Please describe the project specifications

Restaurant and Brewery patio canopy measuring 42' wide x 2 ' 10" high x 36' projection. Fabric is Ferrari Satin 502. Canopy includes unpainted aluminum square tubing framework with steel substructure painted black. Installed to mount at top landing level and continuing over lower/bottom patio. Includes gutters and downspouts on each side. Fabricated framework to add seasonal sidewalls in the future.


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

The canopy was fabricated to cover the top landing level and the lower bottom patio to allow for additional covered outdoor seating. They also installed lights under the canopy and have nightly entertainment. The restaurant and brewery doubled their seating capacity which has increased overall food and beverage sales.


What is unique or complex about the project?

The overall size of the canopy is unique due to the design of extending over 2 patio levels. Prior to installation, prep work and reinforced blocking had to be performed and engineered to support the loads. The restaurant is located on a busy main street that had to be closed during the entire installation. The fire and police department had to be notified and proper road signs in place.


What were the results of the project?

The restaurant and brewery doubled their seating capacity which has increased overall food and beverage sales. The client was very pleased with the aesthetic appearance of the canopy on their back patios and are looking forward to the installation of sidewall enclosure panels in the future.
