Back in 1918, a small business entrepreneur opened the doors to Van Nuys Awning.
Can you imagine what awnings looked like back then and what type of services were offered?

Eighty-one years later, Van Nuys Awning is still making custom canvas products for our residential, commercial and industrial clients. Thriving as one of California's largest manufacturers of residential and commercial awnings, patio umbrellas and cushions, marine canvas products, industrial canvas products and specialty metal products. Van Nuys Awning's ownership, the Powell family, is in their third generation. You will find superior quality, premier service and a friendly, knowledgeable staff to assist you. With two IFAI Certified Master Fabric Craftsmen in awning design and manufacturing on staff we perform magic with canvas.

In the early 60's, Van Nuys Awning moved to a larger facility in downtown Van Nuys, with 11,000 square feet, eight employees and the Powell family. Our reputation for quality and service grew and so did we as our customers recommended us to friends and associates. By the early 70's, we added another facility to accommodate our growing marine canvas division; specializing in custom fitted boat covers and bimini tops.
