Weather Protection
These systems afford protection from the sun and rain. In certain configurations, they can also protect from wind.

Architecture
Creative designers and architects can develop useful and intriguing designs for modem awning and canopy systems that incorporate shape, light, color, texture, graphics and structure, at modest cost.

Most awning frames are custom made by cutting, bending and welding metal tubing, and fitting the fabric to the frame. With these custom methods, almost any shape and size can be attained and covered with awning fabric. Hence, the same surface can serve at least three necessary functions: weather protection, identification and architecture.
