Twenty years ago when I bought my house it came with a fixed awning on one of our decks. So every season I had an awning company take it down, store it for the winter and put it back up in the spring.
By the second year the awning company went out of business and as far as I was concerned not a day to soon. Fortunately they went out of business while I had possession of my awning.
Step in Knoll Awnings. They took my awning the next year and stored it for the winter. These people are professional and have been in business for many many years. When I call for my awning it's put up the same day or the next day at the latest and the same when taking it down.
Could I do it myself? No it's very complex with cords threaded through it to attach it to the frame. As can be expected awnings have a life expectancy. A few years ago mine was starting to show signs of wear.
I spoke to Fred, the owner, who made a new one to order and at a very reasonable price.
I'm a customer for life and should you need an awning, I highly recommend "Knoll Awnings. read more
