Awning Frames Information
All of our awning frames are custom made for a specific purpose and are designed for year-round use in the winds, rains and snows of Oklahoma.
Small awning frames are built using 1x1 aluminum square tubing. Larger awnings and patio covers are built using 1x1 and 1x2 framework and supporting members. All joints are TIG welded and the exposed surfaces are ground flat for a smooth surface under the fabric. Standard support posts for patio covers and entry awnings are 2x2 square steel tubing. Larger sizes are also available.
Detailed frame drawings and engineer stamped drawings can be provided when required.
Frames are most often left as mill-finished aluminum: silver. For customers that prefer not to see silver framework, we can have the frame powder coated or painted to match most solid fabric colors or to coordinate with other colors on your home or business.
Steel support stands are usually painted or powder coated black unless another color is requested.
Powder coat available at additional cost.
