Canopies
Our canopies and awnings feature modular components that easily bolt together, eliminating custom fabrication, code compliance issues, and time-consuming engineering. APEX simplifies your project and saves you time and money. Weather-resistant aluminum can be reconfigured to adapt to changing applications and ensure the industry’s longest service life.

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.
