Q: Can awnings handle heavy rain?

• <div>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to allow heavy rain to fall on your awning, as puddling can occur and overload the awning.

As always, consult manufacturer guidelines for using and caring for your awning.</div>

Q: What materials are available for fabric awnings?

Q: Can you just replace the fabric on an awning?

Replacing the fabric on an awning can improve the look of your home and help naturally cool your interior and exterior spaces.</div>
