Benefits of a Walkway Canopy

A tensile fabric walkway structure can be a flexible and cost-effective way to provide all-weather protection with a strong aesthetic look and is ideal for joining two buildings which are a long way apart or creating a link between two buildings.

With the unpredictability of the weather these days, a walkway canopy is a great investment to help keep your customers, guests, staff or students dry and protected from the elements.  

Keep your customers dry and shaded

A walkway fabric structure is one of the best ways to provide all-weather protection for people entering and exiting or walking between a building or buildings. It will keep customers or staff dry on all those wetter days, and shaded from the glare of the sun and harmful UV rays on all those hotter days.

They are ideal for joining two buildings which are a distance apart or creating a link between two buildings. Having a modular structure enables you to follow a straight, curved or wave form depending on your required route, or even snake them around existing trees!

Open up your site

As a site expands over time, facilities can become detached from their surrounding buildings. A walkway canopy can essentially become a covered corridor to keep everyone beneath it dry whilst walking from building to building or car park to building. As well as offering year-round protection from the elements, it will enhance the overall appearance of the area.

Walkway structures can be free standing or wall mounted to best suit your situation and space, providing a seamless connection between two external environments. They can also be combined with up lighting.

Walkway canopies are ideal for:

• Car parks
• Linking ANY buildings
• Anywhere where customers may have to queue or wait

They can be a popular solution for many environments including: 

• Schools, colleges and universities
• Airports and railway stations
• Shopping centres
• Care homes
• Hospitals
• Hotels
• Leisure attractions
• Garden centres
