Building the Strongest Awnings in South Florida since 1978Our local shop should be the first and only stop for your residential or commercial shade needs. We design and build everything right here in Fort Lauderdale.Our awnings are known for being able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms where many others have failed. We craft our awnings using the best materials, design and engineering practices. We focus on efficient truss design as well as reinforcing weak points that would otherwise fail during storms. We do not upcharge or cut corners when it comes critical anchors, connections, welds, and fasteners.Engineered to last. Engineered beyond code.We use thick-walled hot-dipped galvanized steel (Schedule 40) or Schedule 40 aluminum, never thin-walled pipe like gator shield or conduit.We do not use zinc plated fasteners, always stainless steel and galvanized anchors. Base plates and connectors are always hot dipped galvanizedAll frame corners are mitered and fully welded together, completely sealing the pipe interior from the corrosive effects of moisture and salt airAll fabricated metal frames are properly primed and painted.
