Awnings often serve a greater purpose than simply being a protective shield against the elements. An end user may want an awning that is an architectural statement, signage for advertising, or an intriguing way to capture people’s attention. Fabric awnings offer significant advantages including lower costs, customization, styling & aesthetic considerations, and flexibility.

Everyone loves a hot summer day in the backyard until it comes to sitting under the harsh rays and getting that first sunburn. Shade is essential.

Did you know that an outdoor area is one of the biggest draws for businesses in the summer months? While everyone loves a good patio, most do not like sitting in direct sunlight. That is why shading systems are essential for outside commercial spaces in Northern California.

Many homeowners are concerned about increased energy consumption due to air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. With an awning, you can say “goodbye” to those enormous energy bills. No matter what season it is, a retractable awning will serve you and your wallet. 

Are you considering an awning for your backyard or business? Awnings are the best way to create functional, inviting, and weather-sheltered outdoor spaces for your home or business, and an awning made with Sunbrella Marine Fabric is sure to be both beautiful and functional.
