Serving the Charleston Lowcountry

Fabric awnings in Charleston.

A canvas awning is one of the oldest answers to a Charleston summer — and still one of the best. Shade Coast designs and sews custom fabric awnings for historic homes, piazzas, and King Street storefronts: cool shade over your windows and entries, in colors and shapes that suit the architecture.

Shapes & styles

A profile to fit any facade.

Charleston's mix of single houses, Italianate storefronts, and modern infill calls for awnings with the right line. Shade Coast builds five core fabric styles in commercial-grade Sunbrella, vinyl, and Firesist material — each tailored to the look you're after.

  • Shed Awnings — the classic slanted profile, versatile over single windows, storefronts, or building corners, with room for custom lettering.
  • Curved Awnings — a gentle radius top and bottom for understated elegance over a single door or entry.
  • Convex Awnings — a softly rounded face popular on commercial fronts, framed to wrap corners and shade display windows.
  • Dome Awnings — quarter-sphere or elongated forms that add polish to entryways.
  • Marquee Awnings — a bold front-facing valance for restaurants, shops, and offices to showcase a name or logo.
