Our Woodsman's Awnings are designed to be straightforward and quick to set-up.
A standard size Canvas Awning takes just two people and can be erected in as little as 30 minutes.

The Woodsman's Awning is designed to be erected on grass or soft ground thats fairly level.
If you want to set one up on hard ground - such as a patio - this may be possible.
Awnings can be secured into a patio by drilling a hole through the grout and then driving a steel peg (supplied with the Awning) through the hole and into the sub-base. If your patio has a concrete sub-base then you can use a heavy-duty chain plate staple.

We made our first Canvas Awning in 2011 and it's still going strong.
We worked it hard from day one - we were running our marquee hire company back then and our Canvas Awnings were out on hire at festivals and weddings every season . In-between hires we used it ourselves for camping trips and garden parties throughout the year. Now, we no longer run a marquee hire business, but our original Canvas Awnings aren't retired, they still get plenty of use and they're still going strong!
