Please describe the project specifications

14.5' projection by 90' wide awning at new Cheesecake Factory location with a powder coated aluminum frame, Firesist cover with accent stripes on truss, and motorized retractable screens on perimeter allowing it to be enclosed.


What was the purpose of this project? What did the client request?

To cover and enclose large outdoor area which could expand their seating capacity and extend the seasons of use.


What is unique or complex about the project?

Spanning the 14.5 feet with minimal structure while still meeting local building codes. Structure was designed and engineered to hold lighting, fans, and heaters, along with the retractable screens on the perimeter. The site presented challenges with the building having varied mounting surface and angles along with light posts to avoid on the front edge.


What were the results of the project?

The project was a success! The awning was eye-catching and added visual appeal to the building. We have now been specified for future projects.
