I have a metal building and want to add a metal "awning", does anyone know who does this and what is it called? It is vertical metal wrapped around the building about a foot away from the building. I have seen it at gas stations and other buildings. I don't think it is called an awning there is no slope just straight up and down. Who does it? Thanks

Try going to the Metal Construction Associations web site where they have a commercial ask the experts section.

You may be talking about a mansard. I'm not sure what you mean about it being a foot away from the building though.

I believe that they are talking about a sunscreen sort of configuration. This sort of thing needs to be custom-fabricated to meet the job's exact needs.
