Fixed cover
Useful where permanent shelter is the main outcome and roof movement offers little operational value. FASGAR FIXED is Apollo's dedicated non-louvred permanent-roof pathway.
Outdoor Living & Architecture · Comparison answer
Fixed Roof vs Retractable Roof
A fixed roof prioritises consistent cover. A retractable roof prioritises the ability to substantially open the space. The better choice depends on how the area should behave day to day.
Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Retractable cover
Useful where sun, sky and ventilation are a meaningful part of how the space will be used. FASGAR RETRACT adds motorised membrane movement, controls and a defined maintenance pathway.
