Custom Design Awnings LLC

In 1983 we started out on family property in East Ridge, Tennessee as part of Custom Sheet Metal Fabricators to service the needs of building new welded frames for awnings. Frame building quickly lead to full production of awnings and Custom Canvas Awnings was our breakout venture. We quickly moved production to our own building across the street with our offices still together. Custom Canvas Awnings was also the area's first company to promote staple in covering using SteelStitch products. In 2000, we built our building and moved our entire company of Custom Canvas Awnings, LLC. to our current location. After 2000 we continued to develop our metal awning work and even ventured into some non-traditional materials for production. We moved to add extruded aluminum canopies to our already established roll-formed products, which became popular with contractors and architects. We were challenged to create awnings of polycarbonate and acrylic panels. Standing seam metal awnings and canopies also gained popularity. With our production becoming much more diverse we realized we needed to change our name to reflect that change. As the baton was passing to the second generation, in 2008 we started to do business as Custom Design Awnings.
