Covered walkways are outdoor passageways with structures that provide overhead protection. These walkways help define access routes, provide protection from the elements, and create a safe working environment.
From shaded boulevards to weather-protected passageways, VPS covered walkway structures provide pedestrians and travelers with overhead weather protection in places from parking lots, garages and office complexes to airport and transportation terminals, ConRACs, and more. We also offer a variety of fabrics to meet your specific project and budget requirements.
Industry Uses for Covered Walkway Canopies
Covered walkway canopies create connectivity and an integrated look and feel for buildings. These structures allow for flexible configurations to make permanent structures for businesses in a wide variety of industries, including:
- Schools: Covered walkways for schools and other educational institutions help direct traffic and reduce safety risks by creating connections to gymnasiums, auditoriums, and break and lunch areas.
- Businesses: Encourage your customers to browse your shop with storefront coverage for product display. Garden centers, car showrooms, restaurant entrances, or other retail places can take advantage of the added protection to their inventory and encourage more customers to browse their shops with storefront walkway canopies.
- Hospitals: Protect primary caregivers and patients from slips and falls as they use the walkways between your buildings. Covered walkway canopy systems can help keep patients warm as they go from ambulances into the building.
- Places of worship: Keep congregants dry and comfortable as they attend services, holiday events, weddings, funerals, and special occasions throughout the year.
- Offices: Connect newly expanded offices to create ease of access for employees and clients. Canopy-covered walkways to the parking lot keep employees happy and protected as unexpected weather changes arise.
- Residences: Covered walkways for apartment complexes or condos can increase accessibility and visual appeal.
- Airports: Covered walkways at airports make moving around more comfortable and convenient, whether between terminals or from a terminal to the parking lot. They keep travelers and their luggage shaded and dry.
