How C-Channel Canopy Pricing Works
Width sets the base price
Each added 6 inches of width raises the price. At a 2 ft projection, a 4 ft canopy is $1,592, an 8 ft canopy is $3,094, and a 16 ft canopy is $5,702.
Projection multiplies the cost
Deeper coverage costs more. A 10 ft wide canopy is $3,743 at 2 ft projection, $6,749 at 4 ft, and $7,976 at 5 ft.
Pricing steps in half-foot pairs
On the price list, projections come in pairs that share a price (for example 3 ft and 2 ft 6 in both price at $5,337 on a 10 ft wide unit), so choosing the larger projection in a pair can be the better value.
Welded vs. knock-down
Welded units arrive fully assembled; knock-down kits ship compactly for on-site assembly, which helps with logistics on large commercial jobs.
