Half-foot sizes are priced in the same steps. A half-foot projection (2'6", 3'6", 4'6") is priced the same as the next whole-foot projection up, so choosing 2'6" costs the same as 3'.
What Drives Cantilever Canopy Cost?
Width Is the Biggest Factor
Each additional 2 feet of width adds roughly $600 to $700 at a given projection. A 4' x 3' unit is $2,548, while a 12' x 3' unit is $5,214.
Projection Adds Less Than Width
Going from 2' to 5' projection on a 6' wide canopy adds $1,236 ($2,787 to $4,023). Match projection to the area you need to cover, not more.
Welded vs. Knock-Down
A fully welded unit arrives ready to install; a knock-down kit ships disassembled and is easier to freight and move through tight access. Fully assembled systems ship crated by freight carrier, with liftgate service available on request.
Finish: Powder Coat or Wood Grain
Every unit is powder coated inside and out in hundreds of colors. For a wood look, ARCHEX USA wood grain sublimation is applied in-house in Tampa.
Cantilever vs. Other Canopy Options
Compared with a post-supported or arm-supported canopy, the Cantilever Series gives clear, unobstructed space beneath, which matters for storefront entries, drive-throughs, and pickup lanes. See our guides to the G-Gutter canopy and standing seam awnings if a hanger-rod or sloped-roof style fits your building better.
Who Is the Cantilever Canopy Best For?
- Businesses that want a clean storefront or entry canopy with no posts in the doorway
- Drive-through and pickup lanes that need overhead cover with open space below
- Offices, retail, multi-family, and hospitality properties upgrading a facade
- Homeowners who want a modern, arm-free entry or window canopy
- Florida property owners who need heat, UV, humidity, and heavy-rain durability
How to Order
- Measure the wall area and choose a width (4'–16') and projection (2'–5').

- Choose fully welded or knock-down kit.
- Pick a powder coat color or wood grain finish.
- Add to cart, or call 1-800-AWNINGS (296-4647) for a custom size.

Cantilever Canopy Price FAQ
How much does a cantilever canopy cost?
The Cantilever Series starts at $2,188 for a 4' wide, 2' projection unit and goes up to $8,043 for a 16' wide unit with 4'6" or 5' projection. A popular 8' x 4' size is $4,322.
How does a cantilever canopy mount without posts?
Concealed structural brackets anchored to the building wall carry the full load, so there are no front posts or overhead arms. Proper anchoring into solid wall framing or masonry is essential.
Can I get a wood grain finish?
Yes. ARCHEX USA wood grain sublimation is available as a premium finish, along with hundreds of powder coat colors.
What sizes are available?
Widths from 4' to 16' in 6" increments and projections from 2' to 5' in 6" increments, all with an 8" fascia. That totals 175 combinations, and custom sizes are available.
Does it handle Florida rain?
Yes. An integrated drainage system with a built-in scupper (or optional downspout) channels water away from the area below.
How long does it take to get one?
Lead time is normally 2–3 weeks from purchase, depending on order quantity. Fully assembled or larger custom items can take longer.
Can I return a custom canopy?
No. Custom orders are final sale, with no returns, exchanges, or cancellations once confirmed, so double-check your measurements before ordering.
How is it shipped?
It ships from Tampa. Knock-down kits go by standard freight with assembly instructions; assembled units are crated and sent by freight carrier. Report any damage within 24 hours of delivery.
The Bottom Line
The Cantilever Series is the right choice when you want overhead protection with nothing underneath to block the view or the door. At $2,188 to $8,043, width drives most of the cost, so size it to the opening you actually need to cover.
Built to order in Tampa from extruded aluminum with a powder coat or wood grain finish, it is a durable, factory-direct canopy for Florida weather.
