Patio, Deck, Porch and Door Awnings
Every canvas awning we build is sized to the space you want covered.
Patio Awnings
A patio awning shades the table where you eat and sit outside.
Deck Awnings
A deck awning keeps a sunny deck usable on hot afternoons. It can shade one corner or the whole deck.
Porch Awnings
An awning for porch seating is one of our most common requests. Add drop curtains or roll-down side shades to block low sun.
Door and Window Awnings
A front door awning keeps rain off the step. Window awnings block sun before it heats the room.
For shade you can roll away, we also install retractable awnings. For an awning that stays up all year, we build metal awnings.
Canvas awnings in Pittsburgh usually come down for winter. Our annual awning service takes yours down in the fall, cleans and stores it, and puts it back up in spring.
Clear Vinyl Porch Panels for Winter
Neilly Canvas makes clear vinyl porch panels that close in a porch or patio for the colder months. You keep the view and cut the wind and snow.
We surround each clear panel with fabric. Clear vinyl has no thread base inside it, so it tears more easily in wind. The fabric surround adds that strength back.
