Canopy

A canopy is any shelter that is a simple protective rooflike covering, often of canvas, mounted on a frame. One type of canopy you see often in cities, they are the canopies that are erected over a walkway or door. Classy restaurants and hotels and shops and apartment buildings will often have a large often ornate canvas or metal and plastic canopy over the entrance and walkway to the entrance. The purpose of a canopy is to provide people with some protection from the elements either wind, rain, snow, or sun. These canopies are permanent structures attached to the buildings they are in front of and meant to last decades or more.
