Canopy and Building Concepts for Today and Tomorrow
Superior Canopy designs, engineers and builds:
Free-standing or integral canopies
Convenience store buildings
Kiosk buildings
Walkway covers
Building fascia systems
Canopy Features:
Anchor bolt mounted columns for stability and reduced installation costs.
Columns available in 10" and 12" square and 16" round sizes.
Decking is 80 gloss, 20 gage steel, for superior appearance and greater strength
Engineered deck clip system totally eliminates the need for visible fasteners, drilling and welding in deck installation.
Perimeter gutters on canopies are 8" wide, 20 gage steel, for maximum strength, durability and ease of cleaning.
Circular fiberglass gel coated drain collector system has color molded in. Won't chip, crack or peel. No seams so it can't leak.
Hemmed channel fascia braces for strength and handling ease.
Fascia panels utilize baked and sanded galvanized backer sheets for better adhesion and no oil contamination.
