Aluminum Awnings & Canopies

Pre-assembled aluminum canopy systems engineered for commercial construction — from standard prefab sizes to fully custom builds.

Engineered for commercial performance

Vestis designs and manufactures aluminum canopy systems for commercial, multi-family, and institutional buildings across the United States. Every canopy ships pre-assembled — no field welding required. Bolt-on installation means your crew spends less time onsite and more time moving to the next phase.

Choose pre-designed standard sizes for the fastest turnaround, or go fully custom when your project calls for unique dimensions, structural loads, or design requirements. All systems are built from lightweight, rust-resistant extruded aluminum with powder-coat finishes in custom RAL and Akzo Nobel color matching. PE-stamped structural drawings are available on request for permitting.
