Window Awning Canopy

An awning is made of fabric that is attached to a building over a glass window or door. Meanwhile, a canopy is a freestanding structure that has posts supporting its fabric roof.But technically there is a difference between the two. Awnings are typically attached to a home's exterior wall to provide shade over a window, door, or patio. Canopies are fabric coverings that provide shelter for a freestanding structure, such as a pergola.
