St. Simons Island Homeowners Love These Custom Awning Solutions

Living Outdoors the Coastal Way

St. Simons Island is known for its beautiful marsh views, relaxed pace of life, and a strong sense of community—all things that naturally encourage time spent outdoors. Whether it’s sipping coffee on the porch, hosting a dinner on the patio, or enjoying sea breezes from a sunroom, outdoor living is a way of life here.

But let’s be honest—coastal living also comes with intense sun, salt air, sudden rain, and humidity. That’s where custom awning solutions from Coastal Canvas Products make a major difference. Designed for both beauty and performance, our retractable awnings are a favorite among St. Simons Island homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor spaces longer, more comfortably, and in style.

Why Awnings Are a Must-Have in Coastal Georgia

Function Meets Style in the Lowcountry

When you're living just minutes from the beach, you want outdoor areas that are as welcoming and well-designed as your indoor spaces. Custom awnings provide shade, reduce heat, protect furniture, and elevate curb appeal—all with options that enhance your home’s architecture.

• Sun and Rain Protection: Block UV rays and stay dry during afternoon showers.
• Energy Savings: Keep your home cooler by shading sun-exposed windows and doors.
• Outdoor Comfort: Turn hot patios and decks into shaded retreats.
• Stylish Finishes: Choose from colors, patterns, and frames that complement your coastal aesthetic.
• Durability You Can Trust: Built with custom metal fabrication and marine-grade materials to withstand coastal conditions.
