Steel and membrane canopies for residential entrances

Residential entrance canopies often serve vehicles and pedestrians together. Establish separate access points, access-control equipment and guard-post locations before placing supports and cover.

Check access-control operation alongside circulation

Show the operating envelopes of barriers, gates and identification devices clearly. Keep supports and edges clear of staff sightlines and principal pedestrian approaches so equipment and structure work together.

  • What positions do barriers and identification devices require?
