Flat Pan Covered Walkways Built to Last
Serving Bowling Green & Surrounding Areas
Engineered Shelter for Safer, Drier Paths
What a Flat Pan Covered Walkway Is and Why It Matters
A flat pan covered walkway is a permanent canopy system built from interlocking aluminum pans that create a clean, flat profile. Supported by structural beams and posts, it shields pedestrians from rain, sun, and debris while guiding foot traffic between buildings. Integrated gutters and downspouts manage runoff to keep walking surfaces drier and safer.
Beyond weather protection, these canopies enhance wayfinding, improve accessibility, and protect entrances, ramps, and equipment. The low-profile aesthetic aligns with many architectural styles, and the modular design scales easily for schools, healthcare campuses, offices, multifamily communities, and hospitality properties.
Durable Aluminum Systems Built for Real-World Loads
We specify high-quality aluminum flat pans, beams, and columns with durable factory finishes that resist corrosion, fading, and chalking. Options include powder-coated or high-performance fluoropolymer finishes in a range of colors. System components are selected to meet your span, exposure, and durability requirements, with matching gutters, downspouts, and trim for a cohesive look.
Every walkway is engineered to applicable building codes and site-specific loads using recognized standards such as ASCE 7. We address wind uplift, snow and rain loads, thermal movement, and drainage. Attachment methods can be freestanding or building-mounted with proper flashing; foundations are designed for soil conditions; and clearances align with IBC and ADA guidance for safe, accessible routes.
Clear Steps, Predictable Timelines, Quality Results
Our process begins with a consultative site visit to understand traffic patterns, problem areas, and project goals. We measure routes, note utilities and egress points, and discuss canopy geometry, column spacing, and accessories like lighting or signage. You’ll receive recommendations tailored to aesthetics, function, and budget.
We provide detailed submittals—shop drawings, engineering documents, color samples, and schedules—to streamline approvals and permitting. Our team coordinates with facilities staff and other trades, plans delivery logistics, and phases work to minimize disruption, including options for off-hours or school-break installations.
Installation follows a proven sequence: layout and footings, columns and beams, interlocking flat pans, integrated gutters/downspouts, flashing and sealants, and finishing trim. We perform quality checks, water-test drainage, and leave the site clean. You’ll receive care guidance—periodic rinsing, debris removal from gutters, and scheduled inspections—plus access to manufacturer and workmanship warranty options.

We got an estimate and the work was all done as promised and in a timely manner. Our porch is beautiful and the screens will keep all the bugs away as well as provide some privacy.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have wanted a screen porch area for many years and finally decided to take the leap and make it happen. Even though I chose to do it late in the season for this year, it has been a huge bonus for me. I absolutely love it and choosing Ultimate Shade and Screen Solutions was the right choice! These guys are the best workers I have encountered in a very long time! Tim Cardwell gave me a very reasonable estimate, ordered the supplies needed and got right to work. They had to build over my existing small deck as I didn’t want to completely tear it out, instead, keeping it for storage. Very respectable men, always went out of their way to accommodate any of my ideas. I highly recommend them for any of your projects needed. I also appreciate the family owned aspect of their company. I wouldn’t hesitate to call them at any time for future projects I may need. I can’t wait to thoroughly enjoy my porch this summer! Thanks to Tim and the guys!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our back patio screened in about 7 months ago and we absolutely love it!
