At BH Awning | Commercial and Residential, we know that a durable, well-engineered frame is essential to the performance, longevity, and appearance of any awning or canopy. Our expert team will work with you to determine which frame system best supports your specific application — whether for a residential patio cover, commercial storefront, or custom architectural solution.

The extruded aluminum frames we use in many of our awnings, canopies and structural enclosures are designed with high strength-to-weight ratios. This ensures long-term performance while minimizing added weight and maximizing material lifespan. Our framing options are selected based on a variety of factors including fabric compatibility, shape, load requirements, and structural needs.

Using computer-aided design software, we ensure precise engineering and customization. We'll guide you through the process, advising on material selection, structural optimization, installation techniques, and aesthetics — so your final product is both functional and visually appealing.

We offer multiple frame system options to meet a variety of needs:

Steel Stitch Frame System

Staple-in awnings revolutionized the industry by replacing traditional sewing methods with the speed and precision of steel staples. As an authorized Steel Stitch manufacturer, BH Awning delivers clean, secure, and professional results that perform exceptionally in outdoor environments.

Lace and Grommet System with Steel Frame

For certain structural needs, steel is the preferred framing material. In these cases, we use a traditional lace and grommet system paired with high-strength, cold-formed mechanical steel tubing. This tubing is triple-coated with a zinc galvanizing layer, a conversion coating, and a clear polymer topcoat to ensure excellent corrosion resistance and strength.

No matter the project, BH Awning is committed to providing reliable, expertly crafted frames that support your space for years to come.
