Canopy Installation & Replacement

Is a Canopy right for you this summer?

As warmer weather slowly makes its way back around the globe, we eagerly set to planning for summer barbecues and lazy afternoons spent with family and friends. But these long-awaited summer days come with harmful UV rays and the threat of skin damage. These concerns have long been keeping us from enjoying the most of a beautiful summer day, fearful of unseen dangers.

However, this doesn’t have to be the case. No matter the occasion, a canopy can be there to protect you and your loved ones from the harsh sun and sudden rain, allowing you to enjoy your summer to the fullest extent.

The difference between an Awning and a Canopy

Unlike an awning, a canopy is composed of a freestanding frame, supported by four posts, sheltering a large area from sun and rain. Canopies are equipped with sloped roofs to allow easy drainage and prevent pooling that could lead to mold and mildew issues. Typically, canopies and awnings use similar fabrics, such as Polyester, Vinyl, and Polyethylene materials for the canopy itself.

The true difference between a canopy and an awning lies in the frame. Whereas awnings are bolted to the side of a home or business, a canopy’s fame is usually secured to the ground with pegs or pins that are driven into the soil. There are choices for framing material depending on your needs, with Aluminum and Steel being the most common choices. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks, so these types of considerations should be taken up with a trusted professional who can guide you to the best possible product.

Canopies can also be outfitted with accessories such as mesh or polyester sidewalls to keep the bugs away, custom logos or graphics for sports events and business opportunities, and cupholders that can be fitted to the support poles of the canopy itself.
