Canvas and other awning ideas
I have been out of the awning market for some time now. When I first
started, I went to Disneyland, and found all manner of awnings and ideas for fastening them to frames, many of which I brought back to Las Vegas, and put me in the forefront of awning makers in Vegas for years. Now, today, I see lots and lots of covers on public school grounds. And sail shaped combinations that give both shade and incredible aesthetic effects. They are highly tensioned with steel cable, and I am sure made of fabric about two light years ahead of Sunbrella in strength and weather resistant properties. Anyone know the name or source of this? I also weld, so making frames, and support columns and anchorages is no big deal. Are there any sites anyone can recommend where I can go and look for ideas? What I do a lot is just carry my camera and when I see something, jump out and take a picture. We were at Fazoli's the other day (a chain Italian fast food restaurant) and the people musta thought we were crazy for taking pictures. I see the company plate names on the shade structures, but they want to sell the whole job, and not just the component parts. Help, caveats, and guidance appreciated. Steve |
