Canopy Design Ideas

Canopies have many purposes- to invite, to advertise, to stimulate, and to protect. Here are a few common uses for canopies.

Restaurant and cafe canopies:

Canopies on the outside of shops, restaurants, hotels and pubs not only have the ability to create a grand entrance, but they can become the signature of your brand.

Creative canopies:

Occasionally, have the privilege of seeing some really cool and creative canopies. One example is an inflatable roof canopy. The collective known as the Overtreders. built an inflatable canopy dubbed an illuminated pillow that sits on wooden poles and is inflated by a wood stove. Picnic tables sit underneath it where guests can enjoy an outdoor meal or drink.

School canopies:

Having shaded areas on a school campus is not only a good idea, it's a necessity. It is quite common for schools to have canopies extending from the side of the building. This is also helpful for keeping the building cool in hot summer months without having to waste too much energy keeping the air conditioning on.

Of course, landscape architects can go one step further and build free-standing shelters on the premises. This is a great thing to have for conducting outdoor classes or hosting outdoor events.

There you have it, some practical and creative uses for a canopy.
