Engineering notes

A few things we always check — and what code references we follow.

Tieback rods are sized to resist uplift from design wind acting on the awning underside.

Wall attachments are designed for combined shear and tension load cases.

Snow load is included where applicable per the local code's ground snow load.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about awnings & canopies and engineering.

Do you include snow load calculations?+

Yes, where applicable. Snow load is calculated per the local code's ground snow load for your site location and included in the structural design.

What types of awning frames can you engineer?+

We engineer standard tieback awnings, custom-projection awnings beyond 4 ft, freestanding canopies on posts, and curved-front and dome awning configurations.

How are tieback rods sized?+

Tieback rods are sized to resist the uplift force from the design wind acting on the underside of the awning fabric or panel, plus any applicable snow load.

Can you engineer freestanding canopy structures?+

Yes. Freestanding canopies on posts get a full structural design including the frame, columns, footings, and all connections.
