A canopy is a structure which has a metal or a fabric covering attached, generally they do not have a floor. Entrance canopies are designed to go over entryways of buildings to provide shelter from the elements, and for aesthetic value.

Sometimes entrance canopies can be installed mainly for aesthetic purposes, in order to create a good first impression for a business or property. Curved steel is sometimes used for this which acts to create a stylish product that is nevertheless cost-effective.
