Canopies, Smoking Shelters, And Walkway Covers
Let’s define the difference between an awning and a canopy. Typically, an awning is attached to a building without any support columns.
On the other hand, a canopy utilizes columns to support all or a portion of its weight.
Canopies can be constructed of steel or aluminum framing and covered by many materials. The most frequently used covers are aluminum panels or fabric (vinyl or canvas). Coversol is highly qualified to build a custom fabric canopy from Tampa, FL, for you. We can also make aluminum covers.
Our Sales/Design staff will give you an unbiased recommendation of materials that best meet your needs.
Below are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the two most common covers:
