collapsable canopy

burlap was used for the canopy covering, some sheets of ply were also covered with burlap for aesthetics. a waterproof underlayer can also be used along with the burlap to help protect the plywood against moisture

The canopy was built to be collapsable to fold flat and be transported easily. it is built with a PVC skeleton and a burlap skin to stretch over it.

1� and 1.5� pvc pipes were used for the framing of the canopy

the frame was also built to accommodate a banner that could be used to identify the kiosk and serve as an area to hold a menu/price list

the frame of each unit is constructed from 3/4� plywood. Butt Joints are used to join them

hook to hang banner

currugated zinc sheets were used for cladding. In the insulated kiosk a sandwich of zinc and shredded newspapers were used as the insulation envelope.

the base of the kiosk is the main connecting feature. the presence of casters help to make the base and kiosk mobile. a smaller base can be used for the individual kiosk partitions and custom bases can be used to fix the kiosk to other items such as a motorcycle.
