Metal Canopies

Metal canopies offer the best weather protection level while being sturdy and durable enough to last for many years. While they are pricer to buy and install, they are an investment that provides long-term shade and shelter.

Metal canopy systems are on the more expensive end of the price spectrum when it comes to shade products, but their durability and high level of protection make them a solid investment for homes and businesses.

A suspended canopy is supported by cables or poles anchored to a facade rather than by posts sunk into the ground. This gives a suspended canopy an impressive appearance while also increasing the amount of usable space below. What separates a suspended canopy from an awning is that this kind of canopy is usually flat and made from a solid material such as metal, while an awning is most often slanted and made from fabric.

Generally, a canopy is a freestanding structure with a cover supported by posts or poles, while an awning is attached to a facade or other wall along one of its sides. An awning is often retractable to free up space when it isn’t needed for shade or shelter. However, the terms canopy and awning are often used interchangeably.
