The Lighted Canopy Offers an Illuminated Approach to Metal Building Protection

Keep the area around your metal buildings safer, your systems and structures healthy — and your people protected against snow, rain and other elements — with Metallic Products’ lighted canopies. An elevated version of our personnel door canopies, these steel building accessories improve their surroundings with little to no ongoing maintenance required.

Wet-rated LEDs provide 50,000+ hours of light while keeping energy usage to a minimum. Meanwhile, they support your green building efforts with ENERGY STAR-certified luminaires that are free of mercury and lead.

As with our traditional door canopies, well-placed lighted canopies can reduce the amount of solar radiation entering your building through door and window glass, keeping indoor temperatures cooler and placing less stress on HVAC systems. When located above outdoor cooling units, they also protect systems against unnecessary wear, extending their overall lifespan.

With a wide range of colors and finishes to suit your unique structure — and both single- and double-door options available — there’s a lighted canopy for every steel building. Curious about our other building canopy options? Metallic Products offers traditional personnel door canopies, corner canopies, ice shield canopies — and retrofit lighting kits, too.

Lighted Canopies: Full Details & Specs

Load Specifications

Wind loads shown are uniform loads on a 4′- 6″ wide canopy with 2 braces.

Wind loads calculated per ASCE 7-16 Section 30.11, using net pressure coefficients on attached canopies considering contributions from upper and lower surfaces.

Topographic factor, Kzt = 1.0
Wind directionality factor, Kd = 0.85
Ground elevation factor, Ke = 1.0
Mean canopy height, hc:
- Max 60′ above ground for 4′ Projection, Exposure — B
- Max 53′ above ground for 4′ Projection, Exposure — C
- Max 53′ above ground for 5′ Projection, Exposure — B
- Max 30′ above ground for 5′ Projection, Exposure — C
Mean building eave height, he:
- Max 60′ above ground for 4′ & 5′ Projections, Exposures — B & C

Snow loads shown are uniform loads on a 4′-6″ wide canopy with 2 braces. Snow loads shall be determined by engineer utilizing applicable codes and project-specific design criteria.

Depending on canopy width (10’-0” maximum), up to four hangers may be required per canopy section to achieve wind and snow loads.

NOTE: For more stringent loading requirements, custom engineering analysis is available upon request.

Use our Canopy Calculator to generate specifications based on load data, building codes, risk categories and building dimensions.
