There's nothing more satisfying than finding a solution that's bamboozled many before you. Having said that, I'm not a genius and I'm sure I've walked away scratching my head, only to find the next guy has all the answers. LTC wasn't such an occasion.
The brief was simple, 'find us a solution to our smoking shelter problem please'. Straight off I was amused that someone, anyone in fact, would play an aerobic sport and then sit and smoke afterwards but, as an ex-smoker myself, who am I to judge. I'm just the awning guy, aren't I? The problem that my predecessors had encountered was that there was only 3 fixing points spanning a 7m area and the middle point had a drainpipe running down it meaning there was no possibility of hanging a bracket there. The building was a solid steel frame and the solution was to remove the drainpipe and install a hollow steel bracket on to the building before putting the drainpipe back - through the middle of the bracket. Et voila! a beautiful 7m long smoking shelter. Now I just need to live with the guilt attached to helping smokers partake in their dangerous pastime...
