Feeding Northeast Florida

Project Overview

The Feeding Northeast Florida project in Jacksonville, FL required a post-supported canopy system with a unique design at the front entrance of the building. This was a renovation to an existing building and the architect was looking for a pre-fabricated aluminum canopy system that resembled a structural steel canopy with roofing, framing, and soffit that had been installed on a previous building. PCG’s project management team worked with the general contractor and architect to design a pre-fabricated canopy system meeting their intentions.

Location: 5245 Old Kings Road, Jacksonville, FL 32254
Completion Date: April 2024
Project Duration: 1.5 weeks
Total Coverage Area: 285 square feet
General Contractor: The Conlan Company
Project Manager: Blake Dodson

Technical Specifications

  • Framework: (4) 6”x6” columns and (2) 6” x 10” beams
  • Canopy System: Self-mating canopy panels and a 12” perimeter gutter/fascia.
  • Projection: 26’-10” (max.) off of building wall
  • Height: Varying from 10’-5” to 14’-1” A.F.F.
  • Finish: Powder-Coat “Cat Black”
  • Drainage: Integrated gutter system with 1x downspout
  • Wind Rating: Engineered to meet 124 mph wind loads

Project Challenges & Solutions

Challenge: Create a pre-fabricated canopy system to match a design used on another building that used traditional construction components (steel, roof, deck, TPO roofing, metal framing, and soffit).

Solution: Mocking up an entire canopy system at PCG’s facilities to determine the limitations and capabilities of a pre-fabricated canopy system.
