Working Towards Sustainability
Low-Impact Structures
Product Durability
Quality UK Materials
Environmentally-minded Awnings.
Here at Canvas Awning Company we've been making low-impact structures since the early 2000's.
For us, working towards sustainability begins with choosing high-quality UK materials and extending product durability, so that your Canvas Awning will last for many years.
"So beautiful! You can absolutely tell that these products are hand made by very skilled people. I love that they are made in Britain with locally sourced poles. Amazing amazing product and fab customer service."

Locally sourced wood
The wooden frames for our Canvas Awnings are made from locally-sourced larch and ash poles.
We source coppiced ash and thicket larch from local small-scale or community woodlands and we harvest it ourselves.
Its gratifying to know that from tree to Awning - the whole process will happen within a very small geographical radius. So we're creating something beautiful and functional with minimal impact on the environment.
Our Awning Workshop
Our Northumberland Awning workshop - is solar powered & heated by sawdust!
In spring we work outdoors preparing frames under a Canvas Awning.
In the winter the workshop is heated by our saw-dust burner. It's very satisfying to heat the space using the natural 'waste' from the job in hand.
Heavy-Duty UK Canvas
We use UK-made regentex, a heavy-duty poly-cotton canvas, to make the canopy of our awnings.
The superstar of canvases because its extremely strong & durable with the look of cotton but the longevity of polyester - so it gets the job done and it's made to last and last. We made our first Canvas Awning in 2011 and its still going strong today.
