Covered Walkway Canopy
Modular Stairs, Ramps, and Canopies
Prefabricated Walkway Canopy
We manufacture and install covered walkway canopy systems to keep sidewalks dry. We will design a custom, prefabricated canopy to fit your application. Whether your canopy is for a 10’ walkway or a 500’ walkway, our engineering team has got you covered. Common applications include schools, hospitals, restaurants, parks, and university campuses.

Features
100% Aluminum – Long Lasting
The entire line of APEX walkway canopies will never rust, warp, or rot. The canopies are low maintenance and will last much longer than wood or steel.
Easy Installation
Our commercial canopies are modular and bolt together easily.
Internal Drainage System
Canopies are designed with a discreet internal gutter and drainage system to divert water away from walkways.
Reconfigurable
Because the system is modular, ramps, stairs, and railings can be reused or reconfigured as your needs change.
Multiple Color Options
We offer many color options so that your covered canopy walkway can match the aesthetics of your property.
HPD/LEED/ESG
Prefabricated systems are typically made with 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys containing ≥99% and ≥50% recycled content. Some prefabricated systems can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.
Custom Layouts
Our team of engineers will design a stair configuration layout just for you. Professional engineer stamps are available.

Modular Buildings
Upside’s canopy systems are engineered to give coverage to outdoor areas between modular offices or classrooms. They can be designed to connect directly to the modular buildings or be self-supported and overlap each modular’s roof.
How the drainage works
With a modular design, all walkway canopies have built-in gutters. Using canopy posts as downspouts, water drains from post outlets, smartly channeling water away from the walkway. An integrated deflector located in the post outlet controls the water flow.
Built with 100% industrial grade aluminum, the canopy and posts will not rust, deform or rot.
