Features
100% Aluminum – Long Lasting
The entire line of APEX products will never rust, warp, or rot. All components 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
Since 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 an entryway canopy configuration layout just for you, and professional engineer stamps are available.

Pair with Stairs or Ramps
Upside’s APEX canopy is engineered to integrate seamlessly with our stair and ramp solutions. Integration offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for modular buildings and loading docks.
How the drainage works
With a modular design, all entry canopies have built-in gutters. Using canopy posts as downspouts, water drains from post outlets, smartly channeling water away from walkways. 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.
