of Works
Our in-house fabrication and site teams managed the full project lifecycle — from initial design to final installation.
The works included:
- Site survey, design drawings, and structural calculations
- Supply and installation of bespoke steel frame and support columns
- Roof cladding and side panel fabrication for weather protection
- Guttering and rainwater drainage integration
- Finishing and protective coating for long-term corrosion resistance
🧱 Challenges
The shelter had to be constructed on a live site with regular deliveries and limited space for plant access.
Precise coordination was essential to avoid disruption to operations and to meet strict safety requirements for on-site work.
💡 Our Solution
Using in-house steel fabrication capabilities, we produced custom frame sections to exact dimensions, ensuring rapid assembly once on-site.
Installation was completed within a narrow working window, with all works executed under full H&S supervision.
All steelwork was powder-coated for enhanced durability and visual finish, matching the client’s corporate colours.
🏁 Results
The new canopy provides a permanent, low-maintenance solution offering full weather protection for daily deliveries.
It has improved workflow efficiency, reduced downtime during adverse weather, and extended the lifespan of site equipment and materials.
Delivered safely, on time, and to specification, this project reflects CBR Commercials’ expertise in structural steelwork and industrial installations across the North West.
