Commercial Walkway & Custom Shade Structures

The first impression of any building is the entrance.   Implementing Four Seasons free-standing shade structures to any storefront, walkway, breezeway, or wherever additional overhead protection is needed is an affordable solution to provide relief from the rain, snow, hail, and hot sun while adding a stunning architectural decorative element.

While it varies from neighborhood to neighborhood, many city planners are making it a requirement that entrances and walkways between buildings have canopies so that people waiting or transitioning from building to building are protected.

Our custom manufactured Free-Standing Shade Structures enhance any entrance or passageway, serving as an architectural feature that provides practical benefits such as protection from the weather and leading visitors to the correct entrance.   Every walkway and entrance cover we create is custom fabricated which allows us to create a free-standing structure that meets your specific needs and design specifications.

As your business expands, creating additional space can prove to be difficult, especially if the area you’re expanding into is an adjacent, disconnected building creating difficulties of moving between them in bad weather.

Our Walkway Canopy Covers are the perfect solution to link multiple buildings with covered walkways, which can include vinyl roll-up panels to have a fully enclosed external corridor.

Our custom manufactured Entrance and Walkway Canopies provide so many benefits and with the rising costs of construction, this is a great way to keep your costs low and still provide cover and safety.

LEED Certifications:

Whether it’s a new build project or are remodeling an existing structure, adding our Entrance Canopies to your commercial building may help you acquire LEED accreditations.
