While they may not be common to see, when you get to experience the benefits of a walkway cover, you understand why so many like them. They not only provide additional protection for users to stay out of the rain, snow, or intense sunlight, but they can also extend the life of the materials used for the walkway path, which is often concrete. MASA Architectural Canopies has helped design and build many walkway covers for different organizations and businesses. These take on many different forms, from freestanding structures that provide a covering from a main building to a parking facility, to large entrance covers that are large enough to drive under, as well as small awnings on buildings that stretch over the sidewalks and provide shade and protection. You see them on college campuses, hospital facilities, industrial settings, and even public settings such as parks and outdoor pavilions.

Enhancing The Experience
Imagine pulling up to your place of work and parking, only to realize that you have to run through the heavy rain just to get to the entrance door. With walkway covers over the sidewalks from the parking lot, you will only have to get a little damp and then can walk normally under the walkway cover to the entrance door. Or if you are on a college campus going from one building to another, those covered walkways are handy to keep the elements away so you can make your next class while staying dry.
Walkway covers enhance the experience for everyone that comes to your location. Even if they are attached to a building, they can create covered space for walking as well as providing areas for seating to enjoy the nice weather. Covered walkways can also be a great enhancement for warehouses to provide shelter for drivers as they come in to check on loads and more.
Ideal For Both Public and Private Property
While some walkway covers are designed as awnings or canopies, there are others that are designed as free-standing structures. The free-standing options are seen around transit stations, parks, or other public locations. In all cases they provide the same benefits no matter where they are, and often lighting is added underneath so that when it is being used at night people can see where they are going. They make great additions to any public or private property.
From retrofitting an existing building or campus, to being incorporated from the ground up in new construction, walkway covers can provide many benefits to a wide range of people, as well as to the infrastructure it is being erected over or against. MASA Architectural Canopies provides nearly 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing aluminum walkways covers for many different needs. Contact us today to learn more.
