Cantilever Awning

Cantilever Awnings


Modular Stairs, Ramps, and Canopies

Prefabricated Cantilever Canopies

Upside Innovations manufactures prefabricated commercial canopies or awnings for entryways, loading areas, and building openings. Cantilever awnings easily attach to an exterior wall without column support, eliminating obstructions and improving aesthetics. Upside’s cantilever awnings also feature an internal drainage system that channels water away from entryways, loading docks, and building openings to keep them dry and safe.

Multiple Color Options

Standard color options include white and black.

We offer a wide variety of color choices in a durable powder-coated finish. This ensures that your awning matches your building’s trim or provides a bold accent, all while maintaining a long-lasting, weather-resistant surface that won’t chip or fade like traditional paint.

Whether you need an awning for a single doorway or an awning down the entire side of your building, we can design and configure a solution to meet any application.

HPD/LEED/ESG

Prefabricated systems are typically made with 6061 and 6063 aluminum alloys containing ≥99% and ≥50% recycled content.  Some prefabricated systems can help contribute to several LEED v4.1 credits and other green building rating systems.

Reconfigurable

Reconfigurable

Since the system is modular and bolts together, canopies and awnings can be reused or reconfigured as your needs change.

Loading docks

Because Upside’s APEX awning systems can be any length, they are often used for sheltering loading docks. Not only does this keep out the elements to improve safety, but they also help prevent Dock Seals from getting weathered which increases their service life.

How the drainage works

With a modular design, all awnings have built-in gutters. Using downspouts, water drains from post outlets, smartly channeling water away from entryways. An integrated deflector located in the post outlet controls the water flow.

Built with 100% industrial-grade aluminum, the canopy and posts will not rust, deform, or rot.

So easy to work with!

Upside was so easy to work with! From estimating, to product selection, and all the way to delivery, they were very responsive and easy to work with. When we need another set of stairs, we will be buying them from Upside Innovations.

Worked out great.

Everything worked out great. Thanks to your team for taking care of the details.

Leo D.

Love the quality.

What a great product to work with. Love the quality and ease of assembly!

The steps are well built.

The steps are well built and sturdy enough to handle our needs safely but yet light enough for two men to move without the use of equipment.

Matthew P.

Couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

The quality was fantastic, and they showed up quickly. From the time they were pulled off the delivery truck, the stairs were assembled, stood up, and lag bolted into the floor in under 1 hour. We really couldn’t be happier with the whole experience we have had with Upside Innovations. Plus, the stairs are much sturdier than I had even hoped for. Below is a picture of the steps installed on the side of our gun range. Thanks again for the great job.

Upside Innovations was a pleasure to work with from design to delivery.

Nick Bishop was responsive and quick to get a quote started, and Tish Carroll did an excellent job shepherding the job through the engineering design, fabrication, and shipping stages, expediting the process when the deadlines got tighter on my end. The product arrived early and was a pleasure to install – all of the hardware clearly marked and bagged, and the pallet strapped and wrapped securely. These stairs are being used for robotics research/testing and are working flawlessly. I would recommend Upside to anyone looking for professional crossover stairs for their project or building.
