Roof Sheds, Courtyard Covers and Canopies in Okhla
Okhla units use sheds to turn open space into working space: a covered roof for drying or storage, a courtyard cover for loading, a parking shed for staff two-wheelers and a glass canopy on converted offices. Heat under the sheet is the main design question. All sheds are quoted after a site visit.
Sheds in Okhla Industrial Area are less about shade and more about square feet. Plots across Phases I, II and III are fully built, so the open roof, the side setback and the front courtyard are the only places left to grow. A cover over any of them turns weather-dependent space into space that can be used every day of the year, for drying printed fabric, staging cartons, parking or a canteen.
Four places a shed earns its keep
| Style | Why it suits Okhla | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Polycarbonate terrace shed | Turns a factory roof into a dry store, drying area or canteen | Quoted after visit |
| Car parking shed | Staff two-wheelers and company vans in the setback or courtyard | Quoted after visit |
| Glass canopy | Entrance cover for Phase III plots run as offices | Quoted after visit |
| MS pergola | A shaded break area that does not count as covered space | Quoted after visit |
Heat under the sheet
A roof-top shed in May traps heat, and workers under it notice. Clear polycarbonate sheet lets in the most light and the most heat; opal or heat-reflective sheet cuts both. Metal profile sheet is cooler with insulation but darker. For a work area, the usual answer is a mix: a few translucent sheets in a metal roof for daylight, a generous height for hot air to rise, and open sides or ridge ventilation so the heat can escape. Compare the trade-offs in the car parking shed options guide, which covers sheet types too.
Spans that do not sag
Industrial owners often want wide spans with few columns so vans and trolleys can move freely. Wider spans need deeper rafters or a truss; under-designed purlins are why a roof starts to dip between supports, as shed roof sagging explains. In a courtyard used for loading, columns are placed where trucks will not clip them, and protected at the base.
Water off the roof
A covered roof gathers a lot of water in a monsoon downpour. Gutters must be sized for it and downpipes taken to the plot's drain, not left to spill onto a neighbour or the road; shed gutter overflowing shows what happens otherwise. Sheets must be fixed with sealed washers and allowance for expansion, because a sheet that cannot move in the heat will crack at the screws; polycarbonate sheet cracked explains why.
Steel for an industrial setting
Frames in dye houses and near wash areas face moisture and fumes. Hot-dip galvanising under paint gives the longest life on exposed members; primer and enamel is the minimum elsewhere.
Before you book
- A roof shed may count as added covered area; check with your architect or the estate authority.
- Confirm the roof slab and the columns below can take the new frame; we look at the structure at the visit.
- Plan erection around production, especially if the shed goes over a loading area in daily use.
The ₹99 visit is usually within 24 to 48 hours of booking. A written, all-inclusive quote follows within about 2 hours and is valid for 3 days. Fabrication begins after a 50% advance, and the remaining half is paid on completion. The terrace shed cost guide explains the main price factors.

Common questions
Which sheet keeps a factory roof shed cooler?
Opal or heat-reflective polycarbonate is cooler than clear sheet; insulated metal sheet is cooler still but darker. Height and ventilation matter as much as the sheet: hot air needs space to rise and a way out. We suggest a mix of sheet types at the visit depending on how the space is used.
Can a shed be built over our courtyard used for loading?
Yes, with columns placed where trucks will not hit them and a span wide enough for vehicles to turn. Clear height must allow for the tallest truck or tempo. Gutters and downpipes are planned to the plot drain. We measure vehicle movement at the visit before designing.
Factory ki chhat par shed ke liye permission chahiye?
Possibly. A roof shed can count as added covered area, so check with your architect or the authority that governs your estate before building. We design and fabricate the structure; approvals are for the plot owner to confirm before fabrication begins.
How much does an industrial shed cost in Okhla?
There is no fixed rate. The price depends on the area, the span, the frame and purlin sections, the sheet type, gutters and any galvanising. After the ₹99 site visit we send a written, all-inclusive quote, valid for 3 days.
