A walkway canopy is a way to help people get from one building to another on your property. It can also be a beautiful addition to your design. It can help improve the comfort of those who visit your business or organization, and it can even make a better impression on customers.

When designing a walkway canopy, there are several factors to consider. These include the structural layout, decking system and integration of specialty features. A well-designed aluminum walkway cover will be long-lasting, durable and visually appealing. It will be able to withstand large snow and wind loads. It can also be fabricated with different colors and finishes, allowing you to customize the design to fit your needs.

Navigating Campus Comfortably: The Importance of Walkway Canopies

The most common type of walkway canopy is an extruded aluminum structure. It consists of columns capped with curved beams to which the canopy deck is attached. The deck is usually sloped. Water carried by the deck falls to the low point of the curved beam and is routed back through the canopy columns via tube struts/kickers, smartly channeling rainwater away from the walkway cover and on to grade or into an underground site drain system. Fascia is used to hide the deck on all sides of the canopy.

Using a walkway canopy is an ideal solution for projects that require a protected path between buildings on your campus or facility. It can be installed on the ground level or above a stair system, and it will provide a weather-protected space for pedestrians.
