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

FASGAR Technical Centre
Fixed and retractable roof data, separated from the claims that still need proof.
The current technical centre records the manufacturer data Apollo can use for project planning now while keeping wind, fire, structural, membrane and warranty claims controlled until the underlying documents are received.

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.

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

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.
Independent structureBuilding-supported edgeExisting-frame interfaceProject-specific fixing
Permanent aluminium shelter.
Best where consistent overhead protection and architectural permanence matter more than opening the roof.
Open FIXEDMotorised fabric flexibility.
Best where the project needs overhead shelter that can retract to recover an open-sky condition.

Options we can plan now
Useful choices already supported without inventing missing technical data.
Current hero and primary FASGAR FIXED reference; related fixed-roof configurations remain project-selected.
Final fixing and support interfaces remain project-specific.
Exact driver, control and electrical configuration remain project-confirmed.
Current product reference; motor specification, IP rating and integration are confirmed for the selected configuration.
Current published pathway.
VELARIS Outdoor Blind Systems provide the dedicated side-screen pathway.
Other colours/finishes require project confirmation.
Final voltage/frequency and electrical installation are destination-specific.

Evidence still required
Claims Apollo will not overstate.
Obtain controlled wind, snow and structural loading documents for the exact FIXED configuration before publishing performance promises.
Confirm the maximum wind condition for safe normal operation and the required retract/stow protocol.
Obtain a separately documented survival/structural wind limit with test or engineering basis.
Obtain current membrane fire classification and the exact standard/test report.
Obtain UV-weathering evidence, expected service conditions and maintenance requirements.
Obtain the actual membrane warranty, exclusions and environmental limits.
Confirm manufacturer, model, IP rating, voltage/frequency and control integration options.
Obtain litres/minute or rainfall-intensity design capacity for current gutter/post combinations.
Confirm pretreatment, coating build-up, film thickness, maintenance and warranty by exposure class.
Obtain the controlled warranty document behind the current 10-year FIXED frame listing before Apollo quotes it as a project warranty.
Technical project review
Need a project-specific roof specification?
Send the site, dimensions, roof intent and exposure. Apollo will request the exact drawings, structure, membrane, motor, coating and evidence pack required for that configuration.
