We just finished a clean new install for Cohen & Thomas in Derby, CT — two commercial shed awnings that give the storefront a warm, welcoming look. As New Haven Awning, we do a lot of work like this for local businesses, and it’s always nice to see a place get a fresh face. These commercial shed awnings sit proudly over the entrance and help keep the sun and rain off customers and the doorway.
Both covers are welded-frame extension awnings, built strong to stand up to weather and everyday use. Each one measures about 9′ wide × 9′ deep × 3’8″ projection and comes with a scalloped 8-inch valance on a track for a tidy, finished edge. The extension style gives extra cover outside the building, so folks can get in dry when it’s raining and shaded when the sun’s hot.
We used the incredible Sunbrella awning fabric in Terracotta (#4622) color for both awnings. Sunbrella is truly durable: it retains its color, cleans easily, and lasts from season to season. Choosing Sunbrella awning fabric means the Cohen & Thomas awnings will keep their look without fuss, and the terracotta tone really makes the storefront pop with some great curb appeal.
