Varikatused

Varikatused are temporary structures used to provide shelter from the elements, typically rain or sun. They are commonly employed during construction projects, outdoor events, or for temporary storage. The term "varikatused" is Estonian and translates directly to "canopies" or "awnings." These structures are usually made from fabric, metal, or plastic supported by a framework of poles or scaffolding. The primary function of a varikatus is to create a dry or shaded area, protecting people, equipment, or materials from exposure. They can range in size from small, portable units to large, complex installations covering significant areas. The design and construction of varikatused are often dictated by the intended use, duration of deployment, and environmental conditions. Safety considerations are paramount, ensuring they are securely anchored to withstand wind and other forces. In some contexts, temporary varikatused may also serve to delineate specific zones or provide a visual presence.
