ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to improvements in cantilevered support structures for presenting an awning or canopy over and above an area for holding an object such as, for example, a docked water vessel or boat, to protect same from a variety of adverse environmental conditions. The improved support structure of the invention comprises a base for securing the structure to a suitable support surface, such as a dock, and cantilevered support rods extending from the base to present the awning over and above the holding area. The support rods feature lockable sliders for attaching the awning to the support rods and which are adapted for displacement along the support rods so that the awning can be furled from an extended position over and above the holding area to a collapsed position for storage. In order to aid a person entering or exiting an object in the holding area, such as a docked water vessel, the support structure includes along one edge a releasable lock for securing an edge of the awning or canopy to the cantilevered support rods so that the awning or canopy can be released in that region from the support rods and folded or furled to a collapsed position adjacent the lockable sliders presented by the support rods in that region. Once the canopy or awning in that region has been so displaced, access to the object in the holding area is readily available.
