Our Service Carports
Carports, Porte Cocheres, RV and Boat Storage
From single car parking to bus terminals, we can design and engineer a structure to protect your vehicles. When evaluating your project, we will check the setback requirements, height and wind loading, and provide you with the most efficient solution for sun and rain coverage.
Building the Strongest Carports in South Florida since 1980
Walker Awning specializes in single or multi-space covered carports for business, campus, home, and all other outdoor parking areas. The extreme Florida sun is damaging to both the exterior and interior of vehicles by aggressively fading paint, cracking interior seats and dash, melting knobs, and clouding headlights, not to mention the unpleasant experience of getting into a hot car that’s been baking in the direct sun for even just minutes. Premium Walker Awning carports are constructed with the most durable weather protection materials available and expertly crafted to preserve vehicle longevity and value. Whether you need to cover one parking spot or one hundred, Walker Awning is your premium Florida carport construction solution.
