What does it take to make your home look its best? For many of us, the answer involves keeping up with the latest trends in home improvement, including the latest styles of furniture, landscaping and even door canopies. That’s right – the lowly door canopy (also known as a door canopy awning) has been making its way back into vogue recently and it’s pretty easy to see why.
What is a door canopy?
A door canopy is an entrance canopy for the front door, which can provide shade and shelter when entering or exiting the home. This is especially helpful in regions with hot climates where the sun can be intense at certain times of the day. Door canopies are also used to protect against rain, snow, and other types of inclement weather. A door canopy awning (or entrance canopies) usually consists of two posts that support some type of fabric-material that covers the doorway. These two posts are anchored into the ground near each side of the entryway, and they may either span over both sides or cover only one side. Some people even choose to use outdoor curtains over their doorways for added protection from wind and precipitation. Many people use both strategies together so that if one gets torn by high winds it still provides some type of protection from rain and wind on another side; this means less tearing from the elements on one part of their house exterior (entryways).
