Köln K4 d/c measures 4,195 mm in width, 2,165 mm in depth, and 2,510 mm in height. The covered floor area is 8.50 m².

Clear width 4,075 mm, clear depth 2,105 mm, clear height 2,360 mm – the clear height is the usable passage height under the roof structure.

For foundation planning, allow for 420 cm × 217 cm (W × D). The EAN of this model is 4250366533001, the article number 102001374.

Köln K4 d/c is designed for wind load zones 1 to 3. For the snow load there is a difference you should know before ordering:

• factory-welded and assembled: Sk = 1.90 kN/m²
• as a self-assembly kit: Sk = 1.45 kN/m²

1.90 kN/m² is a high value for a shelter canopy – roughly two and a half times what simple kit canopies bear. This means Köln also covers snow load zones 2 and 3 at medium altitudes. The kit version is lower at 1.45 kN/m²; in that case, check your municipality's snow load zone in accordance with DIN EN 1991-1-3.

The structure consists of round tube with a 60 mm diameter, fully welded and hot-dip galvanized.

Yes. A verified type-tested structural calculation is available for Köln K4 d/c. This is the key difference from simple kit canopies and the reason the Köln series is used in tenders and by public-sector clients.

In practical terms: the structural stability verification has already been provided and does not have to be produced project-specifically by a structural engineer. This saves time and costs during the approval procedure.

The type-tested structural calculation does not replace a building permit – whether your project requires a permit depends on the state building code. However, it does replace the structural verification within the procedure. The data sheet, tender text as a bill-of-quantities item, and the GAEB file (DA XML 3.1, X81) are available for download on this page.

Köln K4 d/c is bolted to an on-site foundation. The drilling depth is at least 100 mm and must be free of reinforcement. The design is based on normal soil conditions with 2 kg/cm² permissible soil pressure.

Three points determine a smooth installation:

• The foundation must be level, with a maximum permissible height difference of ± 5 mm.
• Do not bolt into paved or asphalt surfaces.
• No utility lines may run in the area of the ground anchoring.

If the top edge of the finished floor is 20 cm lower because the ground is paved, the posts are available extended by 20 cm. Alternatively, we supply a precast concrete foundation slab: it is laid at ground level on an on-site prepared bed of sand or gravel, has a textured surface of slip-resistance class R13, a paving joint grid of 300 × 300 mm, and already includes the structurally required reinforcement up to 15 kg/m². This eliminates the foundation work entirely.

You receive the foundation plan with the order confirmation. A longitudinal or transverse slope is not included in the standard offer; a slope adjustment is possible for an additional charge.

Both – you decide. Both versions are the same article; you make the choice in the configurator.

• Fully assembled: completely built at the manufacturer's factory, delivered and positioned by crane truck directly at the installation site.
• Kit: sensible when access is limited or when you assemble it yourself. Assembly instructions are included.

Four delivery options are available: self-collection from the factory, delivery with self-unloading by forklift or crane on site, delivery and unloading by crane truck without assembly, or delivery and unloading by crane truck including assembly and ground anchoring on site.

Note the difference in snow load: factory-assembled 1.90 kN/m², as a kit 1.45 kN/m². Before production begins, you receive a CAD plan for fine-tuning – manufacturing starts only after your approval.

The delivery time is 3 to 5 weeks from approval of the CAD plan. Köln is manufactured and welded to order, which is why it takes longer than kit series such as Leipzig or Jena.

Shipping is free – within Germany as well as to Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Even at this size, no bulky-goods or freight surcharge applies.

Clarify access before ordering: for the fully assembled version, a crane truck must be able to reach the installation site and set up its outriggers there. If that is not possible, kit delivery is the right choice.

“d/c” is the manufacturer's code for the wall configuration – it describes how far the structure is enclosed. The first letter refers to one side, the second to the other; versions such as a/b and b/a are therefore mirror images of each other. How many wall panels this actually involves is stated in the next paragraph.

Köln K4 d/c has a 4-panel rear wall and side walls on the left and right, all made of single-pane safety glass with aluminum glass holders. In total there are 11 wall elements.

How the panels are arranged in detail can be seen in the product photos on this page – one access point remains open in every version. If you need a different layout, for example a protected interior or an access door, that can be realized; just ask us.

Four materials are available to choose from, all in the same frame system with aluminum glass holders:

• Single-pane safety glass (ESG), clear and transparent – the standard version
• ESG with ceramic screen printing, motif of your choice – more opaque, plus visual protection against bird strikes
• Perforated sheet made of aluminum in the frame color – robust, well ventilated, resistant to vandalism
• Timber cladding made of Douglas fir – a warmer look, suitable for parks, schools, and residential settings

ESG is the most common choice because it keeps the structure transparent and the site visible – a safety argument at stops, schools, and on company premises. In the event of deliberate damage, ESG breaks into blunt crumbs instead of shards.

The standard color is RAL 7016 anthracite gray. The frame is also available in any RAL or DB color; the roof underside is finished as standard in RAL 9002 gray white, so that it stays bright under the roof.

The corrosion protection is built up in three stages: hot-dip galvanized, primed, and color-coated or painted with an environmentally friendly two-component paint.

This corresponds to corrosivity category C4 medium based on DIN EN ISO 12944-2 – designed for industrial atmospheres and coastal proximity with moderate salt exposure. For an outdoor canopy, this is considerably more than the usual standard and the reason the manufacturer gives a 5-year warranty on the structure.

Four options can be integrated directly into the structure:

• Green roof: modular sedum elements that can be inserted into the trapezoidal profile of the roof – often a plus point for municipal projects and compensation areas
• InLight lighting with presence detector, vandal-proof and integrated into the roof structure
• VersoVolt photovoltaic system for self-sufficient power supply of the lighting – without excavation work and without a power connection
• Precast concrete foundation slab, which eliminates the foundation work

In addition, there is the cladding of your choice and, with ESG featuring ceramic screen printing, a motif of your choice. You put together what you need in the configurator on this page.

That depends on the federal state and cannot be answered in a blanket way – the state building code is responsible, not the manufacturer.

The figure your building authority asks for first is the enclosed space. For Köln K4 d/c this is 22.8 m³ gross volume (external dimensions 420 cm × 217 cm × 251 cm), the covered area 8.50 m². Depending on the federal state, the state building codes tie the exemption from procedure of covered structures without occupancy rooms to the volume (often between 20 and 75 m³) or to the floor area. In outlying areas, the exemption usually does not apply.

A verified type-tested structural calculation is available for Köln K4 d/c. In the procedure it replaces the project-specific structural stability verification, but not the permit itself.

Regardless of this, boundary setback areas to the property line, the development plan, and local design statutes must be observed. Ask your municipality before ordering – we are not a construction consultant and cannot replace the information from the authority. You receive the documents for the enquiry from us as a PDF.

Köln K4 d/c covers 8.50 m². Depending on use, this gives you:

• 5 people at 1.8 m distance – in normal operation 8 to 17 people (calculated at 0.5 to 1 m² per person)
• a calculated 5 bicycles at 70 cm wheel spacing
• 8 bins of 120 l side by side
• 2 waste containers of 1,100 l
• 6 Euro pallets

The figures for people, bins, containers, and pallets come from the manufacturer; the bicycle count is a calculation from the clear width. Because the access remains open and the clear height is 2,360 mm, cargo bikes and equipment with excess height are also no problem.

Ja. Jedes der 11 Wandfelder von Köln K4 d/c lässt sich statt mit einer Glasscheibe mit einem Holzelement aus Douglasie ausführen. Der Aufpreis beträgt 190 € je Feld, bei 11 Feldern also 2.090 € inkl. MwSt.

Zum Vergleich: ESG mit keramischem Siebdruck kostet 60 € je Feld (660 €), Lochblech aus Aluminium in Rahmenfarbe 140 € je Feld (1.540 €). Klares ESG ist im Grundpreis enthalten.

Die Holzelemente sitzen im selben Rahmen wie die Glasscheiben und werden oben und unten mit Aluminium-Haltern am Rahmenriegel gehalten. In der Bildergalerie dieser Seite sehen Sie Köln K4 d/c als Visualisierung mit Holzverkleidung. Die Verkleidung wählen Sie im Konfigurator auf dieser Seite.
