Entrance Canopies, Walkway Covers, Restaurant Canopies
A canopy is an awning supported by posts at the front and is available in every awning shape. Building owners and managers can create a dramatic entrance by extending an awning to cover stairways and walkways. We have generations of experience with restaurant canopies, hotel canopies and canopies for apartment buildings. All work is made-to-measure and built in San Francisco.
Brass poles support this barrel-shaped canopy with dome front. The horizontal white stripe is on a fixed valance which can enhance any awning shape.
This San Francisco canopy is the half round style with a dome front and brass poles. The horizontal stripes and building number are on a fixed valance. Elegant San Francisco entrance canopies shield residents and visitors from winter rain and summer sun.
Business names and logos can be highlighted in many styles ranging from simple lettering as on the canopy at right, or dramatic cutouts with contrast fabric. We can do metallic letters on deep, jewel-tone valances. In fact, we can work with any CAD design file to make a distinctive entrance canopy for your business.
The canopy can have an additional loose valance below the fixed valance. We recommend a fixed valance on canopies to eliminate frame sag between the building and front posts.
The solid color and restrained white stripe create a formal look appropriate to the city. The dome shape echoes the graceful curve of the tall San Francisco entryway. Tim McGill brings generations of experience to awning and canopy design. There is no charge for an estimate for a new or re-covered canopy or awning.

Restaurant Deck Canopies
The outdoor deck at the Franciscan Restaurant on the waterfront has a great view but is exposed to sun, wind and salt spray, which limited its use. By adding a canopy, enough shade was created so the deck can be used during lunch, creating an exceptional dining experience. At night, the canopy keeps guests comfortable by retaining the warmth from outdoor heaters. Adding railing curtains helps control the wind on those brilliant but gusty San Francisco days and helps keep the glassware on the table. We can transform your deck or patio to create a comfortable space for entertaining for most of the year.

Restaurant Entrance Canopy
Many beautiful waterfront locations experience gusty winds and driving rain. Tim McGill created this weatherproof entrance vestibule to work with the restaurant entrance canopy for The Dead Fish Restaurant in Crockett, CA. It can be zipped off in calm weather and replaced quickly when the weather turns bad.
The striped fabric communicates the easy informality of the restaurant. Newer fabrics allow a hotel or restaurant canopy to be backlit to increase visibility and draw the eye to the business name and logo. Tim McGill will help you select the right fabric to create the visual impact you want for your business.
