Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2430207A] A canopy structure, especially for sheltering a vehicle for repair, has a support frame re-configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The structure has an expansion support, which may be a tether, to support the frame as it is manually expanded. The support frame may have telescopic posts <B>2</B> and an upper scissor linkage frame <B>3</B> forming a roof area <B>4</B>. A fabric cover <B>5</B> may extend over the roof area. The canopy may be provided with jockey wheels <B>6</B> mounted at the ground engaging ends of the support posts <B>2</B>. The wheels <B>6</B> may have brakes <B>7</B>. A ground anchor <B>11</B> is provided for securing the canopy structure. The ground anchor <B>11</B> may comprise a ground frame which in use engages the support posts <B>2</B> of the canopy and is weighted down by an item sheltered by the canopy, for example a vehicle.
